For future reference, there is not a climbing wall in Bangkok anymore. The only decent one has now closed down. That just leaves the really poor top ropping wall in the mall. Think Milton Keynes wall..... Only worse.

Ok!! On to a serious note of walls. This year has seen many changes in the Big Mango. BRC'S bouldering closed down. Pro-climber moved, so they haven't built a new bouldering as yet. The Seri centre bouldering wall also closed down last year. This now means there are no bouldering walls in Bangkok.
Roped Walls - There are now only two roped walls in Bangkok. The first and the best is at Hua Maak stadium next to RAMKENHENG UNIVERSITY (Free to use). Its a 15 metre EP wall over hanging by 15 degrees. Its built outside, so if its rainning it can't be used. Most evening's there are people climbing there. So you don't have to bring a rope or draws.
Imperial World, Big-C on Lad Prow Road - has a 10 metre roped wall inside. There are top ropes on the wall but there are also draws there if you wish to lead. Its 100 baht per time to use, thats about one pound fifty. Its open everyday.
