Lumpinee Stadium

What a seat costs

ONE Friday Fights seats come in four levels, from ฿1,500 in CAT 3 to ฿12,000 ringside, on the official Thai Ticket Major page for ONE Lumpinee 178 (13 November 2026, checked 4 November 2026). The stadium sets Saturday prices card by card.

Friday seats sell through Thai Ticket Major and resellers, and ringside goes first. Prices change by event, so Tanner checks your date.

Ask Tanner to book the seats before you land, and the group sits together.

When the fights are on

There are fights every Friday and Saturday, and Friday is the big one: ONE Friday Fights opens its gates at 5:30pm and the first fight is at 6:30pm. The next cards are on 6, 13, 20 and 27 November 2026, ONE Championship's own events page lists (checked 4 November 2026).

Saturday is the Lumpinee Stadium Championship, with gates at 5pm and fights from 6pm to 9pm, priced by the stadium card by card. Once a month ONE Fight Night takes over on a Saturday morning: the next are on 7 November and 19 December 2026 at 9am Bangkok time, ONE's own events page shows (checked November 2026).

Ask Tanner which card is on during your trip.

Why Lumpinee matters

The Lumpinee belt is one of the two titles every Thai fighter wants; only Rajadamnern's carries the same weight. The stadium opened in 1956 and is run by the Royal Thai Army.

It has changed fast in recent years: ONE Championship arrived in August 2022, and its Friday cards now draw the biggest crowds of the week.

Ask Tanner for a Friday with a big card on it.

The Lumpinee story

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, to give it its full name, opened in 1956 on Rama IV Road as Thailand's second national stadium after Rajadamnern, built with the backing of Praphas Charusathien.

• 1956: opens on Rama IV Road, near Lumphini Park.
• 1980s: Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn holds the lightweight belt for four years.
• 2014: the last show on Rama IV Road is on 8 February, and the first fight on Ram Inthra Road on 11 February.
• 2022: ONE Championship arrives in August.

Ask Tanner to pair it with a night at Rajadamnern, the older rival.

Lumpinee or Rajadamnern?

Lumpinee is the big international cards in a modern stadium. Rajadamnern Stadium, open since 1945, is the history, close to the old town and Khao San Road, with live fights seven nights a week, its own site says (checked 4 November 2026).

Only here for a weekend? Lumpinee on Friday.

Ask Tanner to fit both into a long weekend.

Getting there

Lumpinee is at 6 Ram Inthra Road in Bang Khen, about half an hour north of downtown. The nearest station is Ram Inthra 3 on the Pink Line, a long ride with a change from Sukhumvit.

A taxi from Sukhumvit or Silom gets you there, traffic allowing. The catch is the way out: exits are slow after a Friday card, and everyone wants a car at once.

Ask Tanner and the car is outside when the last fight ends.

Where to sit

The cheapest seats are bleacher benches, with the crowd at full volume and the whole ring in view. Higher up the price list, you get your own seat, closer in.

Ringside is where you hear every kick land and watch the corners work between rounds. The fighters walk in past the ringside seats, so that's the spot for photos.

Tanner's pick: ringside. For a first fight night, nothing beats being that close.

Ask Tanner for ringside A, and the whole group sits together.

Your first fight night

Every fight opens with the wai kru, the fighter paying respect to his teachers, his family and his gym, then the ram muay dance, while the Sarama band plays live through the rounds.

Traditional cards run five rounds and knockout cards three, so a full card fills the whole evening.

Ask Tanner to have the group seated before the first wai kru.

Your Friday at Lumpinee

Train by day if you like (see our Muay Thai camp guide). The car picks you up at 5pm.

Ringside for the first bell at 6:30pm, and the card runs to about 11:30pm.

After the last fight, the car takes you straight to RCA or Thonglor for the party. RCA sits in one of Bangkok's three late entertainment zones under Ministerial Regulation No. 3, where licensed clubs can stay open until 4am, so the night still has hours left.

Plan it with Tanner.

Lumpinee in short

• What it is: Lumpinee Stadium is one of Bangkok's two great Muay Thai stadiums, opened in 1956.

• Since February 2014 it has stood at 6 Ram Inthra Road, Bang Khen, with room for 5,000.
• ONE Friday Fights runs every Friday from 6:30pm to about 11:30pm.
• The Saturday stadium card starts at 6pm, and a monthly ONE Fight Night runs on a Saturday morning.
• The nearest station is Ram Inthra 3 on the Pink Line, so a car is easier.
• Lumpinee is for ONE cards; Rajadamnern, from 1945, is the history. For the rest of the city, see things to do in Bangkok.

Checked 4 November 2026: ONE Friday Fights every Friday, gates 5:30pm, first fight 6:30pm; ONE Fight Night on 7 November and 19 December, 9am.
