The city of Bangkok offers a plethora of opportunities for tourists interested in sightseeing, shopping and indulging in some of Asia’s finest cuisine whilst relaxing at a luxurious Boutique Hotel in Bangkok, much like the Maitria Hotel Sukhumvit 18, known for its chic interior and varied dining options. Nevertheless, after a few hours in the famous sweltering humidity of the city, most people, especially those with children, will eventually find their way to Flow House Bangkok, a beach club with an artificial wave machine.
Located in the heart of the city, surrounded by shopping arcades, markets and offices, is Flow House Bangkok, a popular urban beach club that brings all the fun and amusement of the beach right into the city. An artificial wave machine and ramp mimics thrilling ocean waves, providing plenty of opportunity for water sport enthusiasts. “Flow riding” as it’s commonly known, is a combination of wakeboarding and surfing on an inflatable ramp which has water pumped over it to mimic a ceaseless breaking wave.
Surfing or wakeboarding pros will have no trouble getting used to the wave and experimenting with tricks, and even beginners, including children, can jump straight in with a body board. Experienced Staff are always on hand and will guide new comers with a rope to start with, and offer advice to help correct posture, balance and give general encouragement to beginners.
There’s room on the ramp for groups of up to seven to ride the wave at once, which can include riders of varying experience. The entire club has an easygoing atmosphere with people of all ages welcome to try out the waves. Along with the ramp, there’s also great food and drinks available and plenty of chilled out corners to settle back and sip on a chilled beer under the Bangkok sun.
