Getting To Bangkok’s Muay Thai Stadiums

If you’re already in Bangkok, getting to the Muay Thai stadiums is quiet easy. In fact, most people take a taxi, book a Grab, or use the BTS or MRT. But if you’re not yet in the city and wondering how to get to Bangkok, this guide will walk you through all the options you have. Then, once here, you can navigate your way to Lumpinee Stadium, Rajadamnern Stadium, Channel 7 Stadium, or Siam Omnoi Stadium.

You can fly into Bangkok from most international destinations or from within Thailand from one its domestic airports.

From either of these locations, you can take a taxi to the stadiums or get to the nearest BTS or MRT line and then follow the directions below.

Taxis

I wouldn’t recommend hiring a taxi to drive you across the country. But if you’re coming to Bangkok from Pattaya or even Hua Hin, then you can get a taxi for around 3,000 to 5,000 Thai Baht (US$100 to US$150).
