Whether you are visiting or living in Thailand, Lumpini Stadium is a place that everyone needs to attend at least once. The stadium is a true domain of gladiators, and the site of countless battles between some of the best boxers and Muay Thai fighters in the world.
Much like the Roman Coliseum, Bangkok’s Lumpini Stadium is filled with ghosts of the past. The spirits of gloved warriors who fought for fame and fortune prowl the dimly lit arena with authority day in and day out. Only Rajdamnern Stadium, also in Bangkok, rivals the prestige of holding the title of Muay Thai Champion of Lumpini Stadium and simply fighting in Lumpini is an honor in itself.
Fighters and fans pass through the stadium doors for what is but a brief glimpse of those boxers deemed worthy of admittance. Inside and out, enthusiasts nourish the old stadium - its combatants feed off the roar of the four-thousand strong crowds, perpetually charged with electricity.
