Check the MAP for direction to MY HOUSE 1 Badminton Court.
Or you may print it out and show it to Taxi Driver.
It's near Central Pin-Klao Departmentstore.

As said, Thaibadminton.com is in both Thai and (awkward) English.
Just click UK flag to make it in English.
Of course, there are some things in Thai, and almost all posts are in Thai. However, many will talk to you in English if you introduce yourself that you are no Thai.

Try it again. You will be surprised by the number of badminton lovers replying to your posts as friends.
====
Other foreigners did do it, so do you. Here are my guide for you.

Yes...You are right that some menus are still in Thai.
Allow me to guide you more.

You must apply to be a member: After clicking on the U.K. flag > Register > Menus and discription appear in English. You would understand with some guess. Sorry about that. Thailand is never ruled by other nations! :-)

You can post only when you are a member.

The new change has been made that you cannot seen any post unless you log in (as a member).

Check the images attached to get to know some Thai words.

When clicking on 'New Topic,' menus you need are in English. You will know how to get around.

You can just simply ignore some Thai sentences -- they are about rules. Type in English to introduce yourself, and ask what you want. I'm sure many will reply you in English, and welcome you to join in. Better add your photo to create friendliness.

Hope I don't miss anything.

Cheers,

Alber K

I was in the vicinity of the Mitsena Badminton Courts late Saturday night and dropped by to catch some badminton action of the 'All Star Badminton Club' players there. The courts are rubberised and the lighting is good.

Hi All,

Sorry... that I have been away and have missed to answer some.

I'm back and hope to be of some information source about Thailand.

Cheers,

I have been to take some photos at a Thai badminton competition.
I like some of my photos of those in actions. They have been put on a slide show at this website 'http://resport.co.cc/' which is under 'http://sites.google.com/site/BadmintonThailand' (with active Google maps of some Thai badminton courts including My House). If you like to download a photo click on the link on those slide show to go to PicasaWeb.google.com, then you can download it. Note: some photos are downloaded at bigger size after clicking a magnifying icon.

Cheers.
Kay
