Kick Boxing at the Patong Stadium – Phuket

It’s a well-known fact that Muay Thai is the national combat sport in all of Thailand, and a tour to any one of the main boxing stadiums and or training centres around the country will surely bear witness to this spectacular “Art of Eight Limbs” phenomena. It’s also a key feature on many a tourist’s travel itinerary when coming to Thailand for a visit.

Muay Thai is considered one of the most feared and devastating forms of martial arts, both within as well as outside the boxing ring. The indispensable routine workout that comprises long early morning runs and four to five hours of daily training in the pounding Thai weather is what makes a perfect Thai fighter.

This hard work and supreme dedication are probably the very reasons why Muay Thai fighters are respected all around the world. And, this reverence and admiration for the game and its players make Muay Thai, one of the most followed and gambled Bodog sports in the world.

The popularity of this combat sport is not just confined to Thailand. As a matter of fact, many foreigners are currently seeking residence in different parts of Thailand, in order to get trained and prepared for competitive Muay Thai action.

Such widespread popularity has attracted a countless number of tourists to this land – a crucial part of their vacation schedule includes visiting Muay Thai stadiums or training camps for witnessing the thrills and excitement in person, and also to get some tips and tricks for active bookmaker sportsbook betting.

Training camps and stadiums promoting this form of martial art are scattered throughout the country. Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket are some places where one can typically come across a vast number of stadiums and training camps promoting Muay Thai. For some, these places might just be centres for entertainment, while there are some others who take the sport and its tradition quite seriously.

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium – Bangkok

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium

Located on Rama IV Road in Bangkok, the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is by far one of the best Muay Thai stadiums in Thailand. It’s also the main combat sports arena in the capital. The stadium is operated and maintained by the Royal Thai Army on behalf of the Thai Government. 

With a seating capacity for over 9,500 spectators, you can witness some real man to man combat action on a Tuesday evening, a Friday evening and also on every Saturday afternoon and evening. Tickets prices for seats usually range between 200 and 2,000 Baht with the highest priced ones being for the best in the house encircling the ring. 

You could say that the Lumpinee Stadium is the Mecca of all Muay Thai stadiums and the ultimate dream every aspiring Thai boxer would dearly love to call home. Since it’s at this legendary sanctuary that only the best of the best will get the chance to fight.

As a spectator you will get the chance to absorb the energy and atmosphere while chanting, screaming and shouting along with the rest of the maddening crowd. I’ve only ever been to this place once and I can tell you it’s hellishly crazy.

Muay Thai Fight

Rajadamnern Stadium

Along with the Lumpinee Stadium, the Rajadamnern Stadium is one of the two primary combat sports arenas in Bangkok. The stadium holds its own championship title fights for the 160 lbs middleweight category. This particular indoor sporting arena holds regular contests on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

The fights normally start at around 6:30 pm on the scheduled days and the cost can be anywhere from 500 Baht for back row seats to 2,000 Baht for ringside seats.

Each and every fighter must abide by a few rules. Only fists, feet, hands, elbows and knees are allowed during five three-minute rounds alternating with two-minute breaks. And to be a champion every boxer will have trained six hours a week for six days a week and mostly in blistering heat until the job is done. It’s not for the weak or timid.

Located on the Sai Nam Yen road near the Patong beach in Phuket, the Patong Boxing Stadium is the most popular Muay Thai boxing venue in Phuket. It’s also considered to be one of the best Muay Thai stadiums in Thailand simply because a huge number of foreigners keep coming here to enjoy not only the combat sport itself but also to make some money through Bodog sportsbook betting.
