Hi, I’m John Wolcott, a former long-time English-language Muay Thai commentator who’s been living in Thailand since 2014. Over the last decade, I’ve commentated Muay Thai fights at MAX Muay Thai, Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium, Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, World Siam Stadium, and more. In 2022 I stepped away from commentating to focus on writing about the sport. Although I still occasionally commentate, my goal nowadays is to share with you everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) about watching Muay Thai in Thailand so that you can have an unforgettable experience.
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.
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,
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!
