    This is really a tip: Nai kanom Thom day in ayutthaya on March 17. I can recommend anyone who has the opportunity to go here. The 2 fighters in the picture are supan (Thai) and mami (Japanese) they are married to each other and provide the most beautiful shows and they also give clinics muay boran (traditional muay Thai). The whole day is dedicated to muay boran, spectacle and shows and is free for everyone! (gift from the governor and the tourism office) In the evening an incredibly beautiful light show, where the battle between Burma and Thailand is reenacted. Complete with elephants and real weapons.
