Day Trip – Ayutthaya For Under 200 Baht / $6 USD

We were originally going to take the train from Hua Lamphong station, but upon calling, we found out that the trains leaving in the morning only had space for Thai nationals, and foreigners like my friend and me were out of luck.

ABOUT US

Muay Ying is the first platform to focus on fighters that don’t get the attention they deserve, namely women fighters. Founded in 2016, this site was born out of frustration when finding inclusive and high quality news about professional fighters.

In addition to news and fight updates, Muay Ying provides information on training in Thailand, advice on how to prepare and sustain yourself during your trip, among many other topics. If there’s a topic you’d like to read more about, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Muay Ying also has chats with notable members in the Muay Thai community in Podcast form. You can find us on your favorite Podcast platform.

WHAT IS MUAY THAI?

มวยไทย
Thai boxing
The art of eight limbs

No matter what you call it, this sport has changed lives.

Driven by economical means in Thailand, children from poorer regions of the country start training and fighting to help support their families.

This sport with humble beginnings has grown exponentially all over the world. Although most non-Thais do not fight as an economical means, their passion for the sport has helped pave the way for Muay Thai to become profitable on the international scene.
