Thai Boxing stadium in Hua Hin

[Timb-uk]

Could someone tell me whether the Thai Boxing "stadium" is still operating.....and if it is, is it worth going to ?

Thanks

Bump, yes I would also like to know about any muay thai events. Date,time, location, etc.

They have matches every Wednesday and Friday. We attended one of last week's (Wednesday's) matches, and they were passing out fliers for the Friday matches. Start times are advertised as 9:00PM but Wednesday, they didn't start until about 9:40. I think we paid about 1,200 baht for 2 of us, but there are different prices for proximity to the ring (and probably, for Thai/farang also).

There are two muay thai stadiums in town, right? One in the center, somewhere between City Beach Hotel and Hilton, and one right by the Grand Plaza night market?

So one of them has matches Wednesday and Friday. How about the other one -- I seem to remember Tuesdays and Thursdays, is that correct?

I've been to this one a couple times. After some of the fights the fighters go around the seats soliciting tips. Not sure if its typical, but it put me off. Otherwise, a nice evening out. You can get seats so close that the blood could fly onto you!

Went to the Thai Boxing Garden last night (Saturday). There were 5 fights - couple of them had young boys that personally I thought were too young to be fighting. Its totally a tourist setup. Somewhat interesting but the quality of the fights wasn't the best (if you've seen high level Thai boxing previously).

Should have mentioned that the other stadium has fights on Friday nights.
