💡 The Short Version: Rajadamnern Stadium calls itself the world’s first Muay Thai stadium and runs fights seven nights a week. Monday, Tuesday and Friday are Rajadamnern Knockout nights, Wednesday and Thursday are traditional five-round cards, Saturday is the Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) and Sunday is the Kiatpetch card. Gates open at 17:00 or 18:00 depending on the night, and each date’s booking page gives the time. There are six seat classes, from 3rd Class on the top tier to Singha Ringside; prices depend on seat and night and are listed per date on the stadium’s site. Or book a tour: the entry ticket on GetYourGuidead (from ฿1,000, 4.9 stars from 16,381 reviews) gives you an e-ticket for a seat zone on a fixed date, and Klookad sells the same match.
The historic home of Muay Thai

Construction began in 1942 and was delayed by the Second World War; the stadium opened in 1945, and hosted its first fight on 23 December 1945. It describes itself as the first circular Muay Thai stadium, with a concrete dome added in 1951. In 1955 it published what it calls the first official professional Muay Thai rule book.
Fighters from Thailand and abroad compete here for the stadium’s championship belts, and the venue runs a ranking system.
