About Thai Stadiums
There are many stadiums throughout Thailand. Unlike mnay other countries, in Thailand, the home of muaythai, there are permanent stadiums dedicated to showcasing the sport. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, has the most stadiums and is where the best fighters fight their way to the very top. Of all the stadiums in Bangkok two others are regarded up all others. These are Lumpinee Stadium (Also spelt Lumpini) and Rajadamnern Stadium (also spelt Ratchadamneorn, amongst other ways).
Fighting muaythai is a way of earning a living for many many Thais and Lumpinee and Rajadamnern champions are regarded above all others. The Thai’s being a small people do not have as many weight classes as say international boxing at these stadiums. At Lumpinee they have championship titles up to 147lbs, and at Rajadamnern up to 160lbs. Though both stadiums will hold fights at heavier weights.
