Thailand 2018 - Muay Thai Travel Blog #02 [Lumpinee Stadium]
Our first day in Thailand and I had the Honer of visiting Lumpinee Stadium to catch some Muay Thai fights.
Not only that but I had the privilege of going back stage to the cut room with Team TBM while fighters prepped for their matches. Thank you for this incredible experience, feeling blessed and looking forward to training with some real legends, warriors, and long time friends starting Monday 🙏
This shot is taken outside of the staudium, you cant miss this huge display. Very Thai, royal blue and gold lettering.
Kru Matt and I standing ring side getting ready to catch the fights, very thankful to have VIP ring side seats.
The lights come on, the crowd gets antsy and folks we're ready to witness war in the ring!
This shot was taken back stage at Lumpinee Stadium, very blessed to be in the company of Champions and legends, Kob khun kha.
And a couple shots from the surrounding area, a Lumpinee Stadium banner and a shrine. Spot all those bottles of pop given to Buddha, these offerings make Buddha happy. The family I'm staying with bring some of our breakfast out to their shrine in the morning along with a glass of water, and then some incense!
Today [Sunday] we visited Ayutthaya and explored the ruins of the old capital of the Kingdom of Siam. I have lots of great pictures from our travels which I'll share in my next post coming soon.

Awesome photos and great seats. How was the atmosphere of the crowd at the live event ? I
Hey @rentmoney, Atmosphere was really good! A mixed bag really, I went to the early show so this started at 4pm local time. In the one photo you can see the seats are empty but the opposite side of the stadium was pretty full.
The evening show is probably insane but this was still pretty crazy. Especially when the fighter from the gym I'm training with went out, headliner actually, the whole team was there screaming and yelling to cheer him on, that was epic and the crowd that was there was super energetic..
