Muay Thai is a National Sport that is regarded with great respect and tinged with awe like few others. The combination of reverence and heritage mixed with the excitement and thrills of real, professional Thai boxing bouts makes this is an entertaining night you'll never forget.
At the beginning of each match, fighters enter the ring to perform the traditional rituals of Wai Khrun (paying respect to their trainers) and Ram Muay (warming up, and showing off, their bodies) to the sound of drums, flutes, and crashing symbols. This hypnotic music then continues during the bout, although it cannot drown out the crowd's whistles and shouts and banters as they urge on their favorite fighter.
Muay Thai is referred to as “The Art of Eight Limbs”, as the hands, shins, elbows and knees are the eight points of contact used extensively, as opposed to in the west where only two fists are used in a match.
It has often been said that watching a Muay Thai fight is a must-do for every sports fan looking for a real Thai experience.
