Muay Thai boxers attempt world record in Hua Hin

Post by buksida »

Surprised nobody has mentioned this, it was quite a spectacle looking at the photos.

Thai boxers, all 3,660 men were army officers led by boxing legend Buakaw Banchamek, performed the world’s largest gathering of Muay Thai reverential dance at Rajabhakti Park in Hua Hin Monday as they attempt to have it recorded by Guinness World Records. It’s part of the Amazing Muay Thai Festival 2023 and was presided by PM Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha.

I think it was mentioned on the Forum about 6 months ago, but the usual interest was shown.

If I was one of those boxers I'd be a bit peeved to see it credited to TAT.

The previous record was 250. The Thais beat that with 3,600+.
I guess that was pretty decisive!
