Muay Thai Training Camp in Chiang Mai with Accommodation

A typical day starts early. Morning session runs before the heat sets in and covers skipping, warm-ups, technique drills on punches, kicks, elbows and knees, then pad work and bag rounds. Afternoon session is longer and heavier: more pads, clinch practice, and sparring for those who are ready. Sunday is off.

Trainers correct you constantly — footwork, guard, hip rotation on kicks. Beginners get the fundamentals drilled until they stick. More experienced students move into intensive sparring and fight strategy. The gym has produced and trained fighters who compete in Thailand, and the standard is high, but the instruction is patient enough for someone who has never thrown a punch.

What separates this from a resort Muay Thai class is the volume and the setting. You are in the home of the sport, training alongside Thai fighters and long-stay students, in a gym that has been doing this for years. The accommodation is basic to comfortable depending on what you book — shared fighter rooms at the low end, a pool villa at the top — and all of it is a short walk from the mats.

Chiang Mai itself is a 20–30 minute ride away. On rest days or after training you can get to the Saturday Night Market, hot springs, temples, or just eat your way through the city. Scooters can be rented from the gym, and they will pick you up from the airport or anywhere in Chiang Mai when you arrive.
