Professional WRESTLING in Bangkok, Thailand

Updated: Oct 16, 2023

Yes, Bangkok is home to a pretty amazing Wrestling association that puts on regular Wrestling shows for their fans! This event is a real treat and an amazing experience whether you into Wrestling or not.


As a wildly popular form of sports entertainment, professional wrestling has captured the hearts of fans around the world. Thailand is no exception! In fact, Thai people form a substantial fan base in South East Asia, and Bangkok has been home to numerous sold-out WWE (former WWF) Wrestling events.

SETUP: A Thai Wrestling Association


SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling was founded by Poomi-Prachaphum Bunyathat and Paksa-Pichet Kwayasin. These two individuals gathered Thai wrestlers under their association, fostering a small subculture of wrestling enthusiasts who share their passion. The association puts on Wrestling events in the Circus Studio, located in Lad Phrao!

P.S.: At the time of writing this article, I have visited two SETUP Wrestling events at the Circus Studio and there is no sale of food or drinks at the venue! Make sure to bring your own drinks or take a short hike to the 7-Eleven around the corner. (It is just a 5 Minute walk)

Patpong - The Secret History of Bangkok's Notorious Nightlife District šŸ’ƒšŸ»

This episode uncovers Patpong's evolution, from its roots in a banana plantation to one of Southeast Asia's most modern business & nightlife districts, which was center stage to covert CIA operations during the Secret War in Laos. Discover the impact of Air America, expat bars post-Vietnam War, and the notorious figures who called Patpong home. Join me as I interview the owner of the legendary Bar Madrid and a former Air America pilot, revealing untold stories of covert operations, nightlife, and infamous characters like Jack Shirley, Tony Poe & Charles Sobhraj, "The Serpent." Explore the intriguing intersections of history, war, and nightlife that shaped Patpong into the vibrant area it is today. āš ļøImportant Correction: Coppola denies that Poe was a primary influence for Colonel Kurtz and says the character was loosely based on Special Forces Colonel Robert B. Rheault. Although the similarities to Tony Poe are striking, and itā€™s widely stated online & in museums, it was never confirmed by the director himself. --------- šŸ“• Bangkok Babylon | Giveaway I give away one copy of this Bangkok classic by Jerry Hopkins, who encountered, talked to & wrote stories about many of the character from this episode.
