Suan Luang Backyard

Suan Luang Backyard is the one Mattias pushes hardest out of the three. 'A must check if you're in Bangkok and love skating transition – it's a really unique place.' And he's not wrong to lead with that. What Rainny has built in his backyard is genuinely something else: super smooth concrete, vert walls, flowing transitions, bowl sections, a spine and pool coping that all connect into one continuous skate-utopia. The park draws comparisons with Pizzey Park on the Gold Coast and was built with the kind of pure passion that no budget can manufacture.

The catch is that it's a private spot, so showing up unannounced isn't really the move. That said, the owner Rainny is, by all accounts, 'extremely nice and welcoming' – the kind of host who treats every skater like family, whether you're a local regular or just passing through Bangkok for a week. Entry is free, the lights stay on until close and if you need a place to crash, word is you can message Rainny directly and he'll sort you out. The vibe here runs on community and the straightforward belief that skating should be accessible to everyone.
