Muay Thai Fight Nights (Indoor Public Event)

Muay Thai (Thai boxing) is Thailand's national sport, and Koh Samui has two stadiums in Chaweng that stage regular public fight nights: one near Chaweng Lake and one on the Chaweng-Choeng Mon road. Between the two venues there is a card most nights of the week - as of September 2026 one lists Tuesday/Friday/Sunday and the other Monday/Wednesday/Saturday, but promoters change schedules, so confirm the specific night locally. Each event runs about six bouts from roughly 21:00 to just before midnight, starting with young fighters and building to the main fights. These are genuine professional or semi-professional bouts under standard Muay Thai rules, not choreographed shows. Tickets as of September 2026 are about 1,500 THB for stadium seating and 2,000-3,000 THB for ringside/VIP; children under about 5 are usually free and older children roughly half price. The seating areas are roofed, so rain does not stop the event. Loud music and late finish - consider this before bringing small children. Buying at fixed online or box-office prices avoids street-seller markup.
