Muay Thai in Chiang Mai

[ByblosYuNaiSoi]

Hello,

I want to go to the most "authentic" muay thai matches in the city of Chiang Mai. My only other exposure was the Lumphini Stadium's last night of existence, and I found it really interesting. I am pretty certain the Night Bazaar venue is not what I'm looking for - seems very tourist-oriented, sourrounded by bars, etc.

I am hoping the place would be of mostly local interest, and have live music (shawms/reed pipes, drums, cymbals) and chanting spectators like at Lumphini!

Thanks for your suggestions.

Kawila Stadium, though fights are now not so regular.

Facebook page suggests 12th February for a 100,000B fight.

Also a stadium in Santitham, but I don't know the details. Lots of Thai vs Foreigner fights going on there,

There is a Muay Thai stadium next to the Tops in Santitham but I think it is a tourist show for the Chinese as it is next to the Ladyboy theatre that the Chinese tourists like visiting
