WINKO Steps Into the Ring
SAT Sports Tourism Festival 2026 - Chanthaburi
WINKO fightwear in the Muay Thai ring.
WINKO supplied Muay Thai shorts, boxing gloves and ring branding for the fights at the SAT Sports Tourism Festival 2026 in Chanthaburi, Thailand.
The first two nights featured five bouts each, with fighters competing in opposing hot pink and electric blue WINKO kits.
From the Wai Kru to the knockout finishes, we got to see the equipment we had designed being used in competition. That meant a lot to us.
Before the fights
The Wai Kru
Fighters wore mongkhons, the traditional headpieces, and prajiad armbands. Some performed elaborate Wai Kru routines; others kept them simple.
Watching these traditions up close, with fighters wearing WINKO, was a particularly meaningful part of the event for us.
We had spent so much time designing the shorts, gloves and equipment. Seeing them worn through the Wai Kru and into the fights made this feel like a real step forward for WINKO.
The fightwear
Hot pink vs electric blue
We designed contrasting shorts and gloves for the opposing corners. Both male and female fighters wore the WINKO kits across the two nights.
The ring
WINKO beyond the fightwear
Our involvement also included the ring branding. WINKO logos ran along the ropes, with hot pink and electric blue used throughout the setup.
It was a chance to bring the shorts, gloves and ring design together at one event.
Chanthaburi 2026
A milestone for WINKO
The ring card presenters wore WINKO too, with pink and black shorts that matched the colours around the ring.
Across ten bouts, we watched fighters compete, win and score knockouts in our equipment. As a Muay Thai brand, that was exciting to see.
Thank you to the fighters and everyone who helped bring the event together.
