Where to train

Training Muay Thai in Krabi

กระบี่

Mainland province on the Andaman coast, across Phang Nga Bay from Phuket and served by its own international flights. Arriving here does not mean routing through Phuket first. The camp scene is small and a lot of the draw is what sits around the training rather than the training itself: Railay and Tonsai are limestone walls reachable only by boat and a climbing destination in their own right, and the ferries to Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi run from the town pier. Quieter than Phuket in every sense of the word, the party one included.

Camps in Krabi

Emerald Muay Thai

Ao Nang, Krabi, small camp

One of the few established camps in Krabi, which is the appeal: mainland scenery and climbing on the doorstep without the density of the Phuket scene. Smaller trainee pool means fewer partners at your exact level. The same operator runs a second camp at Rawai Beach in Phuket, so confirm which of the two you are booking. English on the pads is in writing but rests on one named head trainer rather than the whole floor.

Honour Muay Thai

Ao Nang, Krabi, small camp

A small Ao Nang gym that publishes a daily rate and nothing else: train once a day or twice, and pay by the day. There is no week, month or private price on the site, and the rooms beside the gym are quoted on request, so the cost of a long stay has to be asked for rather than read. Suits somebody already in Ao Nang who wants to train while they are there more than somebody planning a month around a camp.

E.N. Muaythai Gym

Ao Nang, Krabi, small camp

Two two-hour sessions a day, six days a week, and a price list three lines long: a class, a day pass, and a private for two students sharing one coach. No week or month rate makes a long stay awkward to budget, and the gym has no accommodation of its own. It reads as the daily training option for somebody already staying in Ao Nang.

Over The Top

Ao Nang, Krabi, small camp

The cheapest published drop-in of any camp on this site, and the only one in Krabi that prints a rate for grappling as well as Muay Thai. Read the passes before comparing them with anywhere else: the week and month are one class a day rather than unlimited, so they are a different product at a different price. MMA and no-gi BJJ are listed as waitlisted rather than running, which makes Muay Thai the thing you can count on turning up to.

How far apart

Getting between the camps in Krabi

Measured in a straight line between coordinates the camps publish themselves. It is not a road distance and not a journey time, so read each figure as the shortest the trip can possibly be rather than the trip itself.

The closest two camps we have placed in Krabi are Emerald Muay Thai and Over The Top, 700 m apart in a straight line. The furthest two sit 2.9 km apart, and 3 of the 6 pairs are close enough to walk between.

What the camps listed in Krabi charge

Read off the camps listed here and nowhere else. The low and the high are figures a camp prints itself, never an average or a midpoint, and the count sits beside each one because a band drawn from two camps tells you less than it looks like it does.

When to come

Training weather in Krabi

Almost every camp in Thailand trains under a roof, so rain cancels your run and your beach day rather than your session. What the calendar below actually decides is heat, humidity, air quality and how full the camp is, which is why the wettest stretch is often the cheapest and emptiest one to train in.

The boats matter more here than the rain does. Railay and the islands are boat access only, and the sea gets rough enough in the wet months to cancel crossings.

What people ask about training in Krabi

Every figure below is read off the camps filed under this region at build time rather than written by hand, so a question this region has no record behind is left out instead of answered softly.
How much does it cost to train Muay Thai in Krabi?
One of the 4 camps here prints a month, and that month is 10,000 baht, level with the 10,000 baht middle for the country. All 4 camps print what a single group session costs, running 250 to 500 baht, below the 450 baht middle for the country. Every one of those figures was read off a camp's own website rather than quoted to us, and the camps that print nothing are counted in the denominator rather than left out of it, so the range is what this region publishes and not what it charges. Food, a room off site and a visa run are all on top.
How many Muay Thai camps are there in Krabi?
This site lists 4 camps in Krabi, of 44 in Thailand, and 4 of them publish a price. That is a count of what we have checked and written up, not a census: Krabi has gyms that keep no website, gyms that run out of a yard behind a house and gyms nobody outside the province has heard of, and none of those can be listed honestly from a desk. Read the number as a floor.
Is Krabi a good place to start Muay Thai?
Yes, on this site's reading. One of the 4 camps listed here reads as a fit for somebody who has never trained, and none of them reads as the wrong room for a beginner. Those are calls made at a desk from what each camp publishes about who it trains, not verdicts from the mats, so use them to build a shortlist and ask the camp how a first session actually runs. A gym built around a fight team will take a beginner's money and leave them holding pads at the back for a month.
Can you stay at the camp in Krabi?
At some of them. One of the 4 camps listed in Krabi says it has accommodation on site. It does not publish a nightly rate, so the room line stays blank rather than get estimated off the 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.
How many sessions a day do camps in Krabi run?
3 of the 4 camps listed in Krabi print a timetable, and every one of them runs 2 sessions a day. That is how many are on offer and not how many anybody should plan on taking. A timetable says the door is open twice; 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.
When is the best time to train Muay Thai in Krabi?
The driest stretch in Krabi runs December to March and the wettest is roughly May to October. Rain is the thing people plan around and close to the least important thing on this page: a wet month costs you the morning run and the beach, and almost nothing inside a gym with a roof. The boats matter more here than the rain does. Railay and the islands are boat access only, and the sea gets rough enough in the wet months to cancel crossings.
