> Lumpinee Boxing Stadium

Lumpinee Boxing Stadium (Thai: สนามมวยลุมพินี; also Sanam Muay Lumpinee) is a Muay Thai stadium and sanctioning venue owned and operated by the Royal Thai Army’s Army Welfare Department. It was constructed under General Praphas Charusathien and opened on December 8, 1956, becoming the second national boxing stadium in Thailand after Rajadamnern. The stadium is widely regarded as the symbol of modern Muay Thai and its championship titles — which span from mini flyweight (105 lb) through super welterweight (154 lb) — are among the most prestigious in the sport.

The original stadium was located on Rama IV Road near Lumphini Park in Bangkok; the facility relocated to its current address on Ram Inthra Road on February 11, 2014, with a capacity of 5,000 spectators. Events are held on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Lumpinee staged its first all-female fight card in 2021 and its first mixed martial arts event in 2022, reflecting the venue’s expanding role beyond traditional Muay Thai. Like Rajadamnern, Lumpinee functions simultaneously as a physical arena and an independent sanctioning body — it crowns its own champions, controls its own rankings, and sets the matchmaking for bouts contested inside its walls.
