Founded by fathers and sons who believed sport has the power to bring people together.
Royal International Pickleball Club was founded from a shared vision between fathers and sons who believed that sport has the power to bring people together.
After discovering the incredible community surrounding pickleball, they saw an opportunity to create something special in Bangkok — a place where players of every age, background, and experience level could feel welcomed.
What began as a simple idea soon grew into a thriving international community built on friendship, encouragement, and a genuine love for the game.
At Royal, every session is about more than competition. It is about helping beginners gain confidence, supporting experienced players in reaching the next level, and creating meaningful relationships that extend beyond the court.
Today, Royal International Pickleball Club welcomes local and international players from around the world and continues working toward its long-term vision of becoming one of Asia's premier pickleball communities.
To grow the game of pickleball by creating an inclusive community where players improve, compete, and build lifelong friendships.
To become one of Asia's leading pickleball communities while inspiring people of every generation to stay active through sport.
Royal is run by players, for players — a small team that shows up on court every single Saturday.
