Highlights
- Ao Nang Krabi Thai Boxing Stadium - Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing or Thai kickboxing, is the national sport of Thailand. This martial art is a method of self-defense that was honed and utilized in combat by the ancient warriors from the kingdom of Siam. It integrates elements of kickboxing with a form of stand-up grappling known as clinching, and is often described as the ‘art of the eight limbs’ because it involves using the hands, elbows, legs, and knees to strike an opponent.\n\nMuay Thai is recognized as the most ancient form of kickboxing, as well as being the most lethal and efficient. Typically, a professional Thai boxer will not exceed a weight of 55 kilograms, and time after time, when facing competitors trained in various other martial arts, the Muay Thai practitioner has consistently emerged victorious.\n\nTraining for Muay Thai is rigorous and starts at an early age, around six or seven years old, with a boxer’s inaugural bout typically occurring by the age of eight. Beyond the pursuit of financial rewards, these fighters aspire to compete in the iconic Bangkok arenas, Lumpini and Ratchadamnoen. Achieving this level of success is a distinction that only a select few attain, and their bouts are broadcasted weekly to an audience of millions of Thai enthusiasts.\n\nThese matches are not mere exhibitions for tourists; they are genuine contests that are frequently attended by local Thai spectators.
