Thapae Stadium Tours and Tickets

This was a fun thing to do in Chiang Mai! The boxing stadium was not crowded and pretty small, but I like that. There are multiple matches so lots of variety. Overall, a really fun night!

This was a fun thing to do at night in Chiang Mai! It was interesting to see this part of Thai culture!

The fighters were younger than I thought! Glad to see a place where young people can go and learn something that can keep them out of trouble!

Overall, we had a good time. We decided to get the VIP tickets with the separate air conditioned area because Chiang Mai was crazy hot that week. We were a little unsure at first but sober traveler friends we'd meet raved about it. We arrived, were promptly seated, and waited for the show to start. It did start a little later than promised, but that was understandable, since most of the audience hadn't arrived on time. The fights were fast-paced and didn't goo round after round, so that was good. I didn't want to stay the entire night, but there were a bunch of fights and a couple where one fighter weed brought down in the first or second round. My only complaint about the VIP section was that if felt separate from the energy of the crowd, since we weren't experiencing the heat, sounds, and action with the rest of the audience. One of the worker's little girl did keep going into and out of the VIP section, jumping on the couches and yelling, which got distracting and annoying over the course of the evening, so that should be something the owners could take action on in the future.
