What it is
The first of Bangkok's two ranking stadiums, off Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue, north of the old royal district.
The long version
A title at Rajadamnern is one of the two belts that settle an argument in Thailand — the other is at Lumpinee — and a fighter who holds both at once is having a career other people will describe for the rest of his life.
Inference — the stadium's address is the point of it. Ratchadamnoen is the processional avenue built under Rama V on the model of a European boulevard, and putting the national sport's ring on it in the 1940s is a statement about what the sport was being made into.
