(Great to see old S**** up and about after his crash last year)

Us Aussies must be very bad in the eyes of your daughters school teacher as horse racing is the 2nd biggest industry in Australia, anywhere you go there's nothing like a relaxing day at the track. It intrigues me how Thais always know whats good and bad for other people but don't seem to have a problem with their sister and katoey brother performing horizantal rhumba and other activities in Pattaya, then again we've come to exprect double standards from Thais.

Ratchadamri.

I could kick a football onto the track from my driveway, but I've never even seen what it looks like inside. Thanks for the pics... now I no longer feel the need to get brave and venture inside. (Mafia-types with mullets intimidate me...)

There are 2 racecourses in Bangkok:

Royal Bangkok Sports Club – Henri Dunant Road (Opposite Chulalongkorn University). You can see the course from the Rajdamri Skytrain but there is no public entrance on that road.
Royal Turf Club – Nanglerng

They hold races at each venue on alternate Sundays – or Saturday if the Sunday is Wan Phra – first race starts around 12.00 .

Best if you can go as a guest of a Member since the public Stands are not particularly pleasant for Farang – lots of Military Police around to keep the peace. For that reason there is no alcohol on sale inside.

Betting is all on the Tote system although there are numerous illegal bookmakers.

The horses are really Ponies by international standards.

The first floor is a balcony viewing area, and inside it has an air conditioned lounge, bar, TV's and betting counter and toilets, Free to get in, minimum bet 100 baht.
Top floor is the high rollers.

nice pics thanks for sharing them whith us

Glad this was bumped. Never knew it existed up there, especially not races every week.

You still going PP?

I'll have to head over for a day next time I'm up that way.

For 100baht it's worth it just to get out of the heat. I have never been lucky with the horses.
