On May 7, 2024, Ambassador Ureerat Chareontoh visited the Eminent Air Boxing Gym at the invitation of Mr. Spencer Tay, Committee Chairman of the World Boxing Council (WBC) Muaythai Singapore who paid a courtesy call on the Ambassador on 22 April 2024 to discuss plans for co-organizing a Muaythai Festival in Singapore, to be held on the Royal Thai Embassy's grounds.

The festival aims to promote and showcase Muaythai, which is not only a unique and inclusive contact sport and martial art but also a reflection of Thai cultural values. The event will provide Muaythai athletes in Singapore with a safe and competitive platform to hone their skills and elevate their standards to an international level.

The Royal Thai Embassy is fully committed to working closely with all stakeholders and partners in Singapore to promote Muaythai. Beyond being a sport and martial art, Muaythai embodies cultural values and serves as an important diplomatic tool for Thailand to enhance people-to-people understanding and friendly relations with countries worldwide. The popularity of Muaythai in Singapore is on the rise, with over 50 Muaythai gyms currently operating nationwide and widely practiced by Singaporeans and foreigners residing in the country.

For those who are fans of Muaythai or interested in learning more about it, please stay tuned for updates on our Inaugural Muaythai Festival in Singapore. Further details will be released in due course.
