Songkran Smash is GPA at full throttle. Set in the heart of Bangkok during Thailand’s most iconic celebration, this tour blends padel, culture, chaos (the fun kind), and unforgettable shared moments. You’ll train and play padel by day, then dive into the city-wide water fights of Songkran by night — cruising the Chao Phraya, eating Bangkok’s best street food, and celebrating New Year the Thai way on Khao San and Silom Road.

This isn’t a padel camp. It’s a proper GPA experience. Expect top-level padel sessions, cultural immersion, wellness and recovery, jungle bike rides, rooftop dinners, and a social vibe that brings the group together from day one. Sport, travel, culture, and community — all dialled up in one of the world’s most electric cities, at the best possible time to be there.

Day 1

On arrival in Bangkok, meet your guide and check-in at the hotel. Take a minute to freshen up, or don’t worry about it as you’re about to have your first taste of Songkran. Be ready to get soaked! Together with your new padel friends, join the Kross Padel Club Songkran Party. Meet your coaches and join in with the local street party!

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast and only a short walk from your hotel, head back to Kross Padel for the start of your coaching program. Morning and afternoon sessions introduce you to your new home for the next week before you step into Bangkok’s buzzing streets for a mouth-watering street food adventure. Taste local favorites, soak up the night vibes, and enjoy dinner like a true local.

Day 3

No padel?? Correct! Today is the official Songkran day. Witness the traditional festivities of Thai New Year, explore the famous flower market Pakklong Talad and then hit Khao San Road where locals and travellers revel together for an evening of fun. Our friends need to protect their establishment from getting too wet and you’ll be there to support them!

Day 4

Now it’s time to hit the court again. With coaching sessions in the morning, lunch at the club or local restaurant and another afternoon session, hone your skills, drill your technique, learn the strategies to take your game to the next level. After a couple of hours rest, head to Silom with your group for what is a more local Songkran experience. The biggest water fight you’ll ever be a part of!

Day 5

Slower pace today…and needed! Free morning to recover, then some open time on court where you can challenge your new padel friends, or even some of the locals! After dinner, meet back at the hotel where we take you for a well deserved Thai massage to iron out all the aches and pains of the last few days.

Day 6

Explore Bang Krajao, the “Lungs of Bangkok” by bike. Winding paths through the lush green heart of the city. Active recovery before your tournament in the afternoon. Matched up to local players, it’s a fantastic way for you to pit yourself against new opponents and even more importantly, brings that community feel to the experience. After the tournament, head back to the hotel and prepare for your farewell dinner on a river cruise through Bangkok. A final opportunity to relax, reflect, and celebrate the journey you’ve shared with your fellow travelers, strengthening connections and ending the experience on a high note.

Day 7

Time to go! However before heading to the airport, there’s one last moment to treasure. Before setting off on your travels, you will be blessed by a group of Thai monks. The monks chant sacred prayers and offer blessings for good luck, safety, and a smooth journey ahead, providing a meaningful cultural and spiritual experience.

Group transfer to the airport, private transfers can also be arranged.

We hope you leave with many wonderful memories from your trip to Thailand and wish you a safe and pleasant journey ahead. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
