Muay Thai Doll House Located in the city along the Chao Phraya River in Ang Thong Province, there is a unique place unlike any other: the "Muay Thai Doll House" (บ้านตุ๊กตามวยคาดเชือก). This is the home of Master Bandit Kosol Sit, a skilled doll maker who specializes in creating intricate and beautiful Muay Thai dolls. The house is filled with small Muay Thai dolls, meticulously crafted with love and a deep passion for the art of Muay Thai.

 

Master Bandit began learning the craft from his mother, who was proficient in making royal court dolls—a traditional knowledge passed down for generations. Creating dolls in various forms, such as fishermen or old women spinning yarn, is a way of preserving Thai culture amidst a changing world. As Master Bandit grew older, his creativity blossomed. He began crafting Muay Thai dolls, inspired by his childhood experiences as part of the temple community.

 

The Muay Thai dolls at the Muay Thai Doll House are finely detailed and beautiful. They are not just artworks reflecting the grace of Muay Thai, but also serve as tools for learning and studying Muay Thai techniques. Master Bandit carefully studied the movements of Muay Thai and consulted with boxing teachers to create the most accurate depictions. His collection includes more than 80 different Muay Thai poses, such as "Rama Walking in the Forest," "Eagle Breaking the Nest," "Crocodile Tail Strike," and other movements that showcase the beauty of Muay Thai's dynamic techniques.

 

In addition to being a distinctive work of art, the Muay Thai dolls have evolved with time. Master Bandit has transitioned from using clay to resin for the dolls to make them more durable and resilient. He also uses these dolls to create trophies for Muay Thai competitions.

 

The work from the Muay Thai Doll House has gained national recognition and has become a symbol of preserving and continuing the art of Muay Thai in the modern era. For those interested in the art of Muay Thai doll-making, you can visit the Muay Thai Doll House at 7 Bang Sedet, Pa Mok District, Ang Thong Province. Here, you can admire Master Bandit's creations and learn firsthand about the process of crafting Muay Thai dolls.
