Muay Thai Stadiums

Lumpinee Stadium



Lumpini Stadium, located to the east of Lumpini Park on Rama IV Road, is one of Bangkok's major boxing stadiums. Bouts at Lumpini are held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6.00 pm, and twice on Saturdays at 5.00 pm and 8.30 pm. It is easy to tell when a fight is in progress by the hundreds of motorcycles parked outside on the road. Ticket prices vary according to the seating and are astronomically more expensive for foreigners.

Rajadamnoen Stadium

The Ratchadamnoen Boxing Stadium on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue near the TAT office is another major boxing stadium in Bangkok. They hold bouts 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. There are also practice bouts held at 2.00 pm on Sundays. Tickets vary in price depending on the seating. And as at Lumpinee foreigners are expected to subsidise the event through high ticket prices. The area in the immediate vicinity of Ratchadamnoen Stadium has some of the city's best Isaan (northeastern) food, with popular dishes such as 'som tam' (spicy papaya salad) and 'kai yang' (grilled chicken).

Samrong stadium

The smaller Samrong stadium is in Samut Prakan province, just east of Bangna District in Bangkok. Bouts are held on Sundays and Fridays at 8.30 pm. The cards here are generally smaller than the main stadiums at Rajadamnoen and Lumpinee.search this site
