The Rink at Central World is a popular ice skating venue located on the 2nd floor of the massive Central World shopping mall in Pathum Wan, Bangkok. It provides a unique opportunity to ice skate in a tropical city, making it a fun activity for families, couples, and groups of friends. The rink is Olympic-sized and well-maintained, with a glass wall that allows shoppers to watch skaters below. The atmosphere is lively, with music and occasional events. While it may not have the charm of outdoor rinks, its convenience in the heart of Bangkok's shopping district makes it a great break from sightseeing. Skates and lockers are available for rent, and lessons can be arranged for beginners.
