SUAN CHAO CHET BOXING STADIUM REGULATIONS AND RULES (1930)

In 1930, Thailand’s Ministry of the Interior published the “Suan Chao Chet Boxing Stadium Regulations and Rules.” This document was created to standardize Muay Thai competitions at Suan Chao Chet Stadium in Bangkok, which served as the official organizational model.

These regulations laid the foundation for the modernization of Muay Thai, bringing it closer to international boxing standards. They introduced practices that remain in use to this day, including the use of gloves, division into rounds, and scoring by judges.

Suan Chao Chet Stadium served as the experimental testing ground for these regulations prior to the افتتاح of Rajadamnern Stadium (1945) and Lumpinee Stadium (1956).
