King Narai

The Great Era (B.E. 2147-2233, 1604-1690 CE)
During this period Thailand was very much at peace and there were many
developments in the Kingdom. King Narai supported and promoted sports,
especially MuayThai, which became a professional sport. At this time there were
many boxing training centers. The boxing ring was set up in regular playgrounds
where a rope would be laid out in a square shape to indicate the fighting area.
Boxers wrapped their hands with threads that were dipped in thick starch or tar.
