On our last night in Bangkok (Jan 3) we bought ring side tickets for Thai Boxing in the legendary Lumpini stadion. It's probably the most famous place to see some quality muay thai, and even if the price was ridiculous (1900 baht), it was for sure worth it. In that night there were 9 fights, of which quite a few were with very young boys. Or what do we know, they might have been 16-17 but looked like 12.
The locals arrived quite late and clearly came to see the main fights, which were quite something else than we're used to see in the thai box gyms in Finland. Worth every penny. Lots of knockouts! And they also served beer to the audience, points for that :)
Hopefully we'll have the chance to see some more fights in the islands with free/inexpensive tickets.
