• 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 form of self-defense that originated and was honed in combat by the ancient warriors of the Siam kingdom. It combines elements of kickboxing with a standing grappling technique known as clinching, and is often described as the ‘art of the eight limbs’ because it utilizes hands, elbows, legs, and knees to strike an opponent.\n\nRegarded as the most ancient and formidable style of kickboxing, Muay Thai is known for its lethality and efficiency in combat. Typically, a professional Thai boxer will not exceed a weight of 55 kilograms, and time after time, when facing practitioners of other martial arts, the Muay Thai combatant has consistently emerged victorious.\n\nMuay Thai training is rigorous and starts from a young age, around six or seven years old, with fighters entering their first bouts by the age of eight. Beyond the pursuit of financial rewards, these fighters aspire to compete in the iconic Bangkok arenas, Lumpini and Ratchadamnoen, an honor that is bestowed upon only a select few and is broadcasted to millions of Thai enthusiasts every week on television.\n\nThese matches are not mere exhibitions for tourists; they are genuine contests that draw regular attendance from local Thai spectators.
