During the early part of the Ayutthaya period the Department of Royal Boxing
was founded. One of its responsibilities was to recruit young talented boxers to
fight for the King’s entertainment. The top boxers were chosen for the Royal
Quarries, called Thani Lir (chosen guards). They were responsible for the security
of the royal palace and the King at all times. These boxers were to become the
boxing masters who trained the soldiers and the Princes.
In the later part of the Ayutthaya Period, after the second loss to Burma in B.E.
