Muay Thai Stadiums in Bangkok
As can be expected, the most important Thai boxing stadiums can be found in the capital city of Thailand, Bangkok. While there are at least 9 Thai boxing venues that present the events of Muay Thai in Bangkok, the oldest and most prestigious stadiums in the city are two:
- Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium
- Lumpinee Boxing Stadium
Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium is the oldest Muay Thai stadium in Bangkok and the second largest boxing stadium in Thailand. It is also the most popular Thai boxing stadium, as there are Muay Thai fight events every night and the stadium is situated very close to the old city and Khao San Road, making it more accessible for tourists.
To ensure your visit to the oldest Muay Thai venue in the city, you need to book tickets to Rajadamnern Stadium.
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is another important Muay Thai stadium in Bangkok, where all professional fighters aspire to fight one day. Operated by the Thai Army, the stadium is located outside the city center, close to Don Muang Airport. Currently, Muay Thai fight events at this boxing stadium take place on Fridays and Saturdays, so it can only be visited if a weekend in Bangkok is part of your Thailand trip plan.
To see the highest level of Muay Thai fights in Thailand at a more affordable price, visit Bangkok on weekend and book your tickets to Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in advance.
Other Muay Thai boxing stadiums in the capital city of Thailand are:

However, there might still be some really good fights in such events.
