Watch Muay Thai fights
Muay Thai, or Thai Boxing, is the national combat sport of Thailand. Not only is it a sport but also a martial art that originated in the 13th century. The rule of Muay Thai differs from traditional boxing and kickboxing. Two Muay Thai fighters will compete against each other with a wider range of techniques by utilizing their fists, feet, elbows, knees and shins to attack in the game. During the match, both competitors must wear gloves and Muay Thai shorts. Shirts and shoes are not allowed. A Muay Thai match consists of 5 rounds with 3 minutes in length each round.
As it is popular worldwide and a pride of Thai culture, you should watch a Muay Thai match when you have a chance to be in Bangkok. That would be a cool experience for your Thailand trip.
