00:00Ratchadamnon Stadium is Thailand's Mecca of Muay Thai.
00:05Built during World War II, it was commissioned by Prime Minister Field Marshal Black Pibun Songkram in 1941 as a symbol of national pride.
00:15Construction paused during the war, but the stadium finally opened in 1945, making it one of the oldest boxing stadiums in Thailand.
00:23Today, it's more than just fights, with live shows, modern lighting, and even female fighters now stepping into the ring.
00:31Ratchadamnon is a mix of heritage and next-gen energy.
00:35So next time you're in Bangkok, don't just go watch Muay Thai.
00:38Go to its history. Go to Ratchadamnon. Go watch the boxing matches. Trust me.
