Playerbox Siam Discovery

Bangkok's first air-conditioned go-kart track is up on the fourth floor of Siam Discovery, so you're indoors with climate control the whole time – which is nice when you remember what Bangkok feels like in the middle of the day. Playerbox does electric karting, but they've also got arcade games, VR setups and – this is quite fun – Mario Kart simulators where you sit in actual karts and play the game (up to six players simultaneously!).

The indoor E-Gokart track features Segway-Ninebot electric karts with two speed settings: a gentle kid-friendly mode and a max-speed adult mode, making it genuinely suitable for families. Eight-minute sessions cost around B350 for the standard 24 km/h speed.

Beyond karting, there's Digger Land (realistic mini excavators that kids absolutely lose their minds over), karaoke rooms and a game zone with PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and VR setups. Honestly, it's more of an entertainment complex than a pure karting venue, which makes it perfect for groups where not everyone's mad about racing – you can split up and reconvene after.
