Unleash your adventurous spirit with Public House Adventure Guide from go-karting and indoor surfing to Muay Thai and bungee jumping.

Your Thailand Vacation should include a lot of time lying around by the hotel rooftop pool at The Mooon, but sometimes you just gotta mix it up with some adrenaline-pumping activities. Here are our extreme sports Thailand suggestions to get your heart rate up here in Bangkok and within driving distance to the capital.

Go Karting at EasyKart Bangkok

Experience the thrill of high-speed racing at this indoor go-karting arena. Channel your inner Formula 1 driver as you zoom around the track, overtaking opponents and navigating sharp turns. It's a perfect activity for thrill-seekers of all skill levels, providing an adrenaline-pumping dose of excitement. Find it Just 3.7 km from Public House.

Soar Through the Air on a Zip Line Adventure

For adrenaline junkies seeking a unique perspective, zip-lining is the way to go. Unfortunately Flight of the Gibbon never reopened after the pandemic, but a 3-hour drive to the beachside town of Hua Hin has a lot to offer including the Treetop Adventure Park which offers short or long courses on the outskirts of town in the bush. Strap yourself in for a zippy ride.

Indoor Surfing Bangkok at Flow House

Ride the waves without hitting the beach! Head to Flow House Bangkok - just 2.4 km from Public House - for an indoor surfing experience that combines the excitement of surfing with the convenience of Sukhumvit. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or a beginner, the artificial wave system creates the perfect environment for an adrenaline-charged surfing session.

Amp Up the Challenge with Muay Thai Training

For a cultural and physically demanding experience, try your hand (and feet) at Muay Thai, Thailand's national sport. Numerous training camps for Muay Thai in Bangkok offer classes for all skill levels. Including several within walking distance to Public House! We love the RSM Muay Thai Academy where both beginners and experts train. Contact them for more info about classes or private training.

Urban Jungle Parkour

Unleash your inner daredevil with Bangkok Parkour. The urban playground of Bangkok parks offer an exhilarating environment for free runners and parkour enthusiasts. Challenge yourself to navigate through obstacles, scale walls, and master gravity-defying jumps. It's a full-body workout that doubles as a thrilling adventure. They post their weekly Saturday locations on their Facebook page.

Wakeboarding in Bangkok

Enjoy wakeboarding at Taco Lake Bangkok, Thailand's first cable wake park and the closest one to the city. While Thai Wake Park is popular, Taco Lake offers a compelling alternative. It's easily accessible and ideal for beginners, providing kneeboards and helpful staff for guidance. Advanced riders can explore ramps and rails. Taco Lake is also just a really pretty green place to spend the day, even if you aren’t into wakeboarding.

Bungee Jumping in Pattaya at XBungy

Just a 2-hour drive to the neighboring seaside city of Pattaya will give you a bungee in Thailand experience you will never forget. Take the leap of faith from a crane platform 60 meters above a lake for the ultimate adrenaline rush. Free-falling before the bungee cord propels you back up is a heart-pounding experience that will never forget.
