Chess in Bangkok

All chess listings in Bangkok

The full list: 86 listings, 82 of them active or still awaiting confirmation. They are grouped as on the home page, and a listing that fits several groups appears in each of them.

Listings whose chess ended or moved are kept at the end, with their dates. To add a listing or correct one, use the form; reports are applied at the next update of the list.

✓ marks chess a source confirmed on the date shown, → a date announced ahead or a move elsewhere, ? no recent confirmation, and × chess that has ended.

Tournaments and competitions

Recurring events you can enter: rated and rapid tournaments, junior events and open championships. The date shows the latest edition a source confirmed, or the next one already announced.

Academies and coaches

Chess schools and private teachers that take new students. Fees, ages and class sizes appear only where the academy or coach publishes them.

Members-only and school programmes

Chess inside schools, universities and private clubs. They are listed so you know they exist, but they take only their own pupils, students or members.

Places to sit down and play

Venues where a visitor can find a board: cafés and pubs with sets, and clubs that welcome guests. Check the date on each listing before you go.

Chess for children

Classes, junior tournaments and clubs that a source says are open to children. Ages and fees are shown where the organiser states them.

Cafés and bars with boards

Board-game cafés and bars where a source mentions chess. Some keep sets on the shelf, others host a set evening; the listing says which when a source does.

The wider chess scene

Federations, associations, social groups and the organisers behind recurring events. Follow them to hear about the next tournament or meet-up before the list is next updated.

Chess sets and equipment

Shops, academies and cafés whose sources show chess sets, boards or clocks for sale. Prices and stock are the seller's to state; we do not compare them.

Closed or moved away

Listings whose chess ended or moved elsewhere. They stay on the list with their dates, so an old link or a stale tip can be checked against them.
