I just came back to my room from an ice skating session here in Bangkok. Seriously. I even took some pictures to show you. The rink we went to is on the 7th floor of the Central Rama 9 shopping mall. It’s called The Rink.

It’s pretty easy to get there: Just take the MRT (Underground) to Phra Ram 9 station. The mall is connected to the station so you don’t even have to go outside.

The price for a 1.5 hour ice skating session is 280 Baht, see the timetable and price list below. Lockers are available too but you have to pay 30-50 Baht extra. The ice skates are included in the price.

The whole rink and all facilities are super new and best quality.

I know there are a couple of other rinks, for example in Central World or at Major Cineplex Sukhumvit, but they are significantly smaller and a lot more crowded. The rink at Central Rama 9 has the size of an ice hockey rink. And guess what, I have seen something that I would have never expected: Thai guys playing and training professional ice hockey!

Update: Unfortunately, they closed The Rink at Central Rama 9 and replaced it with a game hall for children!

However, there is a great alternative:

Sub Zero Ice Skate Club (Ekkamai Mall, 9th floor)
