How Rajadamnern Stadium regained its Muay Thai glory | Business Story EP.20

Thailand’s oldest boxing venue leaps back onto global stage with Broadway-style shows for all ages, genders 

The first and oldest boxing stadium in Thailand is Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok. This arena was constructed 77 years ago in 1945 but had gradually fallen out of fashion in recent years.

Rajadamnern then suffered a further blow when the Covid-19 pandemic arrived.

However, the famous old boxing arena roared back to life in 2021 at the hands of Thienchai Phisitwuttinan, CEO of Global Sport Ventures (GSV).

He led Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium’s development as a sporting venue that appeals to all ages and genders. The result is a world tourism destination showcasing Muay Thai as Thailand’s soft power.
