How do I get to a camp from the airport?
Updated 2026-09-01
The short answer
Most camps will arrange an airport transfer if you ask, and it is usually the least stressful option on day one. Otherwise the standard route is an official airport taxi or a ride-hailing app, and the journey from the nearest airport is typically under an hour outside Bangkok.
Ask the camp before you arrive rather than after. Even camps that do not advertise transfers usually know a driver, and having a name at arrivals after a long flight is worth the small premium.
If you are getting your own transport, use the official taxi counter or a ride-hailing app rather than the person who approaches you inside the terminal. This is not a Thailand issue, it is an airport issue everywhere.
Have the camp address written in Thai on your phone. Foreign camp names are not always recognised, and the street address is.
Worth knowing
Where we have not confirmed a camp offers transfers, the camp page does not claim it. Ask them directly.

Asked alongside this one
Do I need a visa to train Muay Thai in Thailand?
It depends on your passport and how long you are staying, and the rules change often enough that no directory should be your source. Training at a commercial camp as a visitor is normal and common. Check your current entitlement with the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your nearest Thai embassy before you book flights.
When is the best time of year to train in Thailand?
November to February is the cool dry season across most of the country and the most comfortable stretch for twice-daily training. March to May is hot enough to change how you train. In the north, the burning season from roughly February to April brings poor air quality, which matters when you are breathing hard for hours a day.
How long should my first training trip be?
Two to four weeks is the sweet spot for a first trip. A week is mostly jet lag and soreness. Somewhere in the second week your body stops fighting the schedule, and that is when people report actually improving.
