Can anyone tell me when the Thailand Open will be held this year (2008), and wil it be at the National Stadium? Also, where's the best place to buy racquets in Bangkok? Thnx

SCG World Grand Prix Thailand Open Badminton Championships 2008 will be held between 23 - 29 June 2008 at Nimidbud Building, National Stadium, Bangkok. Take Sky Train get off at National Stadium Station is the best choice to get there. The Admision is totally free.
The best place to buy Racquet is around the National Stadium area. From National Stadium walk straight ahead about 200 meter you will reach small road turn left you will see many Badminton shop in this area. You will get best price too but may not get a good service.

Thanks for the info, are the badminton shops past National Stadium in the opposite direction of the MBK Mall off Rama I Rd.? Thanks in advance.

That's right. Enjoy your shopping.

I would like to recommend the shops that you will get a good prices.

:) Please also visit the shop's website or contact the shop owner to update the prices and the availability of the product.

Wow, thanks a lot for the info., I was at the Mybadlookbad store on Sukhumvit yesterday. They have very good prices there and the owner, Bern is very knowledgeable, speaks very good English (my Thai is not good) and is a good guy. I'll probably go back in the next day or so and buy a racquet, thanks again and I appreciate any other information about badminton in Bangkok that you might have.

I never been to the MYbadlookbad store before so it so nice to hear about the good thing of the shop. Products price are very competitive compare to the shops in National Stadium area but it is easier to get there so I will definitely go there for sure. Thank you.

Would like to ask? Do any of you know what time will the tournament start on QF, SF and F? and any idea from where will the badminton players exit the stadium from?
