Thai Boxing

Thai boxing is both a sport and a means of self defence. Contestants are allowed to use almost any part of their body: feet, elbows, legs, knees, shoulders are all ''weapons". The playing of traditional music during bouts makes for even greater excitement. There are three venues for this type of sport.

Ratchadamnoen Stadium (Tel. 2814205) Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue every Monday, Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursday at 5 pm., 9 pm and Sunday at 4 pm, 8 pm.

Lumphini Stadium (Tel. 2514303) Rama IV Road, every Tuesday, Friday at 6 pm and Saturday at 5 pm.

Samrong Stadium in Samut Prakan (Tel. 3933592), every Tuesday at 8.30 pm and Friday at 8.15 pm.
