Camp matcher

Which camp actually suits you

44 camps is too many to read through, and the ones that market hardest are not the ones that will suit you.

6 questions, then a shortlist drawn from the 44 camps on this site, scored on the 8 kinds of trip each camp is listed as suiting and the region you named. What counts as cheap is the middle of the monthly rates the camps themselves publish, 10,000 THB today, so the line moves when they move their prices and no figure here pretends to know the market. Every match arrives with the reasons it was picked and with what we have not confirmed about that camp, because a shortlist that hides its gaps is a ranking, and we are not ranking these. No email, nothing sold at the end.

Question 1 of 6

How much Muay Thai have you actually done?

Be honest. Half the bad camp experiences we hear about are people booking a fighter camp on three months of classes.

The method

What the answers are scored against

เกณฑ์

Six fields, six weights, and the number of camps that have each field at all. Two of the six are our reading rather than anything a camp published, which is marked on every line, and one of them is empty across the whole list.

The region it trains inAdds 4 points if you named its region and takes 8 off if you named another.: 44of 44, from the camp
How big it isStands in for a rate where a camp publishes none, worth 2 points, which is why it counts for less than a figure does.: 44of 44, from the camp
Who we think it suitsAdds 3 points for every kind of trip it matches.: 43of 44, our reading
The monthly rate it publishesMoves a camp that already fits 3 points either way, read against the middle of the rates the camps publish.: 26of 44, from the camp
Who we think it does not suitTakes 6 points off for every kind it clashes with, which is usually enough on its own to drop it.: 22of 44, our reading
A women's programme in writingAdds no points either way. It names the programme where a camp states one and warns where it does not, and no camp states one, so today it only ever warns.: 0of 44, from the camp

The gaps

What the shortlist cannot do yet

Two of the six fields are thin enough to change what the form can honestly promise, and one camp cannot be reached by any answer at all.

Asking for a women’s programme filters nothing. Not one of the 44 camps states in writing that it runs one, so answering yes does not remove a single camp from the list. What it does instead is add a line to every match telling you to ask the camp before you book, which is the honest version of an answer we cannot give.

Sparring intensity is not asked about, because no camp publishes it either. A question we could not score would be worse than no question: it would look like the shortlist knew something about how hard the rounds go, and it does not.

One camp on this site cannot be reached by the form unless you name the region. Sitjaroonsak Muaythai Gym has nothing recorded about who it suits, so four of the six questions score it at zero. That is a hole in our reading rather than anything against the gym.

Skip the form

If you already know what you are

The form exists to narrow six answers down to a shortlist. If one of these describes you on its own, the list is already written.
