Shanghai Sport Thailand is on Soi Phet Kasem 25/2 in Phasi Charoen, Bangkok. It holds a 4.4 rating from 66 Google reviews. Before anything else, I need to correct the premise: every member who describes this place calls it a shop.
It's A Table Tennis Shop
"Very good and most popular TT Shop in Bangkok." "All table tennis equipments can be found here." "Very good equipped shop with good prices."
Three out of four reviewers use the word shop. Nobody describes training here, joining here, or a membership. Nobody mentions a gym floor, weights or classes.
So if you arrived at this page looking for somewhere to work out in Phasi Charoen, this isn't it, and I'd rather tell you that in the first thirty seconds than pad out five hundred words pretending otherwise.
What it appears to be is a specialist retailer, and by the sound of it a good one. If you play table tennis in Bangkok and need blades, rubbers or a table, four members say this is the place.
What They Actually Say
The praise is consistent and narrow: comprehensive stock, good prices, helpful staff. "Very helpful and nice staff." One member calls it the most popular table tennis shop in the city.
That's a strong claim and nobody disputes it, though nobody corroborates it either.
The Price Complaint
The only dissent is a three-star from in February 2017: "They used to be good value but just recently put up most of their prices by about 20%."
A specific number, which I like, but it's from 2017 and a member in 2019 still calls the prices good. Read those together and the increase either bedded in or the reviewer's benchmark was out of date. Either way, "good prices" is the later verdict, and even that one is from 2019.
Parking
One practical note: "Limited parking lot." That's the only logistical detail on record, and in that part of Bangkok I'd take it seriously.
What I Can't Tell You
No opening hours appear in the listing. Whether there are tables to play on, coaching, or a club attached to the shop, no source I could verify says. Several reviews imply retail only.
That's a real gap. A shop that sells table tennis equipment and a club where you can play are different things, and this record only supports the first.
