Rajadamnern World Series — Saturday

Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) is the stadium's own Saturday-night series, launched in 2022. Gates open at 18:30 and the first bell is at 19:00. Most bouts are three rounds, with a five-round championship main event, and the judges' scores are shown after every round — which makes it the easiest Rajadamnern night to follow if you have never watched Muay Thai.

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 World Series is the Saturday show at Rajadamnern Stadium, which opened in December 1945 and is the oldest purpose-built Muay Thai venue in the world. RWS launched in 2022 with a shorter format: most bouts are three rounds, the main event is a five-round championship fight, and the judges' scores go up after each round.

Why it suits a first visit

Three rounds means there is no feeling-out period — fighters commit from the first bell. Open scoring removes the guesswork, because you always know who is ahead and why a fighter starts pressing late. It is still a real stadium night, with the same ring, the wai khru and the live sarama music.

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 card. A seat with a view of the screens helps, because that is where the round-by-round scores appear, so Club Class and Second Class work well for this show.

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.
