From this setback comes one of the most brilliant ways of counting the time and duration of the fighting. Each "round" took the time that a coconut shell with a hole in the center floated in a basin of water. When the coconut shell sank, a drum or bell would mark its end. At this point it was not important the number of rounds *, the fighters continued to fight until an undisputed winner appeared, that is, until one of them desist. According to the opinion of leading historians, the golden period of Muay Thai in Thailand, or at least one of the best documented, was lived at the time of Rama V, the Chulachomklao. This sovereign reigned from 1868 to 1910 and learned muay thai in the academy of the master Luang Póla Yotanuyoke. He enjoyed watching boxing matches and regularly organized recruiting tournaments for the Royal Guard Corps. The victors had a place secured in the body of the royal guard of his majesty. Rama V encouraged the creation of the muay luang, which were real boxing centers.
* Stipulated time for two athletes of a contact art, to dispute one of several periods of fight, between pre-defined stops.Anything to which we would today give the name of gyms club. The royal department could also invite muay luang athletes to private events and galas. The winners were decorated by his majesty the king and won a title denominated "muen", that meant first class. In 1887 Rama V created the department of education and muay thai became one of the disciplines of physical education. The Muay Thai also entered World War I, which took place in the time of King Rama VI. King Mongkhut Klaochao Yu Hua reigned from 1910 to 1925 and the Thai army was stationed in France under the command of General Praya Dhepasadin. Lover of the muay thai, this general did not want to stay away from his art and organized combats during the war to entertain the soldiers. European soldiers who had never seen anything like it liked the techniques and can point to this, as the first time the Muay Thai haunted Europeans.
