Other sports in Hua Hin

There are numerous other sports and activities you can do in and around Hua Hin. Not all of them are organized or have clubs so there are plenty of opportunities to form them.

Paintball

A new paintball arena called "Splat Combat" has opened up next to Condochain on Petchkasem Road, they cater for individual and corportate events wanting to get splattered!

Ten Pin Bowling

With the arrival of Hua Hin Market Village came the long awaited bowling alley on the third floor.

Shooting

A number of military operated shooting ranges are available for public use around town, they are usually located a few kilometers out. There is a Hua Hin Shooting Association located at the end of the canal road see their website for more details www.huahinshooting.com (Thai only). A larger place can be found in Prachuab where you can shoot at targets with hand guns and rifles and Thanarat in Pranburi is open to the public, its best to take a Thai though as explaining what you want to a man with a gun could get tricky! They also have an adventure obstacle course here.

Scuba Diving

There is no available scuba diving in Hua Hin, vizibility is rarely more than a couple of meters and the bottom is mud and sand with no coral growth and very little else to see. The nearest place to dive is Koh Talu off the coast of Bang Saphan, two hours south. More information here: Bang Saphan Guide and Koh Talu Diving

Dragon Boat Racing

The annual event is held on the Pranburi river in Paknampran although this year we have an interesting twist, a farang team is being trained up to take part. They meet up at Mermaid's marina every Sunday at 1pm to train and are always looking for new members, race day is November 3rd.
