Felem DIY – Bangkok, Thailand

Tsuyoshi from Felem Skates from Japan went to Bangkok a few months ago week with his friends Shou and Haruki (Gashon) to build a skate spot. Unfortunately, right when they arrived an early season monsoon stormed through the area. Never mind… the sun’s heat after the rain is intense and dries everything up so they can build in the evening.

Update June 16th, 2013:
The bowl is done!

The bowl is private, but if you want the chance to skate go to Nagiya restaurant and ask the owner for the location!

Trying to keep the spot dry so they can continue to build!

Ready to work in the evening after the rain stops!

After the heavy rain the heat turned on so they could finish the quarter and the flat bottom.

  1. What’s up. I live in Portland and just got a ticket to visit Thailand in Nov. The pictures of this spot look fukin sick and I wanna skate it when I’m there if possible. Please email me and I hope we can shred!

  2. PLEASE KEEP BUILDING EVERYWHERE!
    after a morning of seeing videos of Brazilian people chanting “No Violence” while being shot with rubber bullets, and photographs of Turkish police adding pepper spray to water canons, it does my soul good to see positive actions in the world too.
    Keep building, keep learning, keep living free.
