What Time Do Muay Thai Fights Start in Bangkok?

Most Muay Thai fights in Bangkok start between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM, depending on the stadium and the event. Rajadamnern Stadium has different fight nights throughout the week, while Lumpinee Stadium currently has regular Friday and Saturday evening events starting at 6:30 PM.

⠀

There is one major exception: selected ONE Fight Night events at Lumpinee start at 8:00 AM on Saturday mornings.

⠀

What Time Do Muay Thai Fights Start at Rajadamnern?

⠀

Rajadamnern Stadium hosts Muay Thai throughout the week, but the start time isn't identical every night.

⠀

Current events begin between approximately 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM, depending on the particular fight programme.

⠀

This is why it's worth checking the date you're attending rather than simply remembering one Rajadamnern start time.

⠀

If Rajadamnern fits your Bangkok plans, choose your date first and then check the confirmed start time for that evening.

⠀

What Time Do the Lumpinee Fights Start?

⠀

Lumpinee works differently because several separate events use the stadium.

⠀

ONE Friday Fights takes place on Friday evenings and currently begins at 6:30 PM, with doors opening at 5:30 PM.

⠀

Saturday evening brings Lumpinee Super Champ, which current event listings also schedule from 6:30 PM.

⠀

So for the regular evening events at Lumpinee, 6:30 PM is the important time to remember.

⠀

Are There Morning Fights in Bangkok?

⠀

Yes, and this is the unusual one.

⠀

ONE Fight Night is held at Lumpinee on selected dates and can begin at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning.

⠀

Despite the event being called ONE Fight Night, spectators attending in Bangkok are actually entering the stadium in the morning.

⠀

ONE Fight Night is different from ONE Friday Fights, so always check the full event name on your booking.

⠀

If you've booked Friday Fights, you're heading to Lumpinee in the evening. If you've booked ONE Fight Night, you could be setting your alarm for an early Saturday morning.

⠀

How Early Should I Get to a Bangkok Stadium?

⠀

You don't normally need to arrive hours before the fights.

⠀

Aim to be at the stadium with enough time to enter, find your seating section and get comfortable before the scheduled first bout.

⠀

At Lumpinee, doors currently open around an hour before ONE Friday Fights begins. Rajadamnern also generally opens before the scheduled fight programme.

⠀

Bangkok traffic is the bigger reason to leave some extra time, particularly if you're travelling across the city during the evening.

⠀

Which Bangkok Fight Time Should I Remember?

⠀

There isn't one start time covering every stadium and every event.

⠀

As a general guide, most evening Muay Thai fights in Bangkok begin somewhere between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

⠀

Rajadamnern varies according to the event. ONE Friday Fights at Lumpinee begins at 6:30 PM, and current Saturday Super Champ events also begin at 6:30 PM.

⠀

Selected ONE Fight Night events are the exception, beginning at 8:00 AM.

⠀

Choose your stadium and fight night first, then check the confirmed time for that date. That way you can plan the rest of your Bangkok day around the fights rather than discovering too late that your particular event starts earlier than you expected.
