Watching Muay Thai live was next level! Section 8/9 had perfect views and I was shocked that my ticket covered 9 different fights - talk about getting your money's worth! The crowd was electric, everyone shouting and cheering together. Loved the host who kept things hyped with actual dance skills. Quick hack: If u need to request specific seats, u can try your luck at the counter, they can try to make adjustments for you. If you're on the fence about booking, just do it - unforgettable night that won't break the bank!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
