I wasn’t sure if this is belong to nightlife or sports, but snooker is very popular in Thailand and they have even famous professional player, James Wattana who even manage to hit once or twice the maximum break.

Explore Sea Caves Near Phuket

by AlbuqRay

Many of the small limestone islands northeast of Phuket in Phang Nga Bay have caves that are accessible at low tide. They were made famous by a James Bond movie.There are many variations to the caves. Some have short entrances and large open centers. Others, like Bat Cave on Ko Panak, are long and dark with swift currents. Either way, it's like entering another world.Each sea kayak has a guide to paddle and tell you when to duck. Sometimes you must even lie down because the openings are so low. The islands are sunken in the middle and open up to the sky. You will need to protect your camera from a possible dunking.See my Thailand travelogue on Explore Sea Caves Near Phuket for more information and pictures. There are companies that furnish all the equipment, take you out to the islands and guide you through the caves. One of the best is Sea Cave Canoes, a relatively new Thai-owned...

Cycling in Thailand

by goo_stewart

Cycle touring in Thailand As little as possible - its hot as hell out there and you don't want to be weighed down by panniers bursting with stuff you won't use. Change of clothes, maybe some jeans and a bike repair kit is all you need. Keep it light folks. You can find everything else you need on the road.Also leave your guide books at home. Take a good quality map but leave your guides alone, they mostly won't cover your touring stops anyway.

Hankering for a workout in BKK?

by skullcrusher

If you are like me, then you are often in the mood to throw some weights around. I'm happy to say that Bangkok now has several good, quality gyms where you can get an excellent round of exercise. Here are the websites of two great healthclub franchises:www.californiawowx.comwww.fitnessfirst.co.thThese places aren't cheap, but if you want good facilities with air-conditioning they are great options if you can afford it. There are quite a few other healthclubs throughout the city. If you want to get your muscles pumping on the cheap then there is a gym located in Lumpini Park that (last time I checked) only charges 20 Baht per day. The gym is outdoors, so the often intense heat can often be very hard to handle.

Thai Boxing

by Jschukal

Check out a Thai boxing match, it is a very intense and surreal sport. It is quite an experience. This match was in a stadium in Koh Samui, these guys pounded the hell out of each other and the crowd went nuts. They play some crazy music at these matches as well.

Scuba Diving

by Jschukal

I dove in two locations off of Koh Samui, the island of Koh Tau and marinepark. Koh Tau was a better dive, much more clear and better coral and marine life. I suggest asking for a smaller boat, they get you out and back quick. The boat in the picture took about 3 hours each way versus 45 minutes in a speedboat. I booked through Dive in Deep, they were pretty cool and have everything you need. It is more of a hassle to bring your own gear this far so I suggest renting. Just bring a shorty, the water is so warm.

Scuba Diving in Sattahip, Thailand

Sailing in Sattahip, Thailand

by NeverGrowOld

Sattahip is not a place for tourists. It's land of Thai Navy. Luckily, my friend, Wan, got some connection and I had a chance to be there and enjoy my trip.One thing I like best in Sattahip is its' primitiveness. Putting hands under sand and lifting it up water surface slowly...can you imagine...you would see many tiny sea snails scrabbling on fours on your palms. Oh, I do like that feeling!When we arrived, all were well prepared and ready for a wonderful sea sport tour. First was a sailing trip with a member of Thailand national sailing team. He could not speak English, but looked sporty and was very helpful. You could see how lucky I was already, couldn't you? For sailing, of course what you need to prepare is a sailing boat
