Rajadamnern Knockout — Monday

Rajadamnern Knockout is the Monday-night card at Rajadamnern Stadium, the oldest purpose-built Muay Thai venue in the world. Gates open at 18:30 and the first bell is at 19:00, with the headline bouts later in the evening. It is a traditional stadium night: five-round bouts, live sarama music and the betting crowd in the upper tiers, with no broadcast production around it.

Seats: Ringside ฿2,500 at the canvas, Club Class ฿1,800 on the raised east-side tier and Second Class ฿1,500 behind ringside, next to the Thai betting crowd. The stadium releases its third-class tier (฿1,000) on some nights only, and it is listed on those dates. Ringside for the canvas, Club Class for a clear view, Second Class for the atmosphere.

Rajadamnern is on Ratchadamnoen Nok Road near the Democracy Monument — a short taxi or Grab, or the Saen Saep boat to Phan Fa Leelard pier. The stadium emails its own QR-code ticket separately from your booking confirmation.

What this night is

Rajadamnern Knockout promotes the Monday card at Rajadamnern Stadium, which opened on 23 December 1945. The rules and ring procedures used here became the standard for stadiums across Thailand, and the arena is compact and steeply tiered, so even the upper seats are close to the ring. Weeknight cards follow the traditional five-round format, and many fighters are young Thai professionals building their records.

A Monday card is a good way to start a week in Bangkok. The house is usually less busy than at the weekend, so seats in every class are easier to get at short notice, and the atmosphere is the traditional stadium one rather than a show built for television.

Seats explained

Ringside (฿2,500) surrounds the canvas on all four sides — the closest view, where you hear the corners between rounds. Club Class (฿1,800) is the raised east-side tier with a clear view down into the ring. Second Class (฿1,500) wraps the stadium behind ringside: you watch from above, which makes the clinch and the footwork easier to read, and you sit near the Thai gamblers. The stadium keeps a third-class tier (฿1,000) that it releases on some nights only; if it is on sale for your date, it is listed with the other seats.

Prices are per person, as listed on our booking pages in October 2026, and the price for the date you choose is shown before you pay.

Times and when to arrive

Gates open at 18:30 and the first bell is at 19:00. Come for the gates: the early bouts are often the most open fights of the night. The exact time for your date is on this page and in your confirmation.

Getting there and getting in

The stadium is at 8 Ratchadamnoen Nok Road, between the Democracy Monument and the Royal Plaza. From the old town, Banglamphu or Khao San Road it is a short taxi, tuk-tuk or Grab — ask for "Sanam Muay Ratchadamnoen". From Siam or Pratunam, the Khlong Saen Saep canal boat to Phan Fa Leelard pier leaves you about 700 m away on foot and avoids the evening traffic, but the boats stop in the evening, so plan a taxi back.

Your booking confirmation is emailed as soon as you pay, and the stadium's own system then sends its QR-code ticket in a separate email, which can take a little longer — look in your junk folder. That QR ticket is what you show at the gate. Tickets are issued on payment, so all sales are final.
