The Royal Thai Army will host (with the support of Thailand’s Tourism Authority and the WBC MuayThai) the inaugural Amazing MuayThai Festival in Hua Hin from February 2-6, 2023.

 

Global Muay Thai star Buakaw Banchamek will be there on February 6 to lead the most prominent outdoor gathering of the Wai Kru Ceremony to celebrate February 6 as the annual Muay Thai Day in the Kingdom of Thailand.

 

“The highlight will be the world’s largest wai-kru ceremony performed by 5,000 Muay Thai boxers on Feb 6, which will set a Guinness World Record,” said army chief Narongpan Jitkaewthae, who announced the event.

 

Muay Thai legend Saenchai will lead the daily morning Muay Thai training on the beach (February 2, 3, and 6), where he will be assisted by Sittichai Sitsongpeenong, Kem Sitsongpeenong, Thananchai Sitsongpeenong and Satanfah Sitsongpeenong in a truly unique opportunity to train with Muay Thai superstars on a private Thai beach.

Private beach? Presumably the beach accessed via the Army owned rec centre at Suan Son Pradiphat?
