RK69 DIY Skatepark 101%

RK69 earns its place with smooth ground, concrete obstacles and a setup that feels thoughtful without being overthought. It's more traditional in its layout than some of the other spots on this list, but that's not a knock – there's something solid about a DIY that knows what it wants to be.

Sitting at Bangkok's southeast end, the whole thing sits under an elevated highway, which does two things: gives it that raw, urban underpass atmosphere that DIY spots thrive on and keeps the midday sun off your back. That shade matters more than it sounds!

The mix of street features and transition – banks, vertical walls, quarters and arched grind rails – makes it well rounded in a way that most spots aren't and the local feel keeps it grounded. 'A super cool DIY with a nice local feel,' is how Mattias sums it up. Local vendors post up outside with drinks and the lights mean the session doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down. 

One heads up though: no public bathrooms on site, so if you’re in it for a while, plan ahead – the nearest spot is Bangchak Gas Station on Sukhumvit 77 Rd, about an 11-minute walk away.

3 Patthanakan Rd, Prawet, Prawet, Bangkok 10250. Open daily, 24 hours (floodlit). Free entry.
