700 Year Stadium Tennis Chiang Mai Thailand
We went looking for tennis and found a world-class facility in Chiang Mai. The 700 Years Stadium built in honor of the city’s seven century anniversary features 11 practice courts and one center court which are open 7am to 9pm. They are lit at night, sometimes a good idea because the days can be very warm in Thailand, even in the north. There is a pro-shop there that is stocked with virtually everything you would need to play the game.
How to Get to 700 Year Stadium in Chiang Mai Thailand
You can find the courts by going down Chotana road to the new city hall. Turn left and keep going until you cross Canal Road. Once you’re in the sports complex, follow the signs and arrows.
What to Do After Playing Tennis at 700 Year Stadium-Wat Doi Suthep
After playing tennis we took our rented motorcycle and rode up the mountain to Doi Suthep budhist wat (temple). The views were stunning and hill tribes people sold their traditional crafts at some spots on the way up. The Doi Hutep wat was magnificent. Be prepared for lots of tourists at this well-known temple though.
Where to stay near 700 Year Stadium-Chiang Mai Boutique House Hotel
We arrived there at night. We clambered out of the songthaew(open air shared taxi) after a twelve hour train ride from Bangkok, and there it was, the Chiang Mai Boutique House, an eclectic statement of a hotel that gently represents many of the elements of this northern city, and is a backstreet refuge in this city of bars, stunning Buddhist Wats(temples), markets and Thai massage parlors. The rooms are wrapped around a courtyard, pool and breakfast lounge area where you can watch the interesting world of Chaing Mai pass by your eyes while surround by northern Thai design.
