Go-Karting in Bangkok

Renowned as Bangkok’s best go-karting venue, Easy Kart in RCA Plaza is a ‘must-visit’ highlight for the young and the young at heart touring Thailand’s vibrant capital city. Occupying the RCA (Royal City Avenue) Plaza’s second floor, this engaging attraction for families and adventurous travellers is open from 1 in the afternoon till midnight. The indoor race track at Easy Kart has the honour of housing the city’s largest indoor tracks while the venue is also known for offering karts that suit various experience levels and ages.

Affordable and easily accessible, Easy Kart Bangkok also offers visitors multi-track race tickets at slashed rates that are valid up to three months from the date of purchase. The three main varieties of karts on offer at the locale include the Junior Kart that is predominantly used by children and packs in a 100cc engine. Kids of seven years and older use this kart while the two remaining engine sizes include 160cc karts and 270cc vehicles. Suitable for all adults, the selection of a kart based on its engine size is largely dependent upon the rider’s skill and experience level. The 270cc travels at a whopping 60km an hour and inexperienced riders will find it difficult to navigate the tracks on this ‘demon of a machine’ if they lack the skills and speed practice the drive requires! Each kart race comprises of an 8 minute dash that can be challenging as well as exhilarating while the site also provides racing overalls and helmets as well as other prerequisites for the ticket price with no additional charge.

The indoor track here is a rather challenging one with a wide track that can accommodate a number of vehicles and sharp corners that must be negotiated with precision to avoid collision. The lengthy, straight portion of the track is when most riders let loose and try to achieve maximum speeds. Those who wish to have the track all to themselves for a private showdown should visit the venue on weekdays when it is less crowded and novices can practice their turns and gears. The weekend is ideal for karting enthusiasts that love to race other riders and put their mettle to the test.
