Where to watch Muay Thai in Phuket?
On this website you can discover all the best stadiums to watch Muay Thai fights in Phuket, where you will enjoy a true professional match and understand more about this part of Thai culture during your trip to Thailand.
To experience the fight night of Muay Thai in Phuket, you can choose from 4 boxing stadiums:
Patong Boxing Stadium - the largest air-conditioned Muay Thai stadium in Phuket.
Bangla Boxing Stadium - Phuket's most famous boxing stadium, assembling fighters from all over the world to compete in Thailand's national sport, Muay Thai boxing.
Rawai Boxing Stadium - the venue at Rawai Muay Thai Boxing Camp in the Rawai Beach area of Phuket.
Sinbi Boxing Stadium - one of the newest Muay Thai stadiums in Phuket, located inside the Sinbi Muay Thai Training camp in the Rawai Beach area.
Even if the fights here might not be as high-level as in Bangkok and stadiums are mainly filled by tourists, Phuket is one of the most popular touristy destinations and is good for watching Muay Thai fights during your holidays in Southern Thailand.
As the atmosphere and facilities at the island’s Muay Thai stadiums are quite different, you need to choose the venue that fits your preferences and expectations the best.
The two main Thai boxing stadiums are located in Patong, not too far from Patong Beach. Actually, they are only about 1.1 km apart, so getting there is equally convenient from most areas in Phuket. Both smaller venues are located in Rawai on the southeastern side of Phuket.
Seating at all boxing stadiums in Phuket comes with standard seat and ringside seat options. However, Patong Boxing Stadium is the largest air-conditioned boxing stadium on the island and might be preferred by people who can't stand the heat.

Phuket Muay Thai Fight Night Schedule
As there are only 4 boxing stadiums in Phuket, there is normally at least one Muay Thai event on any day of the week. On weekend nights, you can choose from 2-3 Muay Thai fight events.
The fight night schedule of Muay Thai stadiums in Phuket:
Patong Boxing Stadium: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday
Bangla Boxing Stadium: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
Rawai Boxing Stadium: Friday
Sinbi Boxing Stadium: Saturday
In all venues, the fight nights are scheduled to start at 21:00 and last up to 3 hours, but don't expect them to stick to the schedule too strictly, as it's not uncommon for the first fight to be delayed.
The level of fighters and the quality of fights at Phuket boxing stadiums tend to be similar and might depend on the specific fight night. Normally, there are 6 to 9 fights every night, and at least some of them are really good.
