Padel on Koh Samui

Padel has taken over Samui. Five clubs now dot the island, from the premium roofed courts at Padel Tropical in Bophut to sunset sessions at Purple Padel on the west coast. Courts cost roughly 500 to 1,200 THB per hour depending on the club and time of day. Most clubs rent rackets and balls, run beginner lessons and have WhatsApp groups where you can find playing partners at your level. Book ahead for prime time in high season, especially December to February. If you live on the north coast, Bantai Padel and Padel Tropical are your closest options; in Lamai, Padel Paradise is fully covered so rain never stops play.
