Where Can I Watch Muay Thai Fights In Bangkok?
You have quite a few places to watch Muay Thai in Bangkok. You can go to Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium, Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Channel 7 Boxing Stadium, Siam Boxing Stadium (Omnoi), World Siam Stadium, and Rangsit Boxing Stadium. Here are my top five Muay Thai stadiums in Bangkok.
What Is The Best Place To Watch Muay Thai In Bangkok?
The best place to watch Muay Thai in Bangkok depends on the kind of experience you’re looking for. Larger stadiums and smaller venues each have their pros and cons and are exciting for different reasons. Read each of the stadium guides on MuayThaiStadiums.com for a better idea of what each stadium offers in terms of fights and atmospheres.
How Much Does It Cost To Watch Muay Thai In Bangkok?
On average, it costs between 1,000 Thai Baht and 10,000 Thai Baht for tickets to watch Muay Thai in Bangkok.
Where Can I Watch Muay Thai For Free In Thailand?
If you want to watch Muay Thai for free in Thailand, Channel 7 Boxing Stadium doesn’t charge for tickets.
Is It Worth Watching Muay Thai Fights In Bangkok?
Even if you’re not a fight fan, watching Muay Thai in Bangkok will be a memory that lives with you forever.
Can Children Watch Muay Thai In Bangkok?
Yes. Mostly all the Muay Thai stadiums in Bangkok allow kids to enter. Keep in mind, though, that Muay Thai is, at times, a brutally unforgiving sport. Fighters get cut. They get knocked out. And they are sometimes carried out of the ring on stretchers. For sensitive children, it could be too much to take in. You can dive deeper into the topic with my Muay Thai viewing guide for families with kids.
Is There A Dress Code To Enter The Muay Thai Stadiums?
There are no strict dress codes you have to follow to enter most of the Muay Thai stadiums, except for Channel 7 Boxing Stadium. But there are some relaxed guidelines you should follow for all the stadiums. Check out my Lumpinee Stadium dress code and Rajadamnern Stadium dress code guides for more details.
Are The Muay Thai Stadiums In Bangkok Safe?
Staff at Muay Thai stadiums around Bangkok go to great measures to make sure spectators are safe and enjoy themselves at all times.
Are The Gamblers At The Muay Thai Stadiums Dangerous?
No. Most of the gamblers who attend the stadiums are working-class Thais who enjoy betting on the fights. In all my years of going to the stadiums (since 2007), I’ve never seen a gambler bother a non-Thai spectator.
Can You Drink Beer At The Muay Thai Stadiums In Bangkok?
Yes. Most Muay Thai stadiums in Bangkok sell beer at the venues.
Hi John,
Is there any place save to keep my luggage during the time for the show? I plan to catch the flight at ท่าอากาศยานดอนเมือง after watching Muay Thai, thank you.
Hi Nina,
Which stadium are you going to? It seems you may be referring to Lumpinee Stadium since you’ll be flying out of Don Mueang Airport.
But I can give you a better answer if I know the stadium you’re visiting.
Best,
John
Hello John.
I’m not the person who asked, but I’m also going to have a flight from DMK on December 6th and I have tickets for the ONE event in that same day. Is it possible to store the luggage there?
Thank you
Hi Jose,
I talked to Lumpinee Stadium staff about this. They don’t have anywhere to store luggage. Your best bet, although not very convenient, would be to drop off your bags at Don Mueang Airport’s luggage service desk — if that’s where you’re flying out of. Then head back to Lumpinee to watch the fights.
Best,
John
Hi John- I’m in town for a week, and I would like to take some ring side photos of a Muay Thai match. Is there a way to get photo access to one of the fights? I’m a novice photographer but I have been studying documentary style photography for a couple years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Brian,
You’d need some previous credentials to get a pass to one of the big stadiums. I’d recommend finding a local event, maybe MBK Fight Night, and asking somewhere there. You might get lucky with the smaller events.
Best of luck,
John
Hi Channel 7 Team,
I’m an award-winning sports photographer from Australia, recently ranked in the Top 10 nationally. I’ll be in Bangkok soon and would love the chance to photograph one of your fight nights.
All photos taken will be sent to you and can be used freely on your social media — completely free, as a thank you for the opportunity.
Here’s my portfolio: https://dronelikelorenzo.myportfolio.com
Would it be possible to get a photographer pass for an upcoming event?
Thanks again,
Hi Lorenzo,
I am not a representative of Channel 7. But it will be extremely difficult to get a photography pass for the venue unless you know someone on the inside.
Best,
John
Hi John, love the website, thanks for all the hard work. When I look on websites, it says the pink BTS/MRT line out the front of Lumpinee Stadium is operational (or partly operational at least). Is this incorrect? Will it be operational very soon?
Hi Dan, the pink line is now running. You can get off at Ram Inthra 3 station and walk to Lumpinee Stadium from there. It takes about 5 minutes. I’ve updated the article as well, thanks.
Thanks John, much appreciated
You are very welcome
Hi John, I’m an Australian professional photographer visiting BGK in Nov/ Dec and keen to photograph some Muay Thai, particularly at Siam Stadium. Are you able to assist me to contact the correct person to get permission to do some photography? I can be contacted via my website/ email provided.
Yep, I can help you with that. I’ll reach out to you through your email.
Thanks John, that would be great.
Hi,
Don’t know if you have thought about a section where you detail what fights and when but also a way to watch on tv or online? Like ONE lumpinee watch on YouTube.
Keep up the good work, brilliant website
Sounds like a great idea. I’ll work on that soon!
Before finding your guides, we’ve excitedly purchased Lumpinee tickets for a ONE Fiday night show called “VIP Promo- Upper Level, set slightly back from the center of the ringside section” but are unsure of what this means. Do we have to arrive early for a good spot? Are they considered RS A, B, or C? Looking for some guidance, thank you!
Hi Casey. I’ve never hard of the “VIP Promo – Upper Level” tickets. I know they have “Royal Box seats” which are somewhat VIP but on the upper level, not ringside. Where did you buy the tickets from if I might ask? I may be able to check out the link and see what seats they are referring to.
Upon searching for your ticket type, I came across the website that sells that ticket. It appears they are Ringside seats (RS A, B, or C). As far as whether you have to get there early or if they are assigned seats, that I don’t know. I think by “Upper Level” they mean “Best Seats.” Just got lost in translation I suppose.
Hi John, any exciting fight coming up on the 29 or 30 Dec? Would have any recommendations?Thanks
Hey Julian. On 27 December, Rajadamnern will host its 78th anniversary event. That’s all I’m ware of.
