We are headed to the enchanting land of Thailand, a country bursting with vibrant culture, captivating history, and breathtaking landscapes. Nestled in the heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand is a realm where tradition meets modernity, and natural wonders embrace bustling cityscapes.

Thailand sports play a major part in the life of every local. Thai’s enjoy both traditional and indigenous games as well as modern games. Muay Thai, a traditional martial art, is deeply ingrained in Thai culture and has evolved into the national sport.

As the sun dips below the horizon, Muay Thai takes center stage with training centers and local matches offering an authentic experience on any night of the week.

Golf is also a very popular Thai sport, along with badminton, football, boxing, snooker, tennis and bowling.

Our adventure begins in Bangkok and our partnership with Oceanman will take us to Phuket, the largest island in the country and a magnet for adventure-seekers. This island paradise isn't just about pristine beaches and turquoise waters; it's a vibrant playground for athletes and sports enthusiasts alike.

The plethora of water sports options to choose from include swimming, diving, snorkeling, surfing and kayaking to name a few.

Athletes from all over the world will gather together for the Oceanman World Finals this November! Living Sport will be there offering our assistance in putting together this world class event.
