‘Thai Boxing’ or ‘Muay Thai’ is globally known for a cultural martial art of Thailand that draws strength, agility and fighting abilities into the boxing ring. Basically, the technique requires almost entire parts of the body to work without using any weaponry. As this combat sport can cause deadly harm to fighters, a spiritual, meditative aspect to the discipline is a must. Muay Thai is considered intangible cultural heritage that has long been recognized outside this ‘Land of Smiles’.
