💬 HONEST ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK

Common Concerns

About 1 min read · 8 questions

Why does go-karting cost more than some other activities?

A karting session includes the use of a maintained racing kart, a dedicated track, safety equipment, track marshals, professional timing and operational safety systems. Higher-performance karts also require more specialized maintenance and running costs.

Is EasyKart worth the price?

That depends on what you are looking for. EasyKart offers a timed, supervised racing experience on purpose-built tracks rather than a simple amusement ride. It is designed for guests who value competition, driving and a memorable shared activity.

Is 8 minutes enough for a race?

Eight minutes provides multiple timed laps and is physically more demanding than it may appear. Drivers who want more track time can choose multi-race packages.

Why does Fast Kart cost more?

Fast Kart delivers higher performance and require more specialized equipment, maintenance and operational controls than standard kart categories.

Why are there age and height restrictions?

Restrictions help ensure that drivers can reach and control the pedals, fit the kart correctly and handle the performance level safely.

What if I am slower than everyone else?

That is not a problem. First-time drivers can progress at their own pace while following the safety rules. The objective can be personal improvement rather than winning the session.

Is go-karting scary for beginners?

It can feel exciting at first, but the controls are simple and the briefing explains what to expect. Beginners can start progressively and choose an appropriate kart category.

What happens if the weather is bad?

EasyKart Bangkok (RCA Plaza) is indoor. EasyKart Koh Samui (Chaweng Lake), EasyKart Pattaya (Bali Hai Pier) and EasyKart Pattaya (Thepprasit) are outdoor, so weather can affect operations. Contact the relevant track before travelling when conditions are uncertain.
