About the place
Before every fight you can see the Wai Khru Ram Muay, a ritual in which the fighter honors his teachers, past and present. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the fighter circles the ring three times, then kneels and bows as a sign of respect. The sequence begins by honoring the earth, continues to the teacher, includes movements to ward off spirits, and ends with a salute to the musicians.
A live orchestra plays during the ritual, the dance and all the fights. The instruments listed on the Tourism Authority's site are a two-sided drum, the pi java (a wind instrument) and cymbals.
According to the website of Asset World Corp, which lists the Tawanna Bangkapi market among its properties, World Siam Stadium is inside a community market on Lat Phrao Road, near the Bang Kapi intersection.
