love.tennis
One of the most common questions in Bangkok groups for foreign guests in Thailand is: how do I find someone to play tennis with? The city has dozens of courts and thousands of players, but they are scattered across a large metro area and there has not historically been a single go-to resource.
This guide covers every verified method that Bangkok tennis players are actually using, based on online communities and club resources.
2. love.tennis (This Platform)
love.tennis is a Bangkok-focused tennis matching and sessions platform. You can:
- Post your availability and NTRP level
- Browse open sessions and join as a guest
- Connect with players in your area of the city
3. Liga Tennis Bangkok
Website: liga.tennisLiga Tennis operates structured leagues in Bangkok. If you want organised competitive play (round-robin or knockout format), Liga is the best option. You register as an individual and they place you in a league bracket with players at your level. Matches are self-scheduled between participants.
4. Reddit — r/Bangkok and r/expats
A consistent stream of "looking for tennis partner" posts appears on r/Bangkok. The community is active and responses are typically fast. Search for recent posts first — there are often standing threads.
Tips for posting:- Include your NTRP level (or approximate: beginner / intermediate / advanced)
- Mention your area (Sukhumvit, Silom, Lat Phrao, etc.)
- Specify whether you want casual hit or competitive
5. Facebook Groups
Several active Facebook groups are used by Bangkok tennis players. Searching for "Bangkok Tennis" on Facebook will surface the main ones. These groups are publicly visible and updated regularly.
6. Tennis Apps (TennisPoint, PlayYourCourt, Tennis Buddy)
Several apps exist for finding tennis partners internationally. These have varying levels of activity in Bangkok — worth checking but not as reliable as the local options listed above.
TennisPoint and PlayYourCourt have some Bangkok presence. Tennis Buddy has been mentioned in Thai tennis forums. Activity in Bangkok varies — check the app's Bangkok listings to see if there are active players in your area.7. Coaching Programmes as a Route to Partners
Joining a coaching programme at any of the major clubs is one of the best ways to meet players at your level. Group lessons at Ace of Clubs, Noah BKK, Primal Tennis, and others regularly produce lasting play partnerships.
Setting Expectations: Level Matching
Bangkok tennis has a wide range of player levels. When searching for a partner, being specific about your level prevents wasted journeys:
- NTRP 2.0–2.5: Beginner — just learning
- NTRP 3.0–3.5: Intermediate — comfortable rallying
- NTRP 4.0–4.5: Strong club player
- NTRP 5.0+: Advanced / competitive
Most Bangkok clubs and communities use NTRP as the reference system.
