Rajadamnern Stadium

The world's oldest dedicated Muay Thai stadium.

Est. 1945 · Old Bangkok

Rajadamnern Stadium opened on 23 December 1945 and is the oldest purpose-built Muay Thai venue on the planet. For almost eighty years its ring has been the proving ground for nearly every Thai legend — from Apidej Sit-Hirun to Saenchai. A short walk from the Democracy Monument and the temples of Rattanakosin, Rajadamnern remains the spiritual centre of the sport and one of Bangkok's most authentic live experiences.

Where you’ll sit

Rajadamnern is a compact, tiered arena built so almost every seat is close to the action. Ringside hugs the canvas on all four sides — the loudest, most immersive view, where you feel every knee and elbow land. The east side adds a Club tier between ringside and the second class, a comfortable middle option with a clear elevated view. Second and third class wrap the entire stadium and rise behind ringside; this is where the Thai gamblers gather, and the roar of the betting crowd is half the experience. There are no bad seats — the higher tiers simply trade a little distance for a great panorama and the best value.

How to get to Rajadamnern

Rajadamnern sits on Ratchadamnoen Nok Road in old Bangkok, near the Democracy Monument and a short ride from Khao San Road. There is no BRT/MRT station at the door, so most visitors arrive by taxi, Grab or tuk-tuk — tell the driver "Sanam Muay Rajadamnern". From the riverside, the nearest pier is Phra Arthit (Chao Phraya express boat), about a 10–15 minute taxi from there. Allow extra time in Bangkok's evening traffic and aim to arrive before the first bell to catch the build-up and the wai khru.
