A Professional Elephant Polo tournament takes place once a year... :D

There's water buffalo racing in Petchaburi once a year... :D

Dragon Boat Races in Kao Tao annually... :D

About twice a year there is a pro tennis exhibition match with big international stars.

Black Mountain Golf Course is an Asian Tour stop.

Muay Thai matches weekly!

What more could you ask for in sports? Hua Hin is a regular sporting hub! :P

I have played them all, but not lately as I had to give up the game a couple of years ago. There is a dedicated golf thread on here that will give you all the golfing information you want though ( http://huahinforum.com/viewforum.php?f=45 ). There are nine courses in and close to Hua Hin (eleven if you count the Pranburi military course and Sawang to the north) including the oldest course in Thailand that is located in the center of town. There are many more a bit further afield but these eleven are easily accessible in a day's outing including getting there, playing 18 holes, some after golf socializing and getting back to the center of town. There are booking and transport services if you don't have your own wheels.
