Where to Watch Muay Thai Fights in Bangkok, Thailand
Muay Thai is an ancient Thai martial art, originally developed for use in military combat. Today, it is a popular spectator sport, both in Thailand and overseas. Here are the best places to watch a thrilling Muay Thai fight in Bangkok.
1. New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium
Stadium, Sports Center
Fights here regularly feature the best names in the sport and it’s one of the top places to see some of Muay Thai’s most incredible and famous fighters. The atmosphere is highly charged and electric. Fights take place on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with the most elite competitors often taking to the ring on Tuesdays. Saturday fights start at 5pm, and matches begin at 6.30pm on other days. Ringside seats cost 2,000 THB, though there are also cheaper seats available in the upper tiers.
2. Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium
Stadium, Sports Center
Matches take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with fights on all days starting at 6pm. Sundays see the lower level boxers competing. Ringside seats cost 2,000 THB, but the higher level “second-class” seats are not only cheaper (1,500 THB) but also offer a better view of the action. Views can be obstructed from the cheapest (and highest) seats.
