Plan it
Getting to the Ao Nang stadium
How to plan the practical side of a Muay Thai night in Ao Nang: the address, the ticket swap, what is not included and how to fit it around a Krabi stay.
Choose your fight night ↗Quick answer
The stadium is inside the Ao Nang Landmark complex in Ao Nang, Krabi. Arrive early to swap your mobile voucher for a paper ticket at the counter. Hotel transfers, food and drinks are not included, and there is no re-entry once you leave. Allow time before the first bout, and check the calendar, because fight nights run on selected evenings only.
Where the stadium is
The booking page places the stadium inside the Ao Nang Landmark complex in Ao Nang, Krabi. Wikipedia describes Ao Nang as a resort town and a subdistrict of Mueang Krabi District, with a town layout of mainly one main street lined with restaurants, bars and shops. That makes Ao Nang easy to understand on a map. The voucher carries the exact address, so show it to a driver or a hotel desk if you are unsure.
Getting there from your hotel
You arrange your own transport both ways, because transfers are not part of the ticket. Ask the front desk how guests usually reach Ao Nang Landmark and how they get back once the card ends; the return leg is the part visitors forget. Routes and fares are not given here, since the booking page does not publish them.
The ticket swap
After booking you receive a mobile voucher. At the stadium it is exchanged for a physical ticket at the counter. That is why the booking page says to arrive early. Queues at a counter can build before the first bout, and a late arrival risks missing the start. Keep the paper ticket with you, because it is what lets you into the seats.
What is not included
The ticket covers one seat. Hotel transfers, food and drinks are not included. Plan to eat beforehand or to buy on site. Guests who have booked this night describe drinks brought to their seats, so you can expect a drink service, though the booking page lists drinks as not included in the ticket.
No re-entry
Once you leave the stadium you cannot come back in. That affects everything from a phone call outside to a food run. Do what you need to do before you take your seat, and decide whether you want to stay for the whole card, since leaving early means you cannot return.
Choosing an evening
Fight nights run on selected evenings only. The booking calendar shows which dates have a card, and this guide does not name days because the schedule belongs to the stadium. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before, so you can book once you have a plan and change it if your holiday shifts.
Fitting it into a Krabi stay
Many visitors use Ao Nang as a base for boat trips to Railay, Phra Nang and the islands. Wikipedia says Krabi's high season runs from November to April and the green season from May to October. Day trips by boat are weather dependent, so book the boat days first and then add a fight night on a separate evening. The boat trips on this site fill a day or an evening, not both.
What to wear and bring
No dress code is listed on the booking page. Dress for an indoor evening and a crowd, and bring your voucher on your phone with some battery left. Carry cash or a card for drinks. If you are sensitive to noise, expect a lively crowd and loud music.
If you have children with you
Adults and children use the same ticket type, so each child needs a seat. Think about the noise, the possible youth bouts and the lack of re-entry before bringing young children. The guide on young fighters covers the question in more detail.
Who this isn't for
If you want a night with transfers and dinner arranged for you, this ticket is not that. It is a seat, and the rest is up to you. If you would rather have a tour that collects you from your hotel, look at the boat trips, whose booking pages describe their own meeting arrangements.
