Is Rajadamnern Stadium worth it?

Rajadamnern is the best Muay Thai evening in Bangkok for a group. Book ringside on a Saturday, and you'll hear every kick land.

The stadium's own site counts 3,500 seats around the ring.

There's a card every evening, but Saturday's RWS is the big production: seven three-round fights with a five-round main event, lights and music.

For the old-school crowd, go on a Wednesday or Thursday, when the five-round traditional cards run. Ask Tanner which night suits your group.

How much are Rajadamnern tickets?

Ringside is right at the canvas, and it's the one to book: everyone together, at the ring.

The stadium sells six classes of seat, from the top of the bowl down to the canvas. The Superior Panoramic Balcony, on Saturday RWS nights only, has its own bar. Live prices for each class are on the stadium's own booking page, and they change by card.

Tanner's pick: Singha Ringside on a Saturday, with the whole group together at the ring.

Ask Tanner and he checks the prices for your date when he books.

  • Muay Thai stadium, old city
  • Every evening; Saturday RWS, doors 6pm
  • 3,500 (the stadium)
  • 8 Rajadamnern Nok Road, Pom Prap
  • Priced by class; Tanner checks your date

Which night is best at Rajadamnern?

Saturday, for the Rajadamnern World Series, with doors at 6pm.

Monday, Tuesday and Friday run Rajadamnern Knockout, seven three-round fights.

Wednesday (New Power) and Thursday (Petchyindee) run eight five-round traditional fights, and Sunday's Kiatpetch card mixes both. Those nights open at 5pm.

Insider tip: Saturday for the show, Thursday for the purists. Ask Tanner to line up the night with the card you want.

What should you wear to Rajadamnern?

There's no formal dress code. The stadium suggests light, breathable clothes for Bangkok's heat. Smart casual looks right in ringside and the VIP Lounge, and shorts and a shirt are fine higher up.

Seats in each zone go first come, first served, so arrive early.

Watch the betting crowd in the LEO section, but leave the betting to the regulars.

Ask Tanner to get the group in early, and keep your phone ready for the walk-outs.

Rajadamnern or Lumpinee?

For most visitors, Rajadamnern: it's older, in the old city and on every evening.

Lumpinee is on Ram Inthra Road in northern Bangkok, with ONE Friday Fights every Friday, ONE Championship's own events page lists, and stadium cards on Saturdays.

Rajadamnern sits close to the rooftops and the river, so the fight fits easily into a big evening.

Want a ONE card instead? Ask Tanner for Lumpinee on a Friday.

Getting there

Rajadamnern is at 8 Rajadamnern Nok Road in Bangkok's old city. The nearest MRT, Sam Yot, is about a 28-minute walk (1.9 km), Google Maps shows, so most groups come by car.

For a group, your own driver drops you at the door and waits outside: no hunting for a ride with 12 people when the last fight ends.

See VIP transport, then ask Tanner for the car.

Your evening at Rajadamnern

The fight first, then the city: doors at 6pm on a Saturday, seven fights, then a rooftop or a club straight after.

We book the ringside seats together, the driver waits at the entrance, and the host walks the group from the car to the seats.

After the last bout, the car takes you on: a rooftop, a club on RCA or a private river boat. See Bangkok nightlife and the Bangkok dinner cruise.

Muay Thai in Bangkok works for a bachelor party, a birthday or a corporate group. Plan it with Tanner, and he books the seats and the car for your date.
