A little about sports gambling popularity

The culture, therefore, the national sport of Thailand is full of unusual for the travelers, but enormously interesting types of sports.
The main and the most widespread among them seems to be Thai boxing. The sport was introduced in the sixteenth century for self-defense in times of war. It differs from other martial arts in that you can fight with everything you can, including knees, elbows, shoulders and feet, and that’s why the name muay Thai also translates to “free boxing”. This is a national martial art of high significance there, that’s why many Thais practice it. You can find a heap of competitions set just outside. You can watch it live in any city in Thailand and easily gamble on it. The range of bets is usually simple, like on the outcome, the winner, the injuries, etc. Thus, according to rough estimates, more than 120 thousand people are engaged in it alone (like a hobby), and more than 10 thousand Thais have reached the professional level in it. There is no wonder why Thai athletes are often leaders in boxing championships and world rankings.

Kite fighting is more of a fun and competitive activity also popular there, it has been popular in Thailand since ancient times. For gaming kites are made in different colors and shapes, but they are always large in size. The principal goal of participants is to make the kite fall in the territory of the competitors. Every mid-March, Thailand’s International Kite Festival “Coloring the Sky” is held in Bangkok, which is the main event of the year, therefore you must attend it to watch and gamble on the best of the best.
Both traditional Thai and many Western sports are cultivated in the country. Also ordinary boxing, taekwondo and weightlifting are well-known there as well as tennis, badminton, football, volleyball and billiards.

What to know before betting on traditional Thai sports?

You must acknowledge that these disciplines are quite different from the most widespread ones, so in order to be successful you have to study the rules, particularities as well as keep an eye on the competitions. Don’t be afraid of trying, but watch from the sidelines at least for once to catch the game. Here there is no need to search for amy stats, because you will not find it, but keep analyzing the participants and believe in your intuition.

All in all, are tourism and sports betting connected? How?

For sure, they are. Each of them influence the development of the other.
