Muay Thai in Hong Kong

I'm visiting Hong Kong the last week in January and would like to experience a Muay Thai event. Any info or direction on find one would be greatly appreciated.

Muay Thai is not regularly scheduled in Hong Kong. Do you know there's an event being held?

I'm not aware of anything going on, but not familiar with the best places to look either.

I'm not aware of any Thai boxing that goes on here on any sort of regular basis, I can ask around but I don't have too much hope.

I appreciate the help. Anything in the general area would be fine with me (ie. Macau, Kowloon, etc)...I didn't mention that earlier.

Are you still talking about Muay Thai? Your best bet is to fly to Thailand for it.

It's like trying to watch a baseball game in Hong Kong, Macau or China. You won't find it. You need to fly to Taiwan or Japan instead.

Well I'll be, there IS an event on January 20, see http://www.hkmuaythai.org/ and hope you read Chinese.....or are you the promoter of this?! I THINK this is in Hong Kong and I think it is in Wan Chai, but really can't be sure as I cannot read much. And if it is Wan Chai, I am not sure of the venue in Wan Chai. From the exit information they give for the Wan Chai MTR, I think it as the Southorn Playground on Johnston Road, but it could be the Lockhart Road Sports Centre on Lockhart Road, or even the Harbour Road Sports Centre on Harbour Road (also called the Wan Chai Sports Centre). It could even be Queen Elizabeth Stadium near Happy Valley Racecourse.

I may be totally wrong and this may be in a place outside Macau. Get the page translated.
