While Koh Samui may be known for its pristine beaches and lively nightlife, the island is also a great spot to watch the thrilling martial arts spectacle known as Muay Thai boxing. While the Chaweng Stadium is considered one of the best places to view this action packed sport, those in search of a Samui hotel or resort in the region can consider staying at Anantara Bophut Koh Samui. Ideally located right on the beach, this luxurious Samui resort lets you enjoy the very best the island has to offer.

Make sure to plan a visit to Chaweng where close to the Reggae Pub you will find the Chaweng Stadium. Here one can witness the true competitiveness, skill and mastery of authentic Muay Thai boxing in all its glory. Considered a national sport, Muay Thai is in fact an age old style of martial arts that has now become one of the most lively spectator sports in the country. A visit to the stadium not only gives you a chance to see competitors in action, but also soak up the colourful atmosphere which is very much a part of the experience. Generally taking place on Friday and Monday nights, Muay Thai fights also take place on Sundays in the peak season.
