Sunday Afternoon Horse Racing at Royal Bangkok Sports Club

TIME : 2016/2/24 18:18:11

Visitors to Bangkok are often surprised to learn that there are two racecourses in the city. I’ve written before about the .

How to get to Royal Bangkok Sports Club

Although you can see the Royal Bangkok Sports Club from Ratchadamri BTS station, you can’t access the course from there. The nearest BTS Skytrain station is Siam. After getting off at Siam head to Exit 6 and walk across the footbridge. Walk along Henri Dunant Road in the direction of traffic for approximately 10 minutes and you’ll see the RBSC to your left. If you don’t feel like walking you can take a motorbike taxi for 20/30 Baht from Siam BTS or a standard taxi-meter for 45/50 Baht. Entrances 1 and 2 are reserved for club members with Entrance 3 used for the general public.

The headquarters of the Thai Red Cross is close to the RBSC with the street named in honour of the founder of the Red Cross, Henri Dunant.
