Muay Thai: Woodwind Instrument Music for Thai Boxing

Another important part of Muay Thai is the background music. There are two types of Muay Thai music; one is the "wai-kru / rum-muay" music, which the fighters will perform the pre-fight homage gesture and going through the motion of ceremonial dance, the other part of the music is played during the fight to enhance the excitement. These two parts of the music are precisely prescribed by the tradition and the teachers of old. Any diversion from this is considered a flaunt and disrespect.
