Amazing atmosphere, amazing people, and an amazing location. We did an intensive week of Muay Thai here, and it was an incredible experience. The coaches are very attentive and strict, as well as truly welcoming, and here's a little bonus: the gym is right on the edge of a rice paddy, which gives it a really nice, rural feel.

How much does a Muay Thai class cost in Chiang Mai? +
Drop-in classes around Chiang Mai typically cost 300 to 700 THB. Our exact prices (per class, per pack and per month, for adults, kids and fighters) are listed in full just above, in the pricing section. No hidden fees.
Do I need experience to join a class? +
No. Most of our members started as complete beginners, and our coaches meet you exactly where you are. If it's your very first time, our beginner guide shows you exactly what your first class looks like.
Is Chiang Mai good for Muay Thai? +
Yes. Northern Thailand is part of Muay Thai's heartland, the city is full of authentic gyms with Thai coaches, and the low cost of living makes it easy to train for weeks or months. It's one of the most popular places in the world to learn the sport.
Which is the best Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai? +
Honestly, it depends on what you want. If you're chasing a high-volume fighter camp, several big-name gyms do that well. Our Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai is for something else: an open-air, woman-run, family-friendly camp where beginners, women and kids are genuinely looked after, not an intensive fight factory. The best gym is the one that fits you.
Can my kids train too? +
Yes. Our Kids & Family program is built for them, with playful, safe sessions. Parents can train in the same time slot, so the whole family can come together. Just message us with your kids' ages and we'll point you to the right class.
Are there Muay Thai fights in Chiang Mai? +
Yes, most nights of the week. Chiang Mai has several boxing stadiums, from the Thapae and Loi Kroh area in the city to the bigger fight nights at Chiang Mai Boxing Stadium. Some cards are shows for tourists, others feature real local fighters, so ask your coach which night is worth it. Our guests fight in these stadiums too: see the fighters guest book. Meet our fighters
Am I too old to start Muay Thai? +
Almost certainly not. We welcome complete beginners in their 30s, 40s and beyond. You set the pace: technique, pads and fitness first, and sparring only if and when you want it. Tell us about any old injuries before your first class and the coaches will adapt the session. Your first Muay Thai class, explained
Ready when you are —
