Shanghai Sport Thailand Table Tennis

Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand

This is a table tennis shop, not a gym

Let's clear that up in the first line. Google's own category tags for this Bangkok listing are "sporting_goods_store" and "store," the website is a table tennis retailer, and every single review talks about buying rubber, rackets, and equipment rather than training. So if you landed here looking for a place to work out, you're in the wrong spot. What you'll find instead is a well-regarded pro shop, and I'll pull out what the reviews actually tell a shopper.

What buyers say

The store holds a 4.5 average across 95 reviews, which is high for retail. The recurring themes are selection and price. A November 2022 reviewer calls it a "nice place to shop table tennis goods with a wide variety of brands available." A May 2022 review praises "large selection of rubber and rackets." Staff come up too: a January 2026 visitor wrote that the "friendly and helpful staff" speak English, "which was very helpful for this foreigner who doesn't speak enough Thai yet," and described the store as "well stocked" with "reasonable prices."

The one caveat worth knowing before you go

Two separate reviewers flag the same gap, and it's the kind of detail that saves a wasted trip. They don't stock Butterfly. An April 2024 reviewer put it bluntly: "there is NO the PP most popular brand named Butterfly to be sold here." A July 2024 review repeats it: "Do not sell Butterfly equipment." If you're loyal to that brand, this matters. When two independent voices name the exact same limitation, I treat it as a reliable fact rather than one person's bad day.

What the average measures, and what it hides

There's a small tension in the numbers. That April 2024 reviewer notes prices are strong "especially in its promotion period," while the November 2022 review says "prices are less attractive than years ago." So pricing may swing with whatever promotion is running when you visit. Isn't that worth a phone call before you drive across the city? A two-minute call to +66 2 869 0512 will tell you more about current stock and promotions than any review can.

What's missing

No review lists specific prices for a bat or a sheet of rubber. No one describes the returns policy, whether they offer racket assembly, or whether staff can recommend rubber for your playing style. The listed hours run Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 17:30, with no Sunday hours shown, but confirm before a weekend trip.

Who it's not for

Butterfly devotees, since the store doesn't carry it. And obviously anyone searching for a place to train rather than a place to buy gear.

Friendly and helpful staff. They speak English, which was very helpful for this foreigner who doesn't speak enough Thai yet. Well stocked store and reasonable prices.

Nice place to shop table tennis goods with a wide variety of brands available. It appears that the prices are less attractive than years ago though.
