MuayThai Boxing

Amanda and I ended our night in Bangkok by going to see Muay Thai Boxing at Ratchadamnoen Boxing Stadium. There were 10 rounds - five fights in each round. And the headliner fight was round 7!

Amanda and I are cheap, so we decided to buy the outer circle - 3rd class - seats! This is where all of the Thai men who are gambling and betting on the fights stand, yell, and throw their hands in the air, screaming out their next bet and yelling for their chosen boxer! The environment was intense to say the least!

Amanda and I sat on the outer edge of all the men betting and screaming and were able to sit down to both enjoy the fights and also to be entertained my the shouting Thai men!

While watching the Mauy Thai Boxing I saw so many high-kicks to the ribs, it was sick! And every kick to the rib and every hook to the jaw was followed by an echoing "Ah, Ah" from the routy Thai gamblers.
