“Atmosphere was fantastic., I was worried we were going to be up in the gods having 3rd tier seating, but actually it worked out great for us as it was concrete bench seating, so we could get up and down without disturbing anyone in the row. Bonus of free beer all night.. which we made the most of!! We were a family of 5 with a 7 year old who we worried wouldn’t like it .. but he loved everything, especially the lighting effects in the stadium and the history of Muay Thai. We even got to meet the fighters as they came out the main entrance at the end.…”

He taught me the basics of Muay Thai, and it gave me so much more understanding and appreciation before going to watch everyone compete at Rajadamnern Stadium. I’m really grateful for the experience and the knowledge he shared. If you want it more casual, more reflective, or IG-caption short, say the word and I’ll tweak it.”
