When you watch a Muay Thai fight in Thailand, you're not just watching a fight, you're experiencing a piece of Thai culture. The energy in a Thai stadium during a Muay Thai fight is electric, it's a feeling you can't describe, you have to be there to understand it.

[@Radiancegrace]

Visualizing Otis in tiny boxing shorts brings a smile. Always bringing us the best thank you for sharing another illustrious aspect of wonderful Thailand culture 🙏🏻

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Good vlog, from a good human.

[@ohiosquire4212]

Got to see the match live on TV but it's nothing like being there. The rituals, the smells and the music all add to the atmosphere. Thanks for bringing some of Thailand's culture to us, Ryan!!

[@jordiking2481]

Thanks Ryan... thoroughly enjoyed the video... even stood up for the National anthem 🙏..Buakaw is my favorite Thai fighter...all the best for 2568...

[@ronthompson2366]

This was fantastic. Many many... years ago when I met my wife . I was introduced to Maui Thai in her village. Not as a fighter, just a spectator. It's a great part of Thai culture. So this was very interesting. It also shows how much Thailand has modernized in many ways and yet still clings to It's history. Thanks for taking us along , and yeah take your son. What a epic adventure that would be for him and you to share together. Btw, didn't recognize you all dressed up lol...

[@genokemp2433]

My god how that arena has changed from 16 years ago when I went .One of the best nights I've had in Thailand hands down . Atmosphere,Build up to each fight ,Thai punters at the back gambling between themselves to roaring their favourite fighter on .To going back stage to meet some of the fighters afterwards .Like you said Ryan .it's a must do .Thanks. Happy new year to you and your lovely family mate ❤

[@LeeQuisenberry]

I totally agree. Had the pleasure of watching matched there back in February 2022. I will definitely go back.

[@TheLogozz]

Didn't know you are into Muai Thai...then again, being so immersed in Thai culture as you are, it's unaviodable... Buakaw is LEGEND!

[@colinb8512]

The'ceiling' of the stadium is superb and the exterior, very nice. That's why I 'liked' the vlog for the benefit of your channel. As for Muay Thai, Boxing and any other similar sports, I hate them all. I used to watch big name Boxers like Cassius Clay, Joe Frazier & Joe Bugner in championship fights & a little bit of Wrestling because my father used to watch those guys. It was probably after my father gave me a whack around the back of the head, apparently because I said something a little bit cheeky to my mother. It caused me to hit my forehead on a door frame&I got a lump the size of an egg above my eye. Can't remember watching another Boxing or Wrestling match after that.

[@joezip6389]

Thanks for this video it was very well done, it is on my list now to visit Thanks

[@STARRUNNER45-e4z]

That looked great, Tis would love that 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💯💯💯💙

[@anoukilangakoon7392]

Another great vlog, you really did justice to Muaithai and the stadium is spectacular.

[@glennamyhotspur]

That looks like a great night out! Cheers, Ryan!

[@brettyb2006]

Awesome mate, thanks for the top vid! you now have me searching for a replay of this fight now! haha

[@iainw189]

My favourite Muay Thai stadium, even before the post-Covid revamp. I always make my 3 monthly pilgrimage when I come to Thailand 😀. Can’t wait till Feb when I’ll get to see the new immersive dome (this wasn’t live when I was there in December). Great description of the stadium and what happens there 👍

[@เฉลิมพลขุนเพิ่ม-ร9ฃ]

เวทีใหม่ใหญ่มาก

[@rosiew8051]

Interesting video, even though boxing is not my thing. Hope your back has eased and you are getting back to good health and mobility. Happy New Year.

[@WAWZDAT]

Nice vlog. I thought the stadium was bigger. I watch the fights at Rajadamnern stadium every Saturday morning in the US. If you have a smart TV and can find Swerve Combat they play the fights. I know the Roku devices have it.

[@murraywolf7284]

Great video man. I absolutely love your vibe and your stories. ❤😊

[@suphadee]

I used to go to the old Lumpini boxing stadium as I lived near it and really enjoyed the atmosphere there.

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

Wow. Looks like the atmosphere is electrically charged. Great looking building inside and outside. Yes a friend of mine has been here a couple of times. I wouldn't know the finer points of the game, but when I have seen it, it's very fast and they don't hold back, the pace and punching along with side kicks can be brutal. Excellent video. 👍❤️😇

[@topcat9350]

I visited Rajadamnern in 2002 I had a great experience 👍

[@simonB143]

The kohsarn rd area has changed beyond all recognition from the place I remember it, from one of the cheapest places to stay in the capital to one of the most expensive. I saw one guesthouse I remembered from 35 years ago on my first visit. Such a shame. I've never been to that stadium, it looks quite good. I remember going to see the band Europe at a big open air stadium called something like hallmark. It was a very different gig experience to what we expect as westerners. Good vid Ryan, shame your lovely Mrs wasn't in it to brighten things up with her smile.

[@michaelj2528]

WOW Looked a fantastic place, so interesting to watch some of the fights . Anyone lucky enough to visit Thailand its a must visit . Always interesting and informative and entertaining

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

Did you stay rambuttri village? Absolutely love it round there. Fabulous atmosphere. Enjoy your time in bangkok 😊😊

[@maxwellfluckiger6829]

Would love to see Buakew fight! Epic stuff dude! Stadium looks amazing!

[@pejfectlife]

A pretty stark difference from the local fight I went to in Buriram just before the New Year XD Stadium looks cool, but the crowd overall felt pretty quiet except for the "ooh" when someone got hit good.

[@marglewis7652]

I remember the first time I ever saw Muay Thai, was on my first trip to Bangkok 2007. I came out of the doors at MBK and it was "Wednesday fight night" nothing as flash as this vlog but my mind was blown away, the crowd the musicians and the way Thai's cheer. I saw one of the fighters the next day while out walking and his face was so swollen he looked like the elephant man.

[@mervynpeka]

Thanks from Sydney

[@andrewshinegold6988]

Great vid Ryan

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

Marvelous episode, the filming sequences and narration all excellent Ryan. Muay Thai is a great tradition and fierce sport. Just don't put Otis in a fight in his teens, wait till bones and musculature developed...wait i am not a doctor haha For those of us who have been around, Thai children can be on stage boxing in Muay Thai fights for tourists .. Peace Love and Happy New Year Y'all PS think your new cameras microphone is more treble and louder now, though you may be yelling as well 555

[@Denis-kb8ls]

I live in the corner (Wisutcasat / Prachatipathai) for 10 years... if not to late Ponsinn restaurant tick many boxes..

[@SurinLeiningen]

Surin's own, Buakaw 😃

[@AquarianConspiracy]

Enjoy good daddy😊 Invest,believe,achieve..your dreams❤

[@andrewhyland9212]

Good to see you show another part of Thai culture. Looking quite dapper. Can accept the Thai music but the MC guy??? It’s Muay Thai not boxing.

[@yourdadsvan6763]

Why am I getting Derren Brown the Magician vibes with you in a suit 😂

[@TheDizzydiana]

My hubby's cousin's son from Belfast is a 2x world champion (WKN K1 Featherweight) Jay Sneddon.

[@mixalis6168]

Old Lumpinee was the place, never will be anything the same! Buakaw, way past his prime, but still puts on a show ! Hows the bookies ?

[@pj-vq3by]

Buakaw is the man...42 and still winning top tier fights Im 41 and can barely exercise due to injuries haha

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

Fabulous ryan

[@nickl1177]

Nice

[@kenglangmaipa8410]

Buakaw, the best waikru dancer so also his fight .

[@stevedrinkschang365]

Rodtang vs Superlek was a great time!

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

Have otis and hugo ever been bangkok?Would be nice family holiday for couple of days

[@mattalford389]

Bit too full on for me 😂 But interesting to see. I'm surprised they let you film in there Ryan!!

[@mr.critic]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ruudeijk]

Ramon Dekkers will always be the King of Muay Thai !

[@justinthaim8879]

Just watched the full fight on RWS channel... can see you in the crowd making this video at 1:32 😂

[@thenakedguru]

🤣🤣

[@Vonsat]

I was there too! The atmosphere was electric😄 Loved it!

[@senianns9522]

Kao Sai Galaxy in the late 80's and Sot Chitrlada were genuinely good Thai boxers, Not Muay Thai though. Love the art deco style stadium!

[@Syntax1963A]

but isn't Burkal retired and does just show fights anymore? There are other young guys taking over - like Tawanchai, Superlek, Rodtang.... I am a total Rodtang fan... as I love his humble personality.

[@Jon-bp6xl]

You must have noticed the very poor air quality in Bangkok compared to rural Buriram.

[@arthurdunga345]

i used to love going to the fights been to a lot but they they always like the thai to win if its a farrang they always decide against them. we will always be the outsider its just how it is

[@wekker090]

This and lumpini are great for the sport, to bad Buakaw was kickboxing rules.

[@TheThailightZone]

I like the stadium and the event presentation. Even though I admire their fitness and talent I personally do not like watching women or kids fighting. I must say the repetitive high pitch traditional music that is played gets a bit tiresome over the course of a couple of hours. Interesting video thanks Ryan.

[@Nueng-Andres]

He didn`t knock him out??????

[@bobwelo]

[@MatthewBlood-h4c]

Sat nights at lompinee stadium in Bangkok has had some great fights May be you can do a vlog there some time first went to that stadium in 1995 🇦🇺👍🙏

[@trevorosborn7411]

I love going to Rajadamnern stadium and lumpinee. Took my elderly father in law and my wife (who is a doctor). With three knockouts or thereabouts suffice to say she won’t be going again 😀 I loved it 😂 I haven’t been to see the new dome. 💯 respect for Baukaw 🙏🙏🙏 thanks for another excellent vid.

[@craigmacintosh6180]

Lumpinee is a souless pit on Ram Intra road

[@hanumon22]

This cannot be the biggest fight Thailand had ever seen. Maybe it's the biggest promotional fight ever, but jot the biggest. That said, the fight was fixed. Buakaws kicks and punches were not of the same caliber as previous fights. Anyone who is wants to review this fight a d his previous fights can make up their mind.

[@joemann2178]

Must visit there when I'm coming and going thanks for the info. They love Buakhao here in Surin, I think he was born here, or went to school here or something. I'm waiting for the up coming Jake Paul vs Joe Biden fight.

[@thenakedguru]

Yeah he’s from Surin I think Joe 😁

[@justinthaim8879]

I like watching Muay Thai, but the constant Thai music blaring out does my head in and the rituals get boring and seem a bit overkill. If they want it to appeal to a wider audience like UFC or boxing, they need to streamline the show a bit. Traditions are important, but all of the fighters would benefit from more global interest, so I think it needs to be modernized... starting with turning off that damn music during the fight!

[@Kiwiboy1929]

Look at you all dressed up and no hat

[@davidrobertthomas1515]

I’m perplexed that the announcements in the stadium are made in English! Why? The Thai audience can’t be happy about that. Shame on the stadium organisers I say. Are the stadium organisers saying to the audience that the Thai language isn’t good enough to be used or isn’t worthy of such a big occasion? It’s preposterous that a Thai sport is taking place in a Thai stadium and the local Thai supporters don’t understand a word said!! Also when in Thailand I expect to hear the Thai language!

[@iainw189]

Generally you don’t see many Thai at Rajadamnern - it’s 90% farang probably due to the cost. Different story if you go to Channel 7 stadium on a Sunday. Free entry and absolutely packed with locals.

[@Richard1944]

👎🏼👎🏼

[@spatun1291]

Good

[@mikeysmallz7700]

Lumping Stadium is a much better atmosphere to take Otis. It is a lot more exciting. Take it from someone who has been watching Muay Thai in Bangkok for over 25 years.

[@jbb8600]

Lumpinee you mean 😂
