Muay Thai camps in Thailand for families

Fewer camps handle this well than claim to. The questions are whether children genuinely train, whether there is anything for a non-training partner, and whether the accommodation suits more than one person.

Child sessions and adult sessions being on the same timetable is the detail that makes or breaks a family trip. Confirm it directly.

5 of the 44 camps listed here are ones we think suit families, spread across 5 regions of Thailand. 4 of them print what a month of training costs, 3,999 to 16,500 baht. We also name one camp we would steer families away from, which is a different thing from a bad camp.

Camps we think suit families

Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA

Bang Tao, Phuket, mid-size camp

Based on the north-west coast near Bang Tao beach rather than in the southern camp cluster, which changes the whole trip: quieter beaches, more of a resort setting, longer drive to the Chalong and Rawai scene.

Superpro Samui

Chaweng, Koh Samui, mid-size camp

The main established training option on Koh Samui, running a mixed programme with fitness classes alongside Muay Thai. Works well for a training-and-holiday split, or for someone travelling with a partner who is not training.

Muay Thai / Boxing / BJJ

Jaopahin Muay Thai

Nong Kae, Hua Hin, small camp

A family gym in Nong Kae run by Kru Tum, who names his two assistant coaches and three of his fighters on the site. The timetable runs three adult group sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and two on the other three days, because the early evening hour goes to the children, and every class is an hour and a half. Every price is printed twice, once for children and once for adults, so a parent training alongside a kid can read the whole bill off one page. The month buys training and nothing else, with no room and no visa attached, and the gym is closed on Sunday. Suits a family or a beginner already staying in Hua Hin who wants a plain price list and a coach who is also the owner.

Fairtex Training Center Pattaya

Pattaya, large camp

Large resort-style training centre attached to the best-known equipment brand in the sport, with on-site accommodation and food. Polished and self-contained, which is either the appeal or the drawback depending on what you came for.

Luktupfah Muay Thai

Prawet, Bangkok, small camp

A Bangkok school that teaches Muay Boran and Krabi Krabong alongside Muay Thai and certifies krus, which makes it the one camp on this list where the draw is the older material rather than a fight team. Two group sessions a day out in Prawet, rooms on site, and the traditional courses sold as private or course blocks rather than drop in.

Wrong customer

Camps we would steer families away from

These are not bad camps. They are camps where you would be the wrong customer, which is a different and more useful thing to know.

Kem Muay Thai Gym

Khao Yai Thiang, Sikhio, Isaan (Northeast), mid-size camp

A family-run camp on the mountain at Khao Yai Thiang, which its own site puts about three hours by road northeast of Bangkok. Two full rings and sixteen bags, and training is sold either by the single session or inside a package that bundles the room and two meals a day. The isolation is the draw and the catch at once: there is no town attached to it, so a month here is training, eating and sleeping.

How far this goes

Every kind of trip, camp by camp

Both lists above are our call rather than a field a camp published, so the honest thing to show is how often we are willing to make it. Each of the 44 camps we list gets one mark per kind of trip: a long mark where we placed it, a quieter long mark where we marked it wrong, and a short one where we never looked.

5 of the 44 camps we list suit families and one is marked wrong for them. The other 38 we have not placed either way. We sort camps by 8 kinds of trip, which against the 44 we list is 352 readings. We have made 108 of them. The one kind of trip we mark more camps wrong for than we place with is people on a training holiday, at 8 against 6, so they are the reader most likely to book a camp that will not suit them. 3 of the 8 carry no camp marked wrong for them at all, which is a gap in our reading rather than a finding about the camps: people staying for months, people training to lose weight and women. Kind by kind out of the 44 camps, suited first then marked wrong for: people who have never trained 26 and 4, people staying for months 17 and none, competitive fighters 12 and 6, people on a tight budget 10 and 4, people on a training holiday 6 and 8, people training to lose weight 6 and none, families 5 and one, women 3 and none.

What the data says about camps for families

Every figure below is counted off the 5 camps tagged for this group, read from what each camp publishes on its own site.
Where in Thailand are the camps for families?
One each in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Koh Samui, Pattaya and Phuket. No region holds more than one, so choosing between them is choosing a part of Thailand before it is choosing a camp. Region pages carry the same camps with the travel and the weather attached, which is the part a map cannot tell you.
What does one session cost at a camp for families?
4 of the 5 publish a single session rate, 450 to 800 baht. The middle of those is 500 baht against 450 baht across all 44 camps listed here, so as a group they run dearer than the country by 50 baht a session. A drop-in is the cheapest way to find out whether a camp suits you, and every figure here was read off the camp's own site rather than quoted to us.
Can families stay at the camp?
3 of the 5 say on their own site that you can sleep at the camp. One of them says you cannot. The other one has not said either way, which we print as a gap rather than reading the silence as a no. One of them goes as far as a nightly rate, 1,000 baht.
How many sessions a day do camps for families run?
2 of the 5 print it, and those run 2 to 3 sessions a day. A timetable tells you when the door is open; this tells you how many times a day you are expected to walk through it, which is the difference between a month of training and a month of mornings. Where the field is empty the camp publishes a timetable and leaves the arithmetic to you.
Are the camps for families big or small?
Of the 5, 2 are small camps, 2 are mid-size and one is large. Size is the one structural thing every camp here is on record for, and it changes the trip more than the rate does: a large camp has more sessions, more sparring partners and more people who arrived the same week as you, while a small one has the head trainer watching you and nowhere to hide. Neither is better and the shortlist is not sorted on it.
Which camp for families is cheapest?
Jaopahin Muay Thai, at 3,999 baht a month. 4 of the 5 publish a monthly rate at all, so that is the lowest published figure rather than the lowest figure. The one that does not may well charge less. Cheapest is also the wrong question on its own: a camp charging half the next one usually has half the trainers, and a month that includes a bed is not comparable to a month that does not.
