A trip to Bangkok without seeing Muay Thai is like a trip to Madrid without seeing bullfighting.  Muay Thai is not just a national sport but a also a culture.  Watching Muay Thai means two in one.  You'll see how Thais treasure their teachers from "Wai Kru."  You'll also see a traditional Thai orchestra performing during the fight.  The livelier music, the harder the fight is.  A fight with music, can you see anything like this anywhere?

Like bullfighting, Muay Thai is not for everyone.  And you may be surprised that many Thais have never been to a Muay Thai stadium before.  Unless there's a knock out or you truly love it, Muay Thai can be boring within the first hour.
