30-Day Muay Thai & Fitness Transformation Retreat in Thailand

The core of this retreat is the Muay Thai training, which happens twice a day from Monday to Saturday, with a single afternoon class on Sundays. The Keawma family has been involved in fighting and training for decades, and the gym's head trainer, Pau, has been fighting since the age of four. The training is designed for all levels, from complete beginners to professional fighters. You'll learn shadow boxing, bag work, and one-on-one pad work, mixed with HIIT and conditioning. There are also technique classes that cover grappling and sparring. If you're interested in competing, the gym can prepare you for local carnival fights, where the whole camp will come out to cheer you on.

On top of the boxing, there are plenty of other ways to stay active. The 'Buddha Run Challenge' involves climbing 300 steep steps to a hillside temple as many times as you can in an hour. There are countryside walks, a jungle trail that leads to a waterfall, and mountain biking through the rice fields. The gym also has a truck push for functional strength, and there's a well-equipped gym with climbing ropes, pull-up bars, and weights for use in your free time. A five-day optional 'Raw-Fest' detox is included, where you'll eat only fresh fruits and vegetables from the local markets.

The retreat is well-organized, with daily schedules that balance training with rest. Sundays are a rest day, but there's still a cultural excursion, like a trip to meet the only English-speaking monk in the province, a visit to a beautiful lake, or a hot spring. The weekly itinerary includes lots of small touches, like a morning market tour, a night market trip, and a cooking class. The guides are knowledgeable and keep the energy high.

The accommodation is in private lodges with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. There are two main areas: the Kaewma Farm lodges, which are close to the yoga shala and Noi's Cafe, and the Wijittra Resort rooms, which are right by the pool. Both are comfortable and clean, with daily housekeeping. The property includes a restaurant, a pool, free wifi, and a garden. It's a peaceful setting that's perfect for focusing on your training and recovery.
