 Thai boxing at Ratchadamnoen
Stadium by Rojo72
This is supposed to be a more genuine "thai" boxing arena than some of the others that are more for tourists. Bouts are held on Mondays at 5.00 and 9.00 pm, Wednesdays at 6.00 pm, Thursdays at 6.00 pm, and Sundays at 5.00 pm.
It was also here I met an old thai man who wanted to try his english skills. We ended up talking about the group of death in the 2002 World Cup of Soccer in Korea/Japan. Leave a Comment Address: Ratchadamnoen StadiumDirections: Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue

 Muay Thai, Lumpini Stadium,
Bangkok by Rodan44
In Muay Thai, there are five three-minute rounds with two-minute breaks in between, and every fight is preceeded by a symbolic dance by both fighters to pay homage to their teachers. Fights are accompanied by live music played by a ringside band with traditional instruments.
I attended a program at Lumpini in January 2005 that included 8 fights (although we missed the first 2). Ticket prices had just been raised (at least for tourists), so ringside seats were 1500 Baht and second level were 800 Baht. We opted for second level, which turned out to be right behind the ringside section, still very close to the action. The fights were fast and furious, with 3 ending in a knockout. Although it was quite expensive, it was definitely worth the experience.

Its well worth taking a evening to watch the Mauy Thai its a form of kickboxing and features boxers of all weights, as a foreign visitor you get priority seating and get to meet the fighters after .
Give yourself plenty of time to get there in the taxi as traffic is very heavy that time of evening Address: Lumpini staduimDirections: Edge of Lumpini Park

If you're in Thailand you should see a Muay Thai boxing match. I went at Lumpini stadion in Bangkok, which is a very big one.
Muay Thai is Thailand number one sport and the Thai people go berserk.
I myself am not a big boxing fan but this was still a highlight. The matches are done with many rituals and there is a live band playing traditional music.
The atmosphere is amasing. Leave a Comment

Ratchadamnoen is more of a "homely" stadium versus the larger Lumpini on Rama IV (The Wembley Stadium of Muay Thai), and thus has even more character. These friezes outside remind me of the stuff you get at Highbury and the classic Art Deco football grounds of England - that are now going by the bye. They also remind every would be gambler taxi driver that Muay started off as a technique to murder the whack out of Burmese and invading Cambodeans.
Tourists do pay a lot more than locals for seats - I'd suggest you don't waste your money on ringside at 1000 THB plus. Go for the terraces and sit with the locals.
Watch the fun and games of the illegal ringside gambling, with guys donning twenty plus mobile phones running undercover books. Best not to place a bet, the odds are incomprehensible. Believe me.
The stadium shop here is great for all things Muay - shorts, head gear, gloves, training equipments, books and videos. Though its only open when the fights are on.
