We really had a lot of fun on a Sunday night for the Muay Thai fights. They start at 6:30 and lasted until 9:30. There were 2-3 of the 9 fights that had younger guys (children about 8-11 years old), but they also had some older/stronger fighters. It was very neat to watch and experience. We paid 2,000 B per ticket for ring side seats, which is pretty expensive in my opinion. I️ understand that’s the going rate, but it was worth it. While we enjoyed the seats and being waited on, I️ think the 2nd level would have been just fine. They served beer 150B for a big beer as well as water/soda/hot dogs. We picked this stadium since it is closer to town and where we were. We got a quick uber to Khao San road after. We would go again as well as recommended it.
1) once I exit out of my taxi, I’m greeted by their usher: ‘welcome to Rajadamnoen stadium, have you bought your ticket?’2) upon realising that I bought my ticket online (I bought through klook to enjoy abt 10% off), I’m guided to e counter to redeem my tickets. 3) staffs are around to guide me to my exact entrance. 4) upon entry, security are around to check my bags, water is not allowed in the stadium. 5) another usher is in there to guide me where are the empty seats are. 6) gonna admit, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. That night I got 10 fights to watch, match gets better (in terms of fighter’s level & technique as the night goes on). 7) from my attached pictures, 1 side have locals screaming their lungs off after placing their bets, e other side have fighters fighting for their life. 8) staffs walk around frequently to take your orders for snacks or a glass of beer. In conclusion: place is probably managed. Plus point is I got to see a KO live! Felt sorry for the guy who got KO but that made my day :pBetter to purchase 2nd class tickets as 3rd class, there’s a barrier over thus your view will be slightly blocked. & with locals mostly occupying that class, atmosphere will get rowdy when the fight gets intense.
Muay Thai is a huge cultural aspect of Thailand and a visit to watch these fighters was a great evening out. The atmosphere was fantastic with the locals shouting, bantering and cheering on the fighters was electric. Lots of hand gestures which looked like some kind of betting code but I’m not sure. There are a number of ticket types, from the local standing areas (not many non-locals seem to go for this option buts perfectly safe) to Ringside. We opted for the Club Seats, which I think are better than rings ideas you sit at the same eye level as the fighters, whereas Ringside is below the ring level and more expensive. It’s not cheap, we paid about USD$60 for Club seats. And I’m sure non-locals get charged more than locals – but heck it up and grab the atmosphere. Beer also more expensive inside at Bht150 a pint but it does get served to you at your seat. We went on a Monday, which is quieter than end of week or weekends but it was still great. Outside the stadium is some local street food vendors serving some tasty and cheap Thai foods. All in all, a great evening and worth a visit.
I am a little torn in this review since I had a great time at the fights. My only real complaint about this venue is when you arrive and are purposely deceived by sales staff trying to get you to pay for vip seating. My cab driver called ahead without my permission to let his contact know he had someone without a ticket. I was greeted immediately after stepping out of the cab by a lady with a badge you told me I could only buy tickets from her. When I pointed to the box office window, she told me it was only for online purchases and said I had to show her my receipt to stand in line. She got very aggressive and even started yelling at me. Turns out you can stand in line to buy the lower priced tickets. They are higher up, but I found them perfectly acceptable. The vip seats were obviously oversold and people who paid twice as much were sitting in chairs all the way out the door. I paid $1000 for the least expensive seats at the box office and bought a nice t shirt for 500 baht and was happy with my decision. The fights were great and the fighters were excellent. I really enjoyed myself once I was inside. The t shirt was well made too and I have a nice souvenir. Please be aware of the ticket sales people. It’s a shame that a sport built around honor and respect does not employ sales representatives who have those same values.
Buy your tickets thru viator… I bought ringside, and the tour guide got me backstage to pose and get photos with the boxer..I tipped 20 us, I don’t know if that was generous or not..
I’ll look at other stadiums before returning again.We’ve been here about 10 times before COVID. Last night was the 1st time we returned after COVID lockdowns.The stadium now has neon flashing lights, side scrolling advertising around the ring, and plays USA NBL Basketball type house music between rounds.It just doesn’t feel authentic anymore. They’ve tried to become fancy, but all they’ve done is sold the stadiums soul.Credit and Respect to the fighters remains.
My teen boys really really enjoyed this experience I booked on line via a tour operator and arrival went smoothly only thing I would say is we were told it started at 6.30pm that’s what the tickets stated but we arrived at 6pm and they were already half way through the first flight. The stadium was excellent my teens enjoyed the hot dogs but not great for adults who enjoy something a bit more healthy. Drinks and the seats are brilliant. All the fights were great and it had a great atmosphere. Dont bring water with you they take it off you before you enter I had to buy some well worth the money my boys and I loved it
Amazing stadium, the organization staff is very great and helpful to give you the best experience as possible. Boxing combats are super great and sublimated by lights and sound effects.
Very good experience! I recommend to anyone visiting Bangkok. You can choose three different prices.
The fights were my favorite part. Really top class fighters and well matched fights. I go almost every week to RWS which has been an amazing promotion for the fighters and the sport.Great place to bring family and friends if they are in town.
