13 Best Muay Thai Camps in Phuket

What are the best Muay Thai gyms in Phuket?

Muay Thai camps in Phuket range from traditional Thai-owned gyms to large international training centres with world-class facilities. I’ve driven past Soi Ta-Iad hundreds of times over the years and watched it transform from quiet rubber plantations into Thailand’s unofficial fitness capital. What started with a few small camps in the early 2000s has grown into a proper training hub, attracting thousands of fighters and fitness enthusiasts every year. Today, there are more than a dozen serious camps spread across the island. Some cater to complete beginners wanting to try a few classes between beach days. Others train professional fighters preparing for stadium bouts. The quality of coaching is generally high, with many camps run by former Lumpinee and Rajadamnern champions. Prices start around 500 Baht for a single session, and most camps welcome drop-ins without booking. Here’s a breakdown of the best Muay Thai gyms in Phuket to help you choose the right one. Several are on the now-famous Soi Ta-Iad, also known as Soi Fitness, not far from Wat Chalong.
