    Amazing Muay Thai gym! 🥊 Great atmosphere, professional trainers, and very friendly people. The coaches adapt the training to your level and make sure you learn proper technique while still having fun. Highly recommended if you want an authentic Muay Thai experience in Thailand! Kru Maew 🙏

    I had a really great experience at this gym. The place was very clean, which immediately created a professional atmosphere. The coach was professional and paid close attention to technical details in a way I haven’t experienced with other trainers in Thailand. He was also a very kind person with big heart, which made the whole training experience even better. I would definitely recommend this gym, especially for people looking for a more personal and focused training environment. Phuket has many large and well-known gyms that are very popular with tourists, but this gym offers a great alternative for those who appreciate a slightly calmer atmosphere and more detailed coaching. Highly recommended. I would happily train here again.

    Trained at a few gyms on fitness street, this gym is a true five star all the way from coaching, atmosphere, and improvement . Amazing teaching and pad holding, authentic training that pushes you, and a high-energy environment. I’ve learned more here in a short time than I have anywhere else. Highly recommend to anyone serious about Muay Thai.

    If I could leave 6 stars, I would. I went into this trip planning to do a couple private lessons here, and then bounce around the street. But from my first day here, I knew this gym was the real deal. I did 11 privates with Kru Lai in 2 weeks. And I grew so much as a fighter. He will work with you at your speed. Some days I would learn 3-4 new moves. Other days I would perfect the existing moves we have learned. Coming here for as much as I did turned me into a much better Muay Thai athlete. As mentioned I trained exclusively with Kru Lai, but my friend trained with 2 other trainers there and he was very happy with them as well. This is a gym that breeds fighters. So the coaches dont miss any details! I recommend coming here and trying a private or group class. You wont be disappointed!

    Kru Muay Thai is a special place that makes you want to return day after day. But what makes it different? I’ve trained at many other gyms in this soi and nearby. In my experience, most Kru share one common issue: they simply come to work. Many have lost their passion for Muay Thai. They hold pads loosely, rarely correct your technique, and seem to assume that farangs just want to kick pads for fun with no real purpose. At Kru Muay Thai, it’s completely different. Almost every Kru has their own specialty: Kru Maew focuses on your weaknesses and helps you fix them. He is calm, patient, and funny. Training with him is both challenging and enjoyable. After just a few private sessions, your bad habits disappear often without you even realizing it. Kru Yai pushes you hard and builds your anaerobic capacity like no one else. One session with him and you’ll feel like a true tough fighter. Kru Lai knows incredible combinations you never thought were possible. He’s especially popular with beginners and students preparing for fights. With his combinations, losing feels almost impossible. What sets them all apart is their genuine passion for Muay Thai. No one here just holds pads and waits for the 2.5 minutes to pass. No one clocks in and clocks out. Every Kru actively corrects your technique and truly cares about your progress. The group class community is equally outstanding. Everyone supports one another, and the students are respectful and easy going. There’s no ego here. No one tries to show off or hit beginners hard. The moment I mentioned I was new, everyone immediately went gentle during sparring. To be honest, if this training environment isn’t the best of the best in the soi, then what is?
