Understanding the Court
With the court size that is comparatively more compact rather than tennis' encouraging quick reflexes and strategic play. By understanding the court areas can help you maneuver the space agilely.
- Non-Volley Zone (The Kitchen): The area within 7 feet of the net on both sides is known as the non-volley zone, or "the kitchen." Players aren’t allowed to volley (hit the ball in the air before it bounces) while standing in this zone. This rule adds a strategic element, as it prevents players from dominating the net and encourages more rallies.
- Service Areas: The court is divided into left and right service areas. When serving, the player must stand behind the baseline and serve diagonally into the opposite service area. The serve must clear the net and land within the boundaries of the opposing service box to be valid.
Fun Tip: Think of the kitchen area as a "no-fry zone"—if you get too close, you might get burned! Staying just outside this area will help you keep control of the game while avoiding any “fried” mistakes (I'm starting to joke like my dad)...

Gay Men's Health in Bangkok
PULSE Clinic is a private clinic whose mission is to promote and provide excellence in standards of care and education. Our focus is to improve the quality of people's well-being, with the aim of normalizing sexual health awareness and reducing the HIV disease burden across the region. Our ultimate goal is to make more people aware of their status by promoting the benefits of testing, prevention, treatment, and continuous care.
Over the past 9 years, we have been providing quality care to over 100,000 clients globally. After our first years in business, we realized that HIV and sexual health are due to stigma and a judgmental environment. We came to the understanding that there was a huge demand for not only MSM to have access to a safe and discreet sexual health clinic, but there was a need from all people. Because of this, we expanded our services to more locations in Thailand and internationally to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines. Pulse looks to continue to expand throughout Asia, as it is one of the biggest hubs of international travel.
We remain committed to being a leading international organization in comprehensive modern sexual health and global research initiatives while facilitating a non-judgmental environment. PULSE wants to encourage and empower people to live healthy, happy, and be proud of their sexual lifestyle.
