Phuket is easily one of the best places in the world to spend a month (or even just a week) training Muay Thai. I’ve seen everything from people squeezed for time between flights to serious fighters moving here for the long haul. The island has camps that fit pretty much any budget or fitness level.

I’ve put together this guide to help you figure out the logistics. We’ll look at the actual costs, what your day-to-day life will look like, and which gyms are actually worth your time based on what you’re trying to achieve.

Why train in Phuket?

Phuket has more than 50 Muay Thai gyms. Honestly, nowhere else outside of Bangkok even comes close. Having that many options in one place is what makes the island the go-to spot for a training holiday.

It isn't just about the sheer number of gyms, though. You’re learning from coaches who are often former stadium champions, living costs are still relatively low, and you can spend your rest days on some of the best beaches in Thailand. Most camps are very used to international visitors, so you won't have to worry about a language barrier while you're trying to learn your roundhouse kicks.

Choosing your package

1-week packages (7 days)

A week is usually enough if you just want to see if you actually like Muay Thai, or if you're just looking for a brutal fitness reset.

What you get: Most gyms run two sessions a day, morning and afternoon. You’ll probably end up doing 10 to 12 sessions over the week.

Actual costs: Expect to pay between 3,000 and 8,000 THB for the training. If you stay at the camp, that price jumps to anywhere from 8,000 to 25,000 THB.

2-week packages (14 days)

Two weeks is the sweet spot for most people. It's enough time to actually remember the basics without your body completely giving up on you.

Actual costs: Training only is usually 5,500 to 14,000 THB. With a room, you’re looking at 15,000 to 45,000 THB.

1-month packages (30 days)

A full month is for the dedicated. You're either training for a fight, or you're one of those remote workers who likes to hit pads before opening a laptop.

Actual costs: 8,000 to 20,000 THB for training. If you want on-site accommodation, it'll cost you between 25,000 and 80,000 THB.

A day in the life at camp

Morning session (7:00 to 9:30 AM): Usually starts with a run or skipping, then shadow boxing, pad work, heavy bags, clinching, and a bit of conditioning to finish.

Afternoon session (3:30 to 6:00 PM): More technical work, partner drills, sparring, and another round of conditioning.

Most gyms train Monday through Saturday. Sunday is for sleep and the beach.

The best gyms in Phuket

For beginners and fitness

  • Tiger Muay Thai & MMA: This place is massive. It’s great if you like structured classes and having every facility you could ever need in one spot.
  • Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA: A bit more personal than Tiger, with smaller classes and a lot of focus on individual attention.

For serious fighters

  • Sitsongpeenong Muay Thai Camp: This is a proper competition camp. If your goal is to actually get in the ring, start here.
  • AKA Thailand: They mix Muay Thai with MMA. You’ll often see UFC fighters wandering around here.
  • Sumalee Boxing Gym: A boutique-style camp that keeps things authentic but has much nicer rooms than your average gym.

Best value for money

A few tips before you book

Book ahead for high season. Between November and March, the good camps fill up fast. Try to book at least a month out.

Take it easy at first. The Phuket heat is no joke. Don't try to be a hero on day one (start with one session a day for the first 48 hours).

Don't ignore your body. Injuries happen when you're exhausted. A rest day is better than a week on the sidelines with a torn calf.
