Food And Drinks Inside Rajadamnern Stadium

The Rajadamnern Stadium food menu is quite limited to be honest. So I always make sure to eat a satisfying meal before going into the venue. You have a few options outside and nearby, which I cover in the next section. That said, you can buy chips, popcorn, noodles, and hot dogs once inside.

Rajadamnern Stadium food prices cost anywhere from 80 to 150 Thai Baht ($1.50 to $5) depending on what you get. As for drinks, you can buy water, soda, or beer and alcohol from the menu. Water is about 30 Thai Baht ($1) a bottle, while beer is 100 Thai Baht ($3.50) per cup.

Food And Drinks Outside Rajadamnern Stadium

Directly to the front right of Rajadamnern Stadium is an outdoor food court. Here, you can buy various Thai dishes like fried rice and noodle soups, plus many fresh fruits. A plate of food should cost no more that 60 Thai Baht ($2). And a bag of fruit is about 30 Thai Baht ($1).

There are a few tables to sit at as well. But because there are so many people, you’ll often have to share a table with strangers. This is quite normal in Thailand, so feel free to grab a seat anywhere you could. Just be sure to ask first if anyone is sitting there. And once you’re sitting down, feel free to strike up a conversation with a local. Thais really do appreciate the fact that people come from all over the world to experience a part of their culture. This is also why I recommend you learn some basic Thai before coming to Thailand.

Food And Drinks Near Rajadamnern Stadium

Once you venture away from Rajadamnern Stadium, your food options begin to open up. But if you ask me, the only restaurant worth visiting within walking distance of Rajadamnern is Likhit Gai Yang. The restaurant is known for its grilled chicken (gai yang) and papaya salad (som tam).

But I skip these dishes and go right for the beef waterfall (nam tok neua). Pair that with some sticky rice, and what you have is pure magic for the taste buds. The food prices are a little steeper than street food, but that’s expected. On average, I usually spend no more than 200 Thai Baht ($7) on a plate of food and a large bottle of beer at Likhit Gai Yang.

If you’re a longtime reader of Muay Thai Stadiums, you know how I feel about Likhit Gai Yang. I’ve included it in my first-time visitor’s guide to Rajadamnern Stadium. It’s popular with locals in Muay Thai. So if you want to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the gamblers, trainers, gym owners, and other prominent figures in Muay Thai interact, this is the place to visit. The owner is also a very cool guy and loves talking to his customers. Every time I visit Likhit Gai Yang before the fights, I feel like I have front row seats to an often underappreciated part of Muay Thai culture – eating before the fights.

Can I Bring Outside Food Into Rajadamnern Stadium?

No, you can’t bring any food or snacks into Rajadamnern Stadium. If you do, security will ask you to throw it away or they will keep it for you until you leave the stadium. I always carry a container of nuts and dried berries with me to snack on, and security even took these from me when they found them in my everyday carry bag.

Can I Bring A Water Bottle Into Rajadamnern Stadium?

No, you can’t bring any kinds of water bottles into Rajadamnern Stadium. Whether you have a throwaway plastic bottle or a personal metal canteen, you’ll have to leave it with security and pick it up on the way out.

Does Rajadamnern Stadium Sell Beer And Alcohol?

Yes, you can buy local Thai beer inside Rajadamnern Stadium for 100 Thai Baht per cup. If you sit ringside or in the VIP section, you can have your beer brought to you by the stadium’s staff. The Club Class section has a nearby bar, so you can order beers without missing the Muay Thai fights. But if you sit in the gambling section, you’ll have to walk to the food area to order beers. Some alcoholic drinks are available too, but I’m not much of a hard liquor drinker, so I don’t know the prices off hand.

Final Thoughts On The Food At Rajadamnern Stadium

Once inside Rajadamnern Stadium, your food options are quite limited. So make sure you eat a fulfilling meal before you watch the Muay Thai fights. You can grab some food at the outdoor food court next to the stadium or at Likhit Gai Yang right around the corner. As for drinks, you can buy water, soda, and beer and alcohol inside. Just don’t try to bring any food, snacks, or drink into Rajadamnern Stadium, because security will take them away. But you can always pick them up again on your way out.
