Hmm, I'm not sure. My friend did an amature thai fight but his was underground so I'm not sure if the head gear was mandatory, he didn't wear head gear. In Thailand amature doesn't wear head gear.

Hmm... how could I have done muay thai for 4 years and not know a straight answer to question?

It depends on the state and or promoter. I've had many amateur thai fights. Some required head gear others didn't.

You're welcome and good luck! Keep your hands up and go into the fight with good cardio and you will do fine.
