'''Muay Thai''' is a traditional [[Thailand|Thai]] [[Martial arts|martial art]], and is the national sport of Thailand.
It is very much like [[boxing]], except that it also uses kicks, and elbow strikes are also used. The [[clinch]] is also used more often than in boxing. Muay Thai is also well-known for its pre-fight ritual (''wai khru''), which consists of a stylized dance and [[Buddhist]] prayer.

Muay Thai is also practiced in nearby Southeast Asian countries, but has a different name in the country it is practiced in. For example, it is called ''[[Pradal serey]]'' in [[Cambodia]], ''[[Tomoi]]'' in [[Malaysia]], ''[[Lethwei]]'' in [[Burma]], and ''Muay Lao'' in [[Laos]].
