Muay Thai
Fight fans will get a kick out of Thailand's national sport Muay
Thai. The matches can be best watched at the Rajadamnern stadium
but be warned, the prices for foreigners or
farangare much more than local's. Usually less than 10
matches are arranged for a night but the brutality of the style
means that some of these result in quick KOs. The events are a mix
of traditional Thai music and traditional pre-match customs before
the hard hitting fight that utilises elbows, knees, fists, and
shins to knock out the opponent. Several types of tickets are
available, the more expensive fight floor, and the more rowdy
informal gambling area on the second tier. Tourists should watch
their hand movements as they can be interpreted as willingness to
bet. Fights can be seen on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and
Sundays in the evening. Lumpini Park also showcases fights to a
more touristy audience.

into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks,
hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs
are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most large hotels
and shops accept travellers cheques, but a better rate will be
given at banks. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and
larger businesses.
