If you buy a VIP ticket, you can sit in a glass house and enjoy the air conditioning, and there are free drinks (beer, cola or water). There will also be service staff who come in to help you bet on the players. But in fact, the view from outside is also quite good, and you can hear the sound of muscles colliding. Sitting in the glass house is quieter but also very conspicuous. Then let me tell you a point that I feel bad: a boxer came in during the match. He was one of the blind fighting sessions (the fourth picture in my picture is a game session. Four people put on blindfolds and blind fight each other to amuse the audience). Then he came in with a plastic box and spoke a lot of Thai English. We didn't understand. Then he said it again. I guessed blindly that he wanted us to donate money or bet. Then everyone gestured to each other and didn't understand. He left angrily, leaving a mocking and cursing word, you VIP! In fact, we were not unwilling to pay, and I had already thought about giving him money. Anyway, he came to you when he sat in the air-conditioned room, but he saw our confused faces and thought we were playing dumb and refused to give. Then he left in anger without giving us time to react. The organizers should at least explain it to us in some way, because we are tourists and don’t know the rules of the boxing match. Many things are just communication problems. If this Thai boxer spreads it, people will think that we Chinese are stingy. In short, it is still worth experiencing. The match is not too intense, very lightweight, and has a performance nature. If you want to see fierce competition, you have to go to Bangkok to watch professional Muay Thai matches.
Saw 6 Thai boxing matches at the Tapee International Muay Thai Stadium in the evening, it was great, 2 females and 4 males, as other reviews have said, the teenagers started off slow but then it got intense. Drinks were reasonably priced, 120 baht for a large bottle of Chang beer, free toilets but they were not clean. We were a little hesitant to bring our 9 and 5 year olds but they enjoyed it and the kids tickets were half price. We went to the Tapee boxing stadium in Chiang Mai to watch Thai boxing at the end of our trip to Thailand, it was very exciting. We were worried about some of the negative reviews at first, like the matches were fake, but it was clear that none of them were fake. The skill level of the first few rounds was like watching a middle school cafeteria fight, but by the third round the quality of the matches improved. Although the skill level was not comparable to the matches seen in Bangkok, it was great to see such matches in such a small stadium with a good view from every seat. The beer was reasonably priced and we watched some of the knockout matches.
The entire night consisted of 7 matches, with 4 wins by knockout. A highly recommended event; every match was played seriously and was very exciting!
Buying tickets on Ctrip is much cheaper than buying them on site. There are quite a lot of people watching the show, but you shouldn't be short of seats. It's also nice to experience a boxing match. Many female boxers are super cool. Most of the fights are not fierce, but there are also some powerful KOs.
