Is Sumalee Boxing Gym or Suwit Muay Thai cheaper?

Suwit Muay Thai, on the line most trips are booked on. A month of unlimited training is 9,000 baht there against 12,000 baht at Sumalee Boxing Gym, a gap of 3,000 baht. They both quote 2 other priced lines, and Suwit Muay Thai is lower on one and one comes out level. 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 Sumalee Boxing Gym and Suwit Muay Thai?

2 of the 5 lines both camps publish come out different: a week of unlimited training and a month of unlimited training. They match on a single group session, whether there are rooms on site and whether beginners are taken. Suwit Muay Thai publishes how many sessions a day run and Sumalee Boxing Gym does not. 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 Sumalee Boxing Gym or Suwit Muay Thai better for a beginner?

Both. Sumalee Boxing Gym and Suwit 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 Sumalee Boxing Gym or Suwit Muay Thai?

Both. Sumalee Boxing Gym and Suwit Muay Thai 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 far apart are Sumalee Boxing Gym and Suwit Muay Thai?

About 15 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 Phuket. 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.

Sumalee Boxing Gym

The month is unlimited group training and expires 28 days from purchase; once a day is 8,000. Under-16s train at half price. Rooms on site include both daily group classes but are quoted on enquiry rather than published, and private sessions are not on the rates page.

Suwit Muay Thai

The week is six days, twice a day. Training plus a fan room at the gym for a month is 11,500 and an air-conditioned room by the pool 14,500, with electricity billed by the unit; two meals a day adds 3,300 a month. Private training is sold by the week at 6,000 or the month at 18,000 rather than by the session. The rates page still carries 2015 exchange rates, so check it is current before paying.

Against the country

Each line runs from the cheapest figure listed camps print for that rate to the dearest, with Sumalee Boxing Gym marked above the line, Suwit Muay Thai below it and the stretch between them inked. In baht, Sumalee Boxing Gym first, then Suwit Muay Thai: one group session the same at 500, inside a run of 550 that 31 of 44 listed camps print; a week, unlimited at 3,500 and 3,000, 500 apart inside a run of 3,700 that 21 of 44 listed camps print; a month, unlimited at 12,000 and 9,000, 3,000 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 3 lines: one group session, 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

Sumalee Boxing Gym

Smaller camp in the quieter north of Phuket, away from the Rawai and Chalong concentration. Being out of the tourist strip is the point: fewer distractions, smaller groups, more trainer attention. Less convenient if you want nightlife or a big social scene.

The full record for Sumalee Boxing Gym

Suwit Muay Thai

Long-established Chalong camp with a traditional Muay Thai focus and a track record of putting foreign students into local fights. Suits people who want a clear path toward competing rather than a fitness holiday.
