Grand Soccer Pro On Nut: Big Covered Pitches in Suan Luang, Bangkok

Grand Soccer Pro On Nut sits on On Nut 17 Alley in Suan Luang. It's a full sports complex rather than a football site: three to four covered pitches, a basketball court, a reception, a canteen and showers, with parking on site.

Bigger pitches, more room

The pitches here are noticeably larger than the small-sided surfaces you find at most Bangkok venues. That changes the game. We run 7-a-side as standard, and 8-a-side when the numbers allow, because there's genuinely the space for it.

More room means more running and more time on the ball. If you find tight five and six-a-side pitches frustrating, where the game turns into a scramble, this is the surface that will suit you. It's covered and lit, so the weather and the hour don't get a say.

The pitch in your neighbourhood

This is the eastern Sukhumvit side of the city, and that's the point. If you live around On Nut, Phra Khanong, Udom Suk or anywhere along that stretch, this is the pitch you can reach in minutes rather than crossing town for.

Bangkok traffic quietly decides which games you actually attend. A pitch twenty minutes from your flat gets played on. One that's an hour away gets talked about. Grand Soccer Pro On Nut exists on this list because a large chunk of our players live on this side of the city.

The games

Games are 7-a-side, or 8-a-side when we can fill it. They currently run on Monday, Friday and Saturday evenings. The Friday and Saturday games are bigger 90-minute sessions with three teams on rotation. The schedule moves, so check the app for the current week.

It's 230 to 280 THB per player, depending on how early you book, and the same whichever way you pay. The first spots in each game are the cheapest.

How it works

Pick your slot in the app and pay for it there. That's the whole process. Nothing changes hands at the pitch.

We sort the sides once everyone's arrived, evening them out by level, so turning up alone is completely normal and you won't be left standing around. Most people here came on their own the first time.

The venue map shows every pitch we run across the city, and the Bangkok pickup football guide is worth a read if you're new to all this.
