Professional racing and flight simulation at Boat Lagoon Marina.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Ever wondered how fast you&#8217;d really be? At Simpro Academy Phuket you find out.<\/p>\r\n<p>Slide into a professional-grade racing rig &#8211; direct-drive wheel, load-cell pedals, triple curved screens &#8211; and take a real circuit at real speed, with an instructor reading your telemetry beside you. Or take the controls of a full flight simulator, VR headset on and the cockpit lit up around you, and fly a commercial jet.<\/p>\r\n<p>This isn&#8217;t an arcade. Every 60-minute session is structured: a briefing, a 45 minutes of driving or flying, then a debrief where the data shows exactly where you gained and lost time. Beginners are welcome &#8211; everyone starts somewhere &#8211; and regulars keep coming back to chase their own lap times. Sessions are THB 1,300, and you&#8217;ll see the difference from one to the next.<\/p>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s built for solo drivers, couples, groups and corporate teams who want a genuinely different day out &#8211; hands-on, competitive and a lot of fun.<\/p>\r\n<p>And because Simpro sits right inside Soho Pool Club, the pool, the kitchen and the sauna are all a few steps away for when the racing&#8217;s done.<\/p>\r\n<p>Founded by Paul Chappell, a career airline captain and flight instructor, Simpro brings real cockpit-and-circuit credibility to Boat Lagoon. Open daily, 9am to 9pm.<\/p>\r\n<p>Come for the racing. Stay for the community.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Gallery<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
