Monday to Saturday, each night at Patong Boxing Stadium starts with the youngest, lightest fighters and builds through about eight bouts to the main event, with a live band playing as each boxer performs the wai kru. The raised stadium seats take in the whole ring, and ringside tickets, which come with a stadium T-shirt, put you right under the ropes. Every ticket includes a ride from hotels in Patong, Karon and Kata, and anyone tempted to try it can train at the stadium gym, which welcomes beginners, women and children, then watch that night's fights on the same 2,000-baht package.

Bangla Boxing Stadium is where HBO filmed the Muay Thai fight in the third season of The White Lotus, and it has been a launchpad for both Thai and foreign fighters. It moved from Bangla Road to a bigger hall behind Jungceylon, opposite Banzaan Fresh Market, with more seats and better facilities. The Muay Thai brand Yokkao runs the fight nights with the stadium, and the bars of Bangla Road are a short walk away.
“Brilliant fighters, brilliant hosts and a sensational essential experience of Thailand.”

How the points work
We read every independent published best-of list we can find for the question. Each list gives 10 points for first place, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth, and 5 points to each place on a list with no order. Points are added up. A business must be in the top 10 of at least two lists to be ranked. Rankings are never sold. Full method.
