The Golden Mongkhon Hall of Honour Award Ceremony was a proud and meaningful event dedicated to recognising individuals who have played an important role in the growth of Muay Thai in India. Organised by Golden Mongkhon International, the ceremony reflected the organisation’s clear mission to honour achievement, commitment, and long-term contribution to the sport.
Over the years, Golden Mongkhon has steadily grown into a strong platform for athletes, coaches, officials, and organisers. As a result, this award ceremony was created not only to celebrate success but also to recognise the people who have helped shape Indian Muay Thai at every level. Moreover, it served as a moment to look back with respect while moving forward with purpose.
Two Categories of Recognition
To ensure fair and meaningful appreciation, the ceremony featured two distinct award categories. While each category had a different focus, both carried equal importance in recognising contribution to the sport.
