 THAI BOXING STADIUM-Koh Samui. by mamasan69
The fights start at 9:00pm and go on until about 12:00am. The seat that I watched from was 500bht and I could see everything perfect. The beginning matches are between young boys (the first ones couldn't have been older than 6-8) and then it moves up in weight class to the final, higher ranked bouts.
Most of the matches I saw were good, but the final bout saw the Thailand south champion defeat a Japanese champ, the crowd was going crazy. It was short but good fight, as it ended with a KO in the second round.
It is a good night out as long as you don't mind watching this kind of thing. If you care to drink while you are in the Stadium, there is a bar located in the corner. I found this activity to be exciting and fun to experience, due in part to my martial arts/ boxing backround when I was young.

A typical Thai experiance but it can be a little brutal. The fights start around 9.00pm in the Chaweng Stadium and seats cost from 800-1100 bahts for ringside seats and tables. Fights are usually held twice a week on Mondays and Fridays and lasts for about three hours. Just listen out for the announcements from the cars during the day around town.
The Muay Thai boxers start off generally quite young, the youngest being maybe 9 or 10. There were about 10 fights in all and the match is preceded by a wai khru dance performed by the contestants.
Chaweng Stadium is just along from the lake and the Reggae Pub. Ladies be prepared as it is quite seedy and I would not really recommend using the loos if you can avoid it... Worth going to for the experiance but I'm not sure I would go again.

 MUAY THAI-Koh Samui by mamasan69
Again I sat in the 500bht seats and was able to see the action no problem. The 1000bht seats are more comfortable but are further away from the ring. The 750bht seats are right near the ring but are only about 3 feet ahead of the 500bht ones.
This time before the start of the matches, a short video is shown explaining the rules, fighting techniques, and some history. This is especially good for first time visitors to a Thai boxing match.

 Muay Thai at Chaweng Stadium by Jez79
If you're interested in martial arts, then a night at the local staduim watching the Muay Thai is worthwhile. There is regualrly local fights, and often international title fights. The quality of the fights varies, but it's pretty amazing to see local fighters of about 16 years who have had over 100 fights! All the Thai fighters begin with the Wai-Kuru ritual, a boxing dance to pay respect to the king or the chairman of the tournament, and demonstrate the excellence of the master/teacher. The fights themselves vary between 3 and 5 rounds.
Chaweng Staduim (Tuesday's nd Friday's)offers decent seating, good, cold beer, and costs about 500 Baht. My only complaint was the somewhat irritating sound of the Pi Chawa (Java Pipe), part of the traditional live music that accompanies thai fights (it was very loud!).
There are also fights at Lamai on Wednesday's and Saturday's. Leave a Comment
