Muay Thai and Strength Camp in Koh Samui

A typical day starts early. Monday, Wednesday and Friday sessions begin at 08:00, Tuesday and Thursday at 07:30, and Saturday at 08:00 after a 06:30 hike. Each Muay Thai session covers technique, pad work and conditioning drills, and the afternoon session at 16:30 is where you spar and drill with the camp's professional fighters. The 10:00 slot is strength and conditioning on most days, Hyrox on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What separates this from a drop-in gym is the structure around the training. You get a private one-to-one Muay Thai session every week, three onsen spa sessions weekly, and daily use of the 20m pool with sunbeds for the hours between sessions. Food is included three meals a day except Sundays, built around protein to support fight training.

The camp runs in partnership with Koh Fight, and the two-storey fitness centre is yours for the length of your stay. Groups are international — beginners, fitness enthusiasts, travelling martial artists and people preparing for local fights all train side by side.

The setting is deliberately quiet. The accommodation sits back in the jungle, away from the beach strip, so there is little to do but train, eat and recover. Lamai's beach and restaurants are a short ride away if you want them on a rest day.

Arrival day runs from Koh Samui airport, where a driver meets you with a welcome sign, then a transfer to Lamai. You check in, head straight to the gym, meet your instructor, tour the facility and take your first session.
