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.

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!

Dear frederic, Thank you for your feedback on the Real Muay Thai Boxing Show at Rajadamnern Stadium. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great experience with the transportation, enjoying the comfort of the air-conditioned minibus and the VIP seats just 2 meters from the ring. It’s wonderful that your first Muay Thai experience was interesting and that you enjoyed the lively atmosphere with the enthusiastic bettors behind you.

We understand that the sport can be a bit violent, but we’re happy to hear that you still found it super exciting. Thank you for sharing your experience! Regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
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.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Real Muay Thai Boxing Show at Rajadamnern Stadium. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the boxing event and found it to be an unbelievable and fantastic experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the transfer. It is unacceptable that you experienced such a delay BUT we did call the reception to advise we would be late due to the heavy rain and the traffic.

Yes you can go to the stadium yourself and pay at the dorr which will cost an extra 25% on top which we charge and you can check this on both websites Thanks, Paul
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.

We really enjoyed seeing Muay Thai fights at this venue. My teenage sons loved this experience. Great blend of modern and traditional elements too. Staff was great, they make it easy and take you to your seats. We sat in the club class area, I don’t think there is a bad seat in this place.

This VIP experience watching our first Muay Thai fight was worth it. Our driver was great and we even connected to the Bluetooth to make sure we were comfortable in traffic. Our ring side seats were up and close to the action. The fights were entertaining and the crowd was definitely into it

The fights were interesting. But because I was a single and they were picking me up and bringing me back there was a $800 byte surcharge. Don’t go alone
Dear Dennis, Thank you for sharing your positive experience at the Real Muay Thai Boxing Show at Rajadamnern Stadium. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the authentic Muay Thai experience. We do not include transfers but as you wanted one there is a supplement which we did arrange for you, cheaper than a taxi due to your hotel area! Thanks, Nick
Great experience overall! The personal driver and ringside seats made it more special. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Thailand.
Hello Horace, Thank you for sharing your experience after attending the Real Muay Thai Boxing Show at Rajadamnern Stadium. We greatly appreciate your feedback. Thank you once more for choosing us and for sharing your exciting experience. Warm regards, Nick
Absolutely fantastic night! The show was amazing, we were watching fights from ring seats so we’re like totally immersed in that action in front of us! The tour provider is excellent, we were taken care of from the beginning. The driver took us to the stadium and back to hotel, so we didn’t have to worry about the transport. We had also like a private guardian who was waiting at the stadium and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening, was attentive, thoughtful and very helpful. You can also meet fighters, congratulate them and take pics, which is awesome.
