- Thailand’s national sport is Muay Thai, or Thai Boxing as it is known to a lot of westerners. After more exposure from TV shows and famous movies such as “Ong Bak”, Muay Thai is becoming more popular the world over.
- So what could be better than witnessing an evening’s exciting Thai Boxing here in Bangkok, the home of the sport! With packed houses every evening, there are not many other sports that generate the electric atmosphere and level of noise and excitement that Thai Boxing does!
- Let’s forget the ‘nice’ Queensberry rules of traditional boxing that use just two limbs, the fists. In Thailand, Muay Thai is a combat sport & martial art referred to as the Art of the Eight Limbs, as each fighter will strike with punches, kicks, elbows and knees for a truly spectacular fight.
- There are two main boxing stadiums where Thai Boxers will dream of becoming champion fighters: Rajadamnern and Lumpini. Fights are fast and furious: each bout has five rounds of three minutes, with breaks of two minutes between rounds.
- Before their fight, the boxers will perform a ‘wai khru’ dance, where they are paying homage to their teachers. Rajadamnern Stadium is near the oldest part of Bangkok on Rajadamnoen Avenue. The stadium has air conditioning.
