Lumpinee Boxing Stadium Tours & Excursions

The Basics

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is operated by the Royal Thai Army and is considered a prestigious venue for Muay Thai. Matches typically take place on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with ticket prices ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 THB, depending on seating. The stadium has three seating options: ringside, club seats, and standard seats. Ringside seating offers the best views and an up-close experience of the action. Matches start in the evening, and a full night of fights includes several bouts, culminating in the main event featuring top fighters.

Things to Know Before You Go

Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere and witness the traditional Wai Khru Ram Muay, a ritual dance performed by fighters before their match. The stadium can get loud and crowded, so be prepared for an energetic environment. Dress comfortably, as seating is close, and bring cash for tickets, snacks, or souvenirs. Photography is allowed, but refrain from using flash to avoid distracting the fighters.

How to Get There

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is located on Ram Intra Road, a bit outside Bangkok’s central area. The most convenient way to get there is by taxi or ride-hailing apps like Grab. If you prefer public transportation, you can take the BTS Skytrain to Mo Chit Station and continue with a taxi or bus. Parking is available for those driving, but using a taxi is often quicker and easier given Bangkok’s traffic.

When to Get There

Matches at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium typically begin in the early evening, around 6:30 PM, but it’s a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time to secure your seats and enjoy the pre-match atmosphere. Weekends usually draw larger crowds, so consider a weekday visit if you prefer a less hectic experience. Special events or championship bouts may require booking tickets in advance.

Day Trips from Bangkok

While Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is primarily an evening destination, you can combine your visit with nearby attractions for a full day. Start your day at Chatuchak Market for shopping and local street food, then head to Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park) for a relaxing afternoon. From there, make your way to the stadium for an action-packed evening of Muay Thai. Alternatively, explore the cultural sites around Mo Chit or take a boat tour along the nearby Chao Phraya River before attending the fights.
