Max Muay Thai (Thai: แม็กซ์ มวยไทย) is a stadium and organizer of Muay Thai based in Pattaya, Thailand broadcast from its own stadium on Channel 8 every Sunday.[2] The promotion has been credited for elevating the level of entertainment of Muaythai and to have modernized the way it was presented in the Thailand.[3] The stadium was an important venue outside of the elite Muay Thai scene in Bangkok. After a fire destroyed the stadium, operations ceased in December 2020.[4][5]

History

In November 2014, the Max Muaythai Stadium was opened under the management of Mr. Nawat Thaochareeonsuk and Mr. Piyachart Srichan.[6] Unlike the weekly Muay Thai programs from Rajadamnern Stadium and Lumpinee Stadium, Max Muay Thai reduced the length of its matches to 3-rounds bouts and added ring girls more commonly seen in western promotions.[7] In 2018, after the separation of the Channel 8 TV coverage team from Max Muay Thai, a new competitor named Super Champ Muay Thai was launched in Bangkok.[8] Channel 8 is the official broadcaster of the promotion, televised every Sunday.[9][2] After a fire destroyed the stadium, the promotion ceased operations in December 2020, but was expecting to re-start activities in 2022.[4]

On February 18, 2016, a fire broke out at the Max Muay Thai Stadium in Pattaya and completely destroyed the venue causing damage estimated at 200 million Thai baht.[10] It is believed that technicians were servicing the air-conditioning units in the back when the compressor exploded which started the fire.[6] The incident left the Manager of the venue and 3 other staff with minor injuries and possible carbon monoxide poisoning.[11][12] The stadium had no fire insurance.[9]
