::Muay Thai::

You might have heard about it, or even seen it on TV—the furious punches, crushing elbow strikes, lethal kicks, powerful grappling and artful feints. But nothing compares to seeing them executed to loud cheers and heart-racing tune of an accompanying wind-and-percussion ensemble. Welcome to the exciting world of Muay Thai, a martial art like no others, and a proud heritage of a nation.

Most provincial capitals have a boxing ring, but the ultimate dream of young boxers is to fight at Lumpini or Ratchadamnoen, the biggest and most famous stadiums in the country. Lumpini and Ratchadamnoen alternate, so there is a fight program every night. Tickets on an average evening are 220, 440 and 1,000 baht, but on big nights prices of ringside seats may go up to 2,000 baht.

With nearly 200 golf courses, with the majority being located in the most popular tourist destinations - Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Phuket, Chiang Mai -  golf in Thailand has been one of Asia's best kept secret. Many has been designed by famous professionals like Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Gary Player, Greg Norman, Pete Dye and Robert Trent Jones to name a few.

Wherever you play you will find superbly maintained and manicured courses, with impressive Clubhouses offering excellent facilities. On the course, beckoning drinks huts are strategically located every three or four holes. Try a cooling glass of the good, locally brewed beer - it slides down very well.

With the local community still going about their daily chores and living their lives as they normally would in rural Thailand, the village provides a natural and perfect backdrop for the Thai Village Cultural Show. Visitors and guests are presented with a rare opportunity to witness and experience Thai ways in a natural setting. The show is performed daily from 14.45 to 16.00.

::The Ancient City::

Taking up 320 acres of land, roughly in the shape of Thailand, the huge park reproduces -- usually on a smaller scale -- important buildings from around Thailand.
There are over 100 monuments collected or reproduced. Some of them are reconstruction’s of buildings that no longer exist.
Other buildings are examples of traditional vernacular architecture that were scheduled to be demolished and instead were purchased by the Ancient City, dismantled and reconstructed in the park. Many of the buildings represent religious and royal sites from around Thailand as well as from the past.
A visit to the Ancient City makes an excellent, although potentially exhausting, full day outing from Bangkok.
Be sure to start early and allow yourself the better part of a day to see everything.
The Ancient City is located on the old Sukhumvit road. Its not far from the Crocodile Farm, which is a better known attraction.
Admission is 50 Baht for adults -- little more than US$1. Another 50 Baht is charged to bring in your own car. The Ancient City is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
