Kathus Shooting Range is top-notch! Safe, well-maintained, and professionally managed. Perfect for beginners and experienced shooters alike. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, making every visit fun, exciting, and memorable. Highly recommend for shooting enthusiasts!
Bandar Khan
Tried the shooting range — it was a cool experience overall. I went for the basic package: 10 shots for 1,050 THB. Staff were decent, and the place felt safe and organized. Not something I’d do all the time, but it’s worth trying once if you’ve never done it before. A bit pricey for just 10 rounds, but still a fun change of pace.

Ear muff is a must or else you can go deaf! The shooting was good experience however it is pricey 💯 Maybe you can find a cheaper alternative near other area or night market. The staff were good and explain on how to hold and aim the gun. It was a pretty good experience.
