Narongphan Jitkaewthai, the commander of the Army, ordered the cancellation of 2 Thai boxing stadiums, Adisorn Camp, Saraburi Province and Suranaree Camp, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, including closing. Suranaree Camp Race Course Korat Cancels Horse Racing Including a lightning announcement, preparing to close the Lumpini Boxing Stadium Not allowing a Thai boxing tournament to sweep away gambling And mafia The Royal Thai Army plans to develop the Lumpini Boxing Stadium, located at the 11th Infantry Regiment, Royal Guard, Ram Inthra Km 2 Road as a sports development center. That is useful to the public, such as parks to continue exercising The announcement of the Royal Thai Army caused tremors in the Muay Thai circle a lot. Muay Thai people were very panicked.
“Big Ting”, Lieutenant General Santiphong Thampiya, spokesman for the Army, revealed that the Army has plans to develop Lumpini Boxing Stadium. To be a sports development center For the best interest of the people It is in the process of setting up a committee to study how operations will be Which will collect various information That it can be developed into a development center for various sports How do you get it Or need to study and see if there are any problems with the contract or not Confirm that the committee is now studying the information. Which will have to proceed in accordance with the time frame And still have nothing to do Or do not do this now for Lumpini Boxing Stadium
Lt. Gen. Santipong said that for the framework of the Army reform plan in a three-year period to adapt the approach to the modern army, address threats and respond to government policy. From October 1, 2020 to 30 September 2023, in 2021 will focus on organizing and clearly defined work plans, then the year 2022 focuses on plans. And principles to reform the army in all dimensions and the year 2023 brings the results of action to revision
Furthermore, in addition to the Army began to sweep away gambling and shake the Thai boxing industry. And the horse racing industry, the Army is also preparing to turn 36 golf courses in the military camp into commercial business. Let the private sector take action And send income to the Treasury Department Start at Suan Son Pradipat Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and the other 2 places at the Ramintra Royal Thai Army Golf Course and Lanna Golf Club 33 Kavila Camp, Chiang Mai Province, are in the process of preparing the remaining 33 documents that are still welfare within the unit. The clear policy is Will not involve the Army in sports betting But consider bringing the area to use for the people as much as possible
While comments from people of Muay Thai On the side of “Hia Chun”, Mr. Peerapong Thiradetpong, promoter Suekkiatphet, said it was a pity if Lumpini Boxing Stadium was actually closed. Because if talking about Muay Thai, you must think of Lumpini Boxing Stadium. Foreigners when traveling to watch Muay Thai Must have a look at Lumpini Boxing Stadium If there is no Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, you will have to go see Phuthon Boxing Stadium instead. Personally, I think that it is not, and also the boxer who can fight at Lumpini There is a fee of two hundred thousand. If the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is closed, he will go to the Phuthon Boxing Stadium. There would be no one to fight the value.
“Sia Nao” Mr. Wirat Wachiraratanawong, legendary promoter of Thai fist circles The founder of Petchyindee Boxing Gym said that right now there is no immediate comment on the matter. Which has to wait for clarity from the Army first
As for “Sia Boat”, Mr. Nuttadej Wachiraratanawong, promoter of boxing at Petchyindee Camp, the son of “Sia Nao”, said Wirat said that he knew this, along with everyone, who, as a person in the boxing industry, accepted that it was. The heartbreaking story despite not having anything to do with Lumpinee Boxing Stadium Which he was born and raised in boxing Followed his father to the boxing stadium from a small age. At the age of 3-4 years, as far as I can remember, he ran in the Lumpinee boxing stadium and admitted that he has a strong connection to Lumpinee Boxing Stadium
Mr. Nuttadej said he would like to ask Gen. Narongphan Jitkaewthaea, commander of the Army Think about it one more time. Personally think Lumpinee Boxing Stadium should continue to be with Thailand. Because today the Muay Thai industry is already worsening Hundreds of boxers all stopped fighting. Just like with boxing camps, promoters have gradually quit. If the boxing stadium closes again, it will become even worse. See that Lumpini Boxing Stadium Or that Ratchadamnoen Boxing Stadium Considered to be the main institution of Muay Thai If the institute does not exist, how will the Muay Thai community be together?
Mr. Amnuay Ketsbumrung, Mr. Rangsit International Boxing Stadium, revealed that he saw the news that the boxing camp at Adisorn. And the Suranaree Camp boxing stadium collapsed and no longer had a boxing match In addition, there was news that the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium might collapse. I was shocked and thought, why not promote Not preserving the precious heritage of the Thai people Muay Thai is a tradition Is the wisdom of the Thai people Foreigners from all over the world adore Muay Thai. To agree to cross the sea, the cost is enormous To learn Muay Thai, but real Thai people do not promote Even though it’s a military boxing ring Belonging to government officials Will claim to not make any income It’s not a reason
Mr. Amnuay said that although he may have some expenses greater than his income. And may think that a loss, but not at all, it is a serious mistake Only foreigners are crazy about Muay Thai Fly marion boxing Fly to watch boxing in Thailand just this. Personally, I think It is already a huge profit. The reputation of Muay Thai has resounded throughout the world. It is a profit that no other nation can match. Therefore asked the competent adults to revisit it again. It will be very good for the country And if had the opportunity to join and consult as well May have some benefits to boxing He felt worried and sad, and did not want the wisdom of the Thai ancestors to die.
“Someone called me. Congratulate me as Lumpinee Boxing Stadium will collapse. It is my chance to develop Rangsit Boxing Stadium to be the number 2 in the country. I immediately responded that I am very sorry. How do you think about the collapse of Lumpinee Boxing Stadium despite the fact that Muay Thai is a national heritage? The reputation of Muay Thai is famous all over the world. I do not agree I would be very sad Also, it is a boxing stadium in the military line of the government. The Army has to set a budget to seriously promote Muay Thai without making any profit to the real army. I urge the elders of the army to revisit. And turn to establish a Thai boxing promotion fund seriously “
Mr. Rangsit Boxing Stadium added that Simply put, foreigners like Thai boxing. Just as this is a huge profit. Thailand if there is no Thai boxing How many people will in this world know Thailand? Muay Thai has gained a worldwide reputation. Muay Thai is like a national treasure. The government has to look at the nation. The government sector must support The government sector must set up a promotion fund
“Phayak Na Yok” Samart Payak Arun, a former well-known Thai boxer from Lumpinee boxing ring, said that it is still unknown from the Army. Therefore, we do not express any comments on this matter.
