Bangkok’s Muay Thai fighters
Built over 65 years ago, Bangkok’s run-down Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium is often cited as the ultimate Muay Thai arena.
Every week gamblers, sports fans & tourists enter the Art Deco stadium.
While the crowds eagerly await the first fight, backstage the fighters (aged between 15 & 30) are preparing for combat. Warm-ups begin by throwing combinations & stretching out limbs. As the fight grows near, hands are wrapped & placed into boxing gloves.
