Muay Thai Camp FAQ

Absolutely. Beginners are welcome at every session. We break the Art of Eight Limbs down into simple steps and teach you to use your fists, elbows, knees and shins safely. Our trainers give plenty of one-to-one attention, so you'll never be left to work it out alone, and every session is built to challenge all fitness levels, so you don't need to be fit before you arrive. If you'd like to try us first, your first lesson is just 300B. Everyone is different, so listen to your body: all classes are optional, and you can build up at your own pace. Read Your First Week as a Beginner to see what to expect.

We train twice a day, Monday to Saturday: 08:00–10:00 and 16:00–18:00. Sunday is our rest day.

Each session lasts two hours. You'll warm up with skipping or a light run, then do shadowboxing, one-to-one pad work with a trainer, bag work, clinch and controlled technical sparring. We finish with conditioning and a proper stretch. Lessons are always varied, so no two sessions are the same and training never gets boring.

Yes, if you're ready and willing to put the work in. Our students fight every month at stadiums on Koh Phangan and Koh Samui, and we're in your corner on fight night. Fighter training adds morning runs, harder conditioning and sparring planned around your opponent.

Women train with us all the time. In shared rooms we try to place women together, although rooms are booked first come, first served.

Your first lesson is 300B. Training-only starts at 2,000B a week (one session a day) or 3,000B a week (two a day). All-inclusive Train & Stay starts from 7,000B a week per person (approx. $200). Monthly Train & Stay runs from 24,000B to 40,000B depending on your room. Staying elsewhere? The Diamond All Access pass (5,000B a week or 18,000B a month) gives you everything in Train & Stay except the room and meals. All prices are per person. See our Prices page for the full list.

Everything you need to train and recover:

• All group Muay Thai: two 2-hour sessions a day, Monday to Saturday

• Yoga for Muay Thai: 3 × 90-minute classes a week

• Single AC: AC bamboo huts with en-suite, and deluxe single AC rooms with a double bed
• Shared AC: deluxe twin and triple rooms, priced per person

Every room has wifi and a warm shower, and towels and bedding are provided. A month's stay is 28 nights. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by midday.

Couples are welcome too: our deluxe single rooms have a double bed (couples pay the twin price per person), and the off-site Deluxe Suites also suit couples.

See every room, with photos, on our Accommodation page.

Train & Stay includes two home-cooked meals a day after training. Carrot's Bar, right beside the mats, serves coffee, protein shakes and fresh fruit shakes. Vegetarians are very welcome, just let us know when you book. We're sorry, but we can't cater for vegan diets.

We're at 145/8 Moo 1, Nai Wok, Koh Phangan: a 2-minute walk from Nai Wok beach and a 5-minute drive from Thong Sala, the main town. There's a 7-Eleven right by the gym for snacks, water and everyday essentials. Most people arrive by ferry at Thong Sala Pier, which is a quick 5-minute songthaew (shared taxi) ride or about a 15-minute walk away. The quickest route is to fly to Koh Samui and take a 30–50 minute ferry. The budget route is to fly to Surat Thani and buy a joint bus and ferry ticket. Full directions are on our Plan Your Trip page.

No. Gloves, shin guards and hand wraps are free to borrow. Your own mouthguard and groin guard will fit best. Bring light training clothes, a gym towel, antibacterial soap, running shoes and flip-flops. Train & Stay rooms come with towels and bedding. Our on-site shop stocks Diamond gear plus Fairtex and Twins if you'd like to upgrade. Our What to Pack guide has the full list.

Email diamondmuaythaibookings@gmail.com, or use the booking form on our Contact page, with your dates and the package you'd like. Team DMT will get back to you to confirm. A non-refundable deposit secures your place on a Train & Stay package, and we'll confirm the details when you book. We accept direct bank transfers or payment apps such as Revolut, and we recommend Wise for a good exchange rate.

Payments are normally non-refundable, but we'll always try to help. If you cancel at least one month before you arrive and we're able to fill your room, we can sometimes offer a refund, as long as the gym isn't left out of pocket. We may also be able to move your dates, so just get in touch.

Yes, the minimum stay for Train & Stay is one week. If you're only training, you can drop in for a single class (400B), but in high season (November–May) we limit drop-ins to keep a good trainer-to-student ratio, so please check at the front office first.
