Lumpini Muay Thai Stadium: Easy-to-go, classic Muay Thai boxing stadium
Though Muay Thai is not something you can see in public like football, badminton, sepak takraw, etc. (Not to mention, many Thais have never been to a Muay Thai stadium before in their life!) If you want to see Muay Thai in Bangkok, consider Lumpini Muay Thai stadium. It’s easily accessed by the subway. You can watch Muay Thai in Bangkok in several stadiums but Lumpini and Rajadamnern Muay Thai stadiums are the most famous and the classiest. (The latter can be accessed by bus, taxi, and Tuk-Tuk.) Established in 1956, Lumpini Muay Thai stadium is managed by the Thai Army with the main goal to promote professional Thai boxers in international boxing as well as Muay Thai itself. Along with memorable Muay Thai fights, Lumpini Muay Thai stadium has also marked many classic international bouts including the legendary Pone Kingpetch’s championship, the country’s very first world Boxing title.
Presently, Lumpini Muay Thai stadium is accredited among Muay Thai boxers world wide. It has also welcomed action celebrities like Nicholas Cage, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Segal, etc.

A trip to Bangkok without seeing Muay Thai is like a trip to Madrid without seeing bullfighting. Muay Thai is not just a national sport but a also a culture. Watching Muay Thai means two in one. You’ll see how Thais treasure their teachers from “Wai Kru.” You’ll also see a traditional Thai orchestra performing during the fight. The livelier the music, the harder the fight is. A fight with music, can you see anything like this anywhere?
Like bullfighting, Muay Thai is not for everyone. And you may be surprised that many Thais have never been to a Muay Thai stadium before. Unless there’s a knock out or you truly love it, Muay Thai can be boring within the first hour.
