History

Bangla Boxing Stadium was established to meet the rising demand for combat sports entertainment among tourists visiting Phuket. Strategically located in the heart of Patong, the stadium quickly became a nightlife attraction and a showcase venue for both traditional and modern Muay Thai bouts.^[3] In recent years, it has been managed in collaboration with Yokkao. The stadium has served as a launchpad for both local Thai fighters and foreign practitioners training in Thailand.^[4]^[5]^[6]

In response to capacity needs, Bangla Boxing Stadium was relocated from its original site on Bangla Road in Patong Beach to a larger venue behind Jungceylon Shopping Center, directly opposite Banzaan Fresh Market on Sai Kor Road.^[2] The new location offers improved infrastructure and expanded seating, while retaining the stadium's original "Bangla" name.^[7] Bangla Boxing Stadium typically hosts fights 3 to 4 nights a week.^[8]
