This will be an exciting event for all muay enthusiasts.
It is set in the beautiful, historical city of
Ayutthaya
about 1 hours drive north of
Bangkok.
It is to celebrate Nai
Khanom Tom or Muay Thai day .
On 17 March 1774, Khanom Tom, who had been captured by the Burmese and taken
hostage back to Burma,
was ordered by the Burmese king to take part in a great festival he was
staging.
With the king looking on, Khanom Tom defeated ten
Burmese fighters in succession.
This is regarded as the first occasion on which
Muay Thai skills were disseminated outside of Thailand.
The Burmese king was so impressed with this
that he granted Khanom Tom his freedom, also giving him a wife.
To this day March 17th is known as “Muay Thai day” and Khanom Tom
regarded as the father of Muay Thai, his statue can be found in the city
of Ayutthaya.
