On August 5th, 2024, Muay Thai icon Buakaw Banchamek led a captivating Muay Thai showcase at Club France in Paris. The event, organized by the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) in collaboration with the French National Olympic Committee, featured virtual competition displays during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Muaythai has had a strong influence on neighboring Cambodia. Recently, Cambodians developed martial arts styles called Bokator and Kun Khmer, inspired by the widespread popularity of Muaythai—especially after the release of the world-famous Thai movie Ong Bak, starring Tony Jaa, in 2003. This is why Bokator and Kun Khmer are often seen as the copy version of Muaythai from Thailand.
