What to Wear to a Muay Thai Fight Night at Rajadamnern or Lumpinee

Dress code: none. Shorts and a t-shirt are fine. It is warm inside the stadium, and ringside zones are air-conditioned. Do not wear outside food or drink, glass, or use flash photography. If you are at the stadium when the national anthem plays (18:00 or 8:00), stand still and be quiet until it finishes.

Comfort first

Wear what you would wear to any sporting event in warm weather. Shorts, a t-shirt, comfortable shoes you do not mind standing in for three hours. The stadium is warm (upper tiers) or air-conditioned (ringside). No formal dress, no special code. One reviewer, Sherri, reported that the stadium volume was loud; if that bothers you, bring earplugs.

No outside food or drinks, no glass, no flash

The stadium bans outside food and drink (you can buy inside), glass bottles or cups, and flash photography. Normal photos are fine. This is a standard venue rule, not a slight.

National and royal anthems: stand and be quiet

Thailand plays the national anthem at 18:00 and 8:00 daily, everywhere. If you are at the stadium when it plays, stand still and be quiet until it finishes. The royal anthem is also played before events. Stand for that too. It is a matter of respect in Thailand, not a rule tourists often know about. Knowing it in advance avoids awkwardness.

What to wear to training

For the $21 beginner class or $54 private session, wear sportswear (t-shirt and shorts). You train barefoot. Bring a towel. Gloves, wraps, and everything else are provided.

Insider tip

Fight night: casual sportswear, comfortable shoes, nothing special. Training: sportswear and a towel. Both: respect the national anthem (stand and be quiet at 18:00 or 8:00). No flash photography, no outside food/drink.
