Any suggestions for seeing Thai Boxing?
Which is the best place? What's the best time and place to show up? Which seats to buy? How do you get there?
I've been to Lumpini "Stadium" once a long time ago, but I went with a friend who organized it so I don't remember the details. Frankly it kind of looked like they were just going through the motions, so it wasn't terribly interesting. I'm hoping it was just an off day.

I just went 3 weeks ago. It was pretty good. Ringside seats are good but where all the farangs sit so it feels a bit weird. If you seat back a level you can be in the midst of all the craziness, and next time I'll give that a try...
There are 2 main stadiums.. Lumpini and another whose name escapes me now (which was the one I went to!).
It's fun and definitely worth going... btw, don't go too early or it will take too long to get to the "good" fights...

when in LOS, and you forget the days that each stadium has fights, ask the hotel. But, never buy from the hotel. they will overcharge you, even if they go out of their way to bring the tickets to your room and transport you there. better to go with a thai girl (if you find one that likes mua thai), and have her get the tickets. you will find out that there is a very big difference in price.

Lumpini and Ratchadamnoen are the two most prestigious venues. And they flip-flop over the years as to which is generally better. Right now, the consensus is that it is Lumpini. At Lumpini, if you are falang or japanese the ticket "mafia" (comprised mostly of young girls) is going to try to steer you to a ringside seat for 1,000 baht, telling you it is safer, etc. If you want ringside, you can negotiate this down to at least 800. Also tell them you do not want to sit behind the wooden bench with all the thai old-timers (they are actually in front of one section of "ringside" seats and you won't see shit if you sit behind them because there are constantly guys running back and forth placing their bets). Quality varies from night to night but generally , friday nights at Lumpini and I think thursdays at Ratchadamnoen are the best fight nights. You might want to check when a title fight is, people get up for these. Each stadium has its own champions at the various weight classes, even though sometimes it is the same guy fighting under different names. As for off-days, I have also seen guys fight on consecutive days using different names-- so of course the 2nd time around they didn't put on their best. Avoid, "Lumprinee" , this is some bullshit stadium, marketed for the Khao San crowd. If you want things really native, head down to Samrung Stadium in samart prakarn(?).

Lumpini, or television, the fights at lumpini arent as clean as those on tv, if youre looking for down o earth thai atmosphere, that should be your choice, then following the line, ring sid seats are no choice, except youre japanese, 2nd class, perfect view, hard wooden bench, the noise of the bookies and gamblers behind you, arrive about an hour after the first fight, then you have still five more fights to go, which should do fine (remember the wooden bench), tickets, onl buy them right at the counter of the stadium.

and of course, the muay thai schools are worth a visit, but should take a local with you, the further outside of bangkok, the more chaos farang visitors create, and the more insight we gain.

Rumor has it that if you like Japanese girls, a sure way to get down is to take one to a Muay Thai match. I guess the repression of their society, leaves a lot of energy bottled up, and seeing all that aggression, makes their little panties wet...
I will test this later this year...

well and then there is pink panther, patpong, if you want to see women boxing each other (I think its twice a week), sometimes drunk and/or fat farang men want to enter the ring, and yes they can, and end up, beaten up.
