Khongsittha Muay Thai

The walk-in is a one-hour group class with gloves and wraps provided. Anything longer is sold as train and stay, which bundles the room: from 2,000 a day over three days, 1,750 over a fortnight, 933 over a month and 600 over three, so there is no training-only week or month rate to quote.

Kiatphontip Gym

Two sessions a day Monday to Saturday, 07:00 to 09:00 and 15:30 to 18:00, with Sunday off. Mornings run, shadow box, work the bags and pads and finish on conditioning, with boxing and sparring on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Afternoons add up to an hour of clinch. The private line stays blank because the camp publishes no private rate. The nightly room line stays blank because a room is only sold inside a Train and Stay package with training and two meals a day: a week is 8,900, two weeks 16,500, three weeks 24,000, a month 31,000 and three months 87,000 in a standard room, and 10,000, 18,000, 26,000, 32,000 and 90,000 in a deluxe room. Training without a room runs 400 a session, 700 for two sessions in one day, 4,000 a week, 7,000 for two weeks, 12,000 a month and 23,000 for two months.

Against the country

Each line runs from the cheapest figure listed camps print for that rate to the dearest, with Khongsittha Muay Thai marked above the line, Kiatphontip Gym below it and the stretch between them inked. In baht, Khongsittha Muay Thai first, then Kiatphontip Gym: one group session at 500 and 400, 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 3 lines: sessions a day, rooms on site and takes beginners.

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

Khongsittha Muay Thai

Bangkok gym that manages to be well set up for visiting foreigners while keeping a serious Thai training culture. One of the more approachable ways into the Bangkok scene if the rural camps feel like too much.

The full record for Khongsittha Muay Thai

Kiatphontip Gym

A family camp on the quiet western edge of Bangkok, running since 2008, where visitors train in the same two sessions as the resident Thai fight team and a room is sold inside the stay rather than by the night. Suits someone who wants a small camp and a fixed daily rhythm more than someone who wants to be in the middle of the city.

What people ask about Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym

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 Khongsittha Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym cheaper?
Kiatphontip Gym, on the line most trips are booked on. A single group session is 400 baht there against 500 baht at Khongsittha 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 Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym?
One of the 4 lines both camps publish comes out different: a single group session. They match on how many sessions a day run, whether there are rooms on site and whether beginners are taken. Kiatphontip Gym publishes a week of unlimited training and a month of unlimited training. Khongsittha 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 Khongsittha Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym better for a beginner?
Both. Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym 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 Khongsittha Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym?
Both. Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym each say on their own site that you can sleep at the camp. 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 Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym run?
The same number. Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym 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 Khongsittha Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym?
About 31 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 Bangkok. 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.
