Popular Sports in Thailand

Thailand’s national sport is kick boxing, and it’s a sport that is easily associated with this country. Thai boxing differs from other types of boxing because it uses eight points of contact, as opposed to the traditional two in Western boxing and four in other martial arts. It is for this reason that the sport is also known as the Art of the Eight Limbs This type of boxing involves the spiritual side of combatants in a more obvious way than most other sports, and it also requires a great deal of strength, endurance and flexibility.

Golf in Thailand saw a huge boom in the 1990s. It is for that reason that today we see many world class courses in this country, with some of the most inexpensive green fees worldwide.

Thailand’s varied geography, with level plains, rolling hills and dense forests, makes biking a remarkable experience. Biking during the dry season is most preferable, but some favor to tour just after a monsoon, which brings cooler temperatures and less bright sunlight. Thailand is easy to get around on a bicycle, including visits past beautiful architectural monuments, and to Thailand’s many national parks.
