Itinerary
Opened in 1945, Rajadamnern Thai Boxing Stadium is one of the two Muay Thai stadiums in Bangkok. Rajadamnern Stadium operates every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday when doors open from 6pm. The seating is divided into three classes, ringside, second class and third class. Snaring some ringside seats will give you the extreme experience of sitting as close to the fighters as you can get. You’ll be right in the middle of all the action and maybe even end up next to the fighter’s teams and their supporters. Second and third class are still impressive! Sitting in among the locals who are betting on the fighters and getting more and more excited as the night progresses is a truly authentic way to experience a Muay Thai stadium.

Traveler reviews
Muay Thai Boxing... Its sort of a big deal here!
While it was a bit underwhelming overall, I still had a good time. I do think it was worth paying extra for the good seating, as it made the experience more comfortable and enjoyable. One thing that stood out to me was the attentive food and drink service throughout the night. It really added to the overall experience and made the evening more pleasant. Looking forward to our next adventure!

Shocking Tour Operator, Amazing Event
The actual boxing event was unbelievable and a fantastic experience which I would highly recommend. My issue was with the local operator running the excursion. I was told to be at the lobby of my hotel at 16:35 only for the driver to turn up at 17.20 with zero communication from the driver or tour operator. We then subsequently got dropped off late at the stadium and the tour operator people dealing with admission at the stadium were a shambles. My advice to anyone wanting to attend this event is make your own way to the stadium and pay in at the door, far easier and cheaper.
Do not miss this opportunity ! A brilliant night out
We were picked up from our hotel, led through, past the queues, to our ringside seats. We were sat next to one of the judges. There were seven fights comparing of 3x3 minute rounds. The atmosphere was electric, the fitness and quality of the competitors was humbling. Refreshments were reasonably priced and facilities were air conditioned, modern and clean. Our pickup home was waiting outside as we left. A brilliant evening out.
