You can catch Muai Thai boxing at Lumphini Stadium on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On arrival at the stadium you're immediately confronted by the obligatory gaggle of people trying to get you into the stadium. They're easily recognised by their bright coloured bibs. They'll explain the pricing structure and, if you ask them nicely, will give you a quick glimpse of the arena so you can see where your ticket will land you.
There is a dual pricing structure with tourists paying twice as much as the locals. But, as local prices are displayed only in Thai, you are pretty much stuck with paying the tourist price.

OK, it's ugly. One of the young boxers the night we went was knocked out badly for example. But it is also quite typichal thai sport and you SHOULD go to a thai boxing event. We went to Ratchadamnoen Stadium and there was a big crowd of almost only thai people who betted on the games and made a whole lot of noices.
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.

Thai kickboxing (Muay Thai) is very popular and quite entertaining if you like spectacular sports. In Bangkok, there are two stadium which held matches every evening at 17 and 21. Mon, Wed, Fri, Su at Rajdumnan Stadium; Tue, Thu, Sat at Lumpini Stadium. Both stadiums are at the city centre and easily accessible.
Fact-pacing martial art and spectacular sport.

Get ring side tix so you see all the action. You'll also have more room to breathe. The other seats are cramped.

This is proper boxing, none of that overhyped WBC rubbish. A good night out, get there about halfway through when the proper fights start.
