Thai sports

Sports activities are a popular form of entertainment in Thailand and are enjoyed by all age groups.

This traditional Thai martial art focuses on hand-held weapons techniques in conjunction with Thai boxing techniques. Displays can be seen at festivals and tourist venues.



Sepak Takraw 

Another sport indigenous to Thailand is Sepak Takraw, a different form of volleyball played with the feet and a light ball. There are several versions of the game with different rules. In the south of Thailand the game is played with a net. Only the feet and head are permitted to touch the ball.
