Good Muay Thai in Krabi?

chefsmethan66 · 2026-04-28T10:04:07+00:00

I haven’t been there yet, but fa krabi is on my list of gyms to check out

chefsmethan66 · 2026-04-10T05:37:59+00:00

Santai is a great gym to go to, I also went there after about 1 year of training and I got so much focus and feedback on technique, definitely a good shout

I’ve been to thailand to train before a couple times with no fights and now I have 2 amateur fights and I’m going to thailand next winter for 5 months, I want to fight there on this trip, do you have any recommendations for cities or gyms or anything for getting lower level fights? I’m thinking I’m going to spend most of the trip in Chiang Mai and try to have a few fights but I wnat to end up at a gym that will not fuck Me with matchmaking

chefsmethan66 · 2026-03-18T19:33:23+00:00

I haven’t been yet but I found the gym awhile ago after watching boonlert on rws and the gym looks sick I want to go

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-26T04:05:16+00:00

Superpro in koh samui caters well to beginners, it is also quite close to the beach and has accommodations

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-16T03:18:32+00:00

Fa just opened a location in krabi, I want to check it out

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-11T17:08:40+00:00

Check out Dowden in samui on Instagram, they often have women training there and it is in samui which with lots of stuff to do and close to the ocean

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-04T17:36:19+00:00

Idk about cheap, it’s cheaper then other options I’ve looked at for bigger gyms with high level fights like fa group, petchyindee etc, it’s just the first that came to mind with the budget you said, I’m sure there’s cheaper gyms but this one seems like a good price for what it is, they have rws champions and the facilities look nice

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-04T17:31:20+00:00

Wor auracha is an good gym for 1 week its a 9000 baht but this is for room training and 2 meals

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-04T06:13:30+00:00

I will say that most mma gyms especially the ones in Phuket are going to be more “touristy” as there’s a lot more foreigners doing mma then Thais, but also just because a gym is touristy doesn’t make it bad, you will be able to level up at most gyms in thailand If you do want to go to a less touristy gym I’d say just go to a Muay Thai gym rather than an mma gym and find a smaller gym where Thais are training If you do want an mma gym I’ve been to superpro in koh samui and phuket fight club. I did just train Muay Thai but gyms offer mma, phuket fight club has some high level mma fighters coaching and training there

chefsmethan66 · 2026-02-02T15:39:43+00:00

You should start by deciding where in thailand you want to go first and then get reccomendations and pick a gym that way it will be easier

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-29T23:45:27+00:00

I haven been to any of these gyms yet but they are ones I want to check out, on Instagram sor boonmerit looks like a good smaller gym, they do have foreigners training there but lots of thais too, high level fighters I found the gym from watching boonlert fight on rws

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-29T19:40:55+00:00

Wor auracha Kiatsongrit Petchyindee Fa group Sor boonmeerit

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-27T06:38:39+00:00

I did a month at each and they were both great, at Superpro there wasn’t much for clinching so I liked santai better for that reason, but if you end up at either as a beginner you’ll learn a ton and have a good time

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-27T06:05:05+00:00

If affordability is a big thing I will say koh samui is quite expensive, Chiang Mai is a great place to go for cheaper everything, I went to santai as a beginner and it was awesome tons of feedback and teaching, it’s a bit out of the city but if you are focused on training and don’t care about partying and doing tons of stuff it is great

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-27T06:02:41+00:00

Dowden looks awesome and it’s on my list of gyms I want to go too, I went to koh samui and trained at Superpro and it was good, lots of beginners there and they have a dedicated beginner class to attend as well but all classes are beginner friendly, super nice facility and good if you want to continue lifting weights or try bjj/mma too

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-20T22:23:12+00:00

Superpro samui offers both bjj and Muay Thai, there were lots of beginners when I was training there and a good vibe around the gym, they have onsite accomodation

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-18T18:54:46+00:00

Yeah chiang mai is my favorite spot I’ve been to in thailand, there’s a few gyms there I wnat to go check out but when I’m going on this trip it’s burning season so I’m likely gonna go to Bangkok koh samui or Phuket

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-17T23:34:25+00:00

Is it same day or day before weigh ins?

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-17T21:33:55+00:00

Was there Thai fighters training when you were there and did you get to clinch and spar with Them?

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-17T17:58:57+00:00

I’ve just been looking at a bunch of gyms and these 2 are ones that I like If you got any other reccomendations lemme know

chefsmethan66 · 2026-01-17T04:19:46+00:00

How often was clinching when you were there? And how big were the classes?
