 Hey Get in the Ring!! by Jmill42
There are 3 different levels of seating and cost. The nosebleed, the middle and ringside. I got the middle priced, and it was absolutely fine. You have to sit behind a chain link fence, but that kind of adds to its hard-core appeal! Cost for the mid-level seats were about 400 Baht.
For that, you get 10 matches!! Each about 3 rounds, unless you get a knock out... which I did. Stretcher and everything.
There are two stadiums, but I went to the Ratchadamnoen Stadium. It has all the feel of Bangkok. You will see what I mean when you are waiting outside for a few minutes to finish your drink and there are 100's of shady looking Thai characters around. ALL of them gamble inside, and the action in the stands is almost as entertaining as the fight within the ring!

 Thai Boxers, Ratchadamnoen
Stadium, Bangkok by joecooper, 2 more photos
The program covers differing weights and skills of fighters although all the men are highly fit and have muscles in places you wouldn't think possible! Before the fighting commences both fighters circle the ring in a ceremonial dance and kneel down to pray. There is also a musical group of which drums a hypnotic beat throughout the fight. If, like us, you are not a fan of violence, I urge you to attend anyway - this is such an important part of Thai culture and tradition. Although the sport has a brutal image the fighters have nothing but total respect for each other and it is rare for kicks to go above shoulder height.

No trip to Thailand by a sports fan could be complete without finding some kickboxing.
There are two main venues for Muay Thai in Bangkok. We decided to go to Lumphini stadium - it was closer and easier to pronounce than the other one! The taxi driver however couldn't work out where we were going, even when we pointed it out on a map. I finally had to resort to doing some shadow boxing to show him what we wanted. "Ahhh! Looompeeni!" he exclaimed in joy, and off we went.
Don't bother getting a ringside seat - for a lot less money you can go two sections back and only be a couple of rows behind the expensive seats. For a real experience, go into the section where the locals are betting and get caught up in the excitement.
Do try and find out beforehand when the best night to go is, or you risk turning up on a night when the younger and lesser boxers are fighting and the skill level isn't as high. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingDirections: Just take a taxi - they all know how to get there.

 Oww....not there. by UnknownsuLeave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

This is the national sport of Thailand. In Bangkok, matches are held in either of 2 arenas. Best to check times and matches as you really would want to see only the top fighters. Muay Thai is a combination of boxing and kick-boxing. Its fast and furious and there are generally 3-5 rounds of 2 minutes each. Fighters use their fists, elbows, knees and feet to pummel their opponents. Winner usually is by knockout.
None. Simply the body as explained. One can match pro matches are even study in one of many institutes that specialize in the training of this sport. Theme: Other
