Thai Boxing(Muay Thai):  There is perhaps no sport more associated with Thailand than kick-boxing, or muay Thai as it's known in Thai.

Deep sea fishing; Phuket Deep Sea Fishing: It might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but there is excellent fishing to be had in the Andaman sea.

Diving; Phuket Diving  Offers a variety of scuba tours, including live-aboard options.

Golfing: Golf was "the" game for the newly affluent middle class in the boom years of the 1990's. No self-respecting business man was without his set of clubs and memberships. Things have cooled down a bit, but there are still all those courses, some of them world class, and with some of the cheapest green fees in the world. Thailand was a mecca of sorts for golfers from around Asia seeking out good courses for a fair price.
