Hi Marcel,
Yes there are two stadiums at Chaweng, I went to the one close to the Ark bar near the beach. The other stadium is further away from the beach area, so i can't comment on that. The ticket cost was, as I remember, about 1500 bht for a normal seat and 2000bht for a VIP seat. The only difference I could see was the VIP seats were ring side. So you got sprayed in sweat and blood etc when the fighters got hit and because you were closer to the ring I don't think, in my opinion, you got as good a view as sitting a little further back. By further back you are talking about 5 metres further away, so it doesn't detract from the experience. At the stadium I visited I don't think they fought every night, I went on a Tuesday but they also held fights on the Friday and I think the Saturday nights. I've no idea about the other stadium. If you get there for about 9pm the bouts start at about 9:30pm, which is plenty of time.
Hope this helps.
