Where to Train Muay Thai in Bangkok: 17 Gyms Worth Your Time

December 4, 2025

If you want a Muay Thai trip that feels real, but still lets you enjoy the city, Bangkok is the perfect base. You can train seriously in the morning, recover with great Thai food at lunch, and explore the city’s famous landmarks in the afternoon. Whether you’re staying near Sukhumvit, Ari, the riverside, or just outside the city center, there’s a gym that matches your vibe and your routine.

Below is a curated list of 17 partner gyms in Bangkok, so every gym has its spotlight, and every traveler can find the right match.

Choose Your Bangkok Gym by Goal / Location / Time

Pick 3 things and you’ll find the right gym fast:

  1. Pick your Goal
    • Fit & Fun (Beginner-friendly): structured class, good coaching, comfortable first experience
    • Skills & Technique: sharper basics, cleaner form, real progress session by session
    • Camp Vibe / Serious Training: harder conditioning, more clinch, “train-eat-rest-repeat” lifestyle
    • Hybrid Fitness: Muay Thai + strength/cardio in a modern gym environment

  2. Pick your Location

    Bangkok is big, so your best gym is often the one that’s closest to your daily route (BTS/MRT or short ride). Choose a zone that matches where you sleep and where you plan to explore.

  3. Pick your Time
    • Morning training: best if you want sightseeing afternoons
    • Evening training: best if you explore all day and train later
    • Flexible schedule: best for remote workers or long-stay travelers who can train twice a day
    • Camp Week / Train-All-Day: best if you’re buying a weekly package and want a full training routine—multiple sessions a day, recovery-focused meals, and a structured week. Great for real progress or a “live like a fighter” experience.

Bangkok is one of the rare cities where you can train seriously and still feel like you’re on a holiday. After a hard session your “recovery plan” can be just as exciting: light walking, good food, culture, and a calmer evening so you’re ready to go again tomorrow. If you’re a foodie, make Yaowarat (Bangkok Chinatown) your post-training reward. It’s perfect for a “train → shower → food adventure” routine, especially on nights when you want something fun but not too far. For a more relaxed, thoughtful day between sessions, Bangkok’s museums or parks are surprisingly good.

And if you’re brand-new to Muay Thai, don’t worry, Bangkok is one of the best places to start. The key is choosing a gym that matches your comfort level, then following a simple plan: learn stance and guard first, focus on balance and breathing, and build consistency over intensity. Even 3 - 5 sessions can feel like a real upgrade when your training is structured.

3 Easy “Train + Explore” Ideas for Your Week

  • Training Day (AM): morning class → healthy lunch → light exploring (malls, cafés, parks) → early night
  • Culture Day (PM): museums/old town in the afternoon → evening class → simple dinner
  • Food Night: train → Yaowarat street food → walk it off → sleep
