Emerald Muay Thai

Private is published as a range, 800 to 1,000 an hour. A day is 600, three months 8,000 a month, a year 6,000 a month. Rooms are arranged off site: a resort room is 5,000 a week and 14,000 a month in low season, a fighter bungalow from 4,000 a week, both rising between October and April. Bookings are non-refundable.

Honour Muay Thai

Daily training is the only thing priced: 500 for one session a day and 800 for two. No week, month or private rate is published, and the rooms next to the gym are described without a figure. The one other printed line is equipment, a starter bundle at 4,800 to buy or rented by the week, 800 for one week rising to 2,300 for four.

Against the country

Each line runs from the cheapest figure listed camps print for that rate to the dearest, with Emerald Muay Thai marked above the line, Honour Muay Thai below it and the stretch between them inked. In baht, Emerald Muay Thai first, then Honour Muay Thai: one group session at 400 and 500, 100 apart inside a run of 550 that 31 of 44 listed camps print. Rates only one of the two publishes are left out, because a line carrying one mark says nothing about two camps.

They quote the same figure on 2 lines: sessions a day and takes beginners.

What we cannot tell you yet

Neither camp has been confirmed on the lines below, so this page does not compare them. They are named rather than left off, because a comparison that only shows the fields it happens to hold is the shape of a page pretending to be complete.

In their own words

What each camp is

Emerald Muay Thai

One of the few established camps in Krabi, which is the appeal: mainland scenery and climbing on the doorstep without the density of the Phuket scene. Smaller trainee pool means fewer partners at your exact level. The same operator runs a second camp at Rawai Beach in Phuket, so confirm which of the two you are booking. English on the pads is in writing but rests on one named head trainer rather than the whole floor.

The full record for Emerald Muay Thai

Honour Muay Thai

A small Ao Nang gym that publishes a daily rate and nothing else: train once a day or twice, and pay by the day. There is no week, month or private price on the site, and the rooms beside the gym are quoted on request, so the cost of a long stay has to be asked for rather than read. Suits somebody already in Ao Nang who wants to train while they are there more than somebody planning a month around a camp.

What people ask about Emerald Muay Thai and Honour Muay Thai

Every figure below is read off the two records at build time rather than written by hand, so a question neither camp has published anything behind is left out instead of answered softly.
Is Emerald Muay Thai or Honour Muay Thai cheaper?
Emerald Muay Thai, on the line most trips are booked on. A single group session is 400 baht there against 500 baht at Honour Muay Thai, a gap of 100 baht. A cheaper month is not a cheaper trip. Food, a room where the camp has none and the flight home all sit outside these figures, and a camp that is 2,000 baht dearer a month is the cheaper of the two the moment it saves you a daily taxi.
What is the difference between Emerald Muay Thai and Honour Muay Thai?
2 of the 4 lines both camps publish come out different: a single group session and whether there are rooms on site. They match on how many sessions a day run and whether beginners are taken. Emerald Muay Thai publishes a week of unlimited training, a month of unlimited training, a private session and whether the trainers speak English. Honour Muay Thai publishes none of those. What separates two camps on the mats is the trainer you get put with, and no camp publishes that. Use the lines above to cut the list down, then ask both.
Is Emerald Muay Thai or Honour Muay Thai better for a beginner?
Both. Emerald Muay Thai and Honour Muay Thai each read as a room somebody who has never trained can walk into. That is a call made at a desk from what each camp publishes about who it trains, not a verdict from the mats. A gym built around a fight team will take a beginner's money and leave them holding pads at the back for a month, so ask both how a first session actually runs before you book either.
Can you stay at Emerald Muay Thai or Honour Muay Thai?
Honour Muay Thai only. Emerald Muay Thai says it has no rooms, which is a checked no rather than a blank. Neither nightly rate is published, so the room line stays blank rather than get estimated off camps elsewhere that do print one. Staying in means the commute stops being a decision you make twice a day at five in the morning, which matters more than the saving on most trips shorter than a month.
How many sessions a day do Emerald Muay Thai and Honour Muay Thai run?
The same number. Emerald Muay Thai and Honour Muay Thai both run 2 sessions a day. That is how many are on offer and not how many anybody should plan on taking. A timetable says when the door is open; how many times you walk through it is most of the difference between a training holiday and a camp, and a first week of doubles is how people spend a second week injured.
How far apart are Emerald Muay Thai and Honour Muay Thai?
About 2.1 km in a straight line, measured between the two pins rather than along a road, so a motorbike covers more ground than that and traffic decides the rest. Both camps sit in Krabi. That is a ride rather than a walk, so trying both in one trip means picking a base and paying to cross, or splitting the stay in two.
