Padel Bay

Padel Bay Indoor Club is an air-conditioned padel venue in Cherngtalay, Thalang, on Phuket's west coast between Laguna Phuket and Layan Beach. It describes itself as the only fully indoor, air-conditioned padel centre in Phuket, and that is its main draw: players based around Bang Tao, Layan and Laguna can book a court without worrying about the midday heat or the monsoon. The club holds a 4.6 rating from 88 reviews on the Phuket Insider directory.

The courts

The courts are enclosed, air-conditioned and well ventilated, with a modern interior and a waiting area that looks down over play. Directory listings disagree on the exact number of courts, quoting between one and six; the club's own channels are the best place to confirm current capacity before booking a group session.

Rates and booking

Court hire is at the upper end for Phuket, with one directory quoting around THB 2,000 per hour; equipment rental is extra. Bookings are handled through the club's WhatsApp community and phone line rather than a booking app, and replies can take a little time at busy periods. Private and group coaching, including children's classes, is arranged the same way.
