Chiang Mai has at least 10+ dedicated indoor pickleball courts — ideal for avoiding the heat, rain (May–October), or poor air quality days. Indoor venues are typically high-roofed warehouses or gymnasiums with synthetic or hard surfaces, good lighting, and consistent playing conditions.
Fees start at 140 THB/hour. Most venues are well-lit, climate-controlled or high-roofed, and welcoming for all levels.
Dedicated pickleball shops are still limited in Chiang Mai, but paddles, balls, and accessories are widely available at courts, general sporting goods stores, and online retailers.
Large sporting goods chain that stocks general racquet sports gear. Not pickleball-specific, but often carries paddles and balls — or can order them. A good starting point for basic equipment and accessories.
Second Decathlon location in the old-city / tourist area. Convenient if you're staying near the centre and need gear quickly.
On-site pro shop featuring paddles, bags, and gear from JOOLA. One of the best-stocked court-side shops in the city.
Reliable selection of paddles and accessories on-site in Doi Saket. Mentioned frequently as a good spot for quality equipment purchases.

Instagram-based retailer curating high-quality pickleball equipment. Ships to Chiang Mai and may do pop-up events at local courts.
Sells paddles (e.g., B&B Shogun models) via Instagram with authentic imports. Good option if you want to avoid grey-market fakes.
Thailand's major e-commerce platforms with a wide range of imported pickleball gear. Brands like Selkirk, Gamma, JOOLA, and ARISE ship nationally. Compare prices and check seller ratings.
The Chiang Mai Pickleball Club group and others on Facebook are the best way to find games, meet players, buy/sell gear, and get court updates.
Most major courts and clubs offer paddle and ball rentals — you don't need your own gear to start playing.
Outdoor courts are great in the cool, dry months (Nov–Feb). Choose indoor courts during rainy season (May–Oct) and smoky season (Feb–Apr).
Many courts host scheduled open-play sessions and beginner meetups. Check club socials or apps like Playtime Scheduler for times.
