Thai boxing stadiums are located in different areas of the city, so you might decide to visit one that is in the most convenient location for you.

Other stadiums (Thupatemi, Siam/Omnoi, Rangsit, and World Siam Stadium) charge for admission, with no seat type specified. At the free Muay Thai venues (Channel 7 and MBK), there are limited seats available, and they are on a first-come, first-served basis.
