Is Kiatphontip Gym or Sitsongpeenong cheaper?

Kiatphontip Gym, on the line most trips are booked on. A month of unlimited training is 12,000 baht there against 18,000 baht at Sitsongpeenong, a gap of 6,000 baht. They both quote one other priced line, and Kiatphontip Gym is lower on one. 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 Kiatphontip Gym and Sitsongpeenong?

2 of the 4 lines both camps publish come out different: a single group session and a month of unlimited training. They match on how many sessions a day run and whether there are rooms on site. Kiatphontip Gym publishes a week of unlimited training and whether beginners are taken. Sitsongpeenong 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 Kiatphontip Gym or Sitsongpeenong better for a beginner?

Only one of them is placed either way. Kiatphontip Gym reads as a fit for a beginner and Sitsongpeenong publishes nothing we could read it from, so its line stays blank rather than get a guess. 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 Kiatphontip Gym or Sitsongpeenong?

Both. Kiatphontip Gym and Sitsongpeenong 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 Kiatphontip Gym and Sitsongpeenong run?

The same number. Kiatphontip Gym and Sitsongpeenong 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 Kiatphontip Gym and Sitsongpeenong?

About 39 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.

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.

Sitsongpeenong

The session rate is one a day; two is 1,000, and ten prepaid 5,000. The month is two sessions a day across 25 days. Rooms are priced in US dollars, from 51.56 a night twin share and 75 single, each including two meals and two sessions a day. Unless you live in Thailand the camp will not let you train here while staying somewhere else, so the room is not optional.

Against the country

Each line runs from the cheapest figure listed camps print for that rate to the dearest, with Kiatphontip Gym marked above the line, Sitsongpeenong below it and the stretch between them inked. In baht, Kiatphontip Gym first, then Sitsongpeenong: one group session at 400 and 600, 200 apart inside a run of 550 that 31 of 44 listed camps print; a month, unlimited at 12,000 and 18,000, 6,000 apart inside a run of 14,001 that 26 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 rooms on site.

In their own words

What each camp is

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.

The full record for Kiatphontip Gym

Sitsongpeenong

A Bangkok gym with a real stable of professional Thai fighters rather than a foreigner-first operation. Training alongside working pros is the draw. Expect to be the weakest person in the room for a while, which is the point.
