Must-Do Muay Thai Experience in Thailand!

Asel_K, Feb 2026
I went to a Muay Thai for Beginners class and absolutely loved it. The instructors were very professional and clearly took their job seriously. We started with a proper warm-up and stretching, and we also finished the session with stretching. There were always 2–3 trainers coming around to check on us and give individual guidance. I think Muay Thai is definitely a must-do activity when you come to Thailand. Since it’s the national sport, practicing it here also allows you to experience and understand Thai culture from the inside.

Amazing

Tijmen_K, Jul 2025
I have never had any training before, BUT this was amazing! Me and my partner really enjoyed it. back tomorrow!!

Punch It!

Adam_M, Apr 2025
Absolutely superb, gym very friendly and superbly run! Made me feel very welcome and involved, training was solid with good sparing and individual training.

Great workout. Divide all...

Shay_B, Apr 2025
Great workout. Divide all people to different leves and it is good for kids. Could give more attention to kids so the can learn better but it was awsome and we all enjoyed

Definitely recommend.

Cynthia_K, Oct 2024
It wouldn’t say it’s a ‘beginner class’ - you need to have some level of fitness capabilities as there’s running involved & it’s an intense workout. I loved my experience, it’s a beautiful space, all the staff were so friendly, everyone was super welcoming. I hope to come back soon!

Newbie to muai Thai!

Hannah_B, Sep 2024
Was a total newbie. We did a fitness warm up and then I was taught 1 on 1 which was amazing. He explained everything so well. Very challenging but fun! Bring at least 1L of water 😂

Absolutely great experience

CHRISSY_P, Aug 2024
I was very skeptical as im not a spring chicken anymore but the guys who run the class were extremely professional helpful and great fun 👍 highly recommend this and loved the experience as they adapted things to suit 👌 thank you!

Worth it!

Tobias_S, Jul 2024
Great fun, was really a work out. Started with a run so bring shoes. Its good to have some experience before but not necessary.

Awesome for family activity

Fadil_Y, Jun 2024
Trainers were very nice and helpful. My boy, 12 and girl, 11 were very happy with the activities. Great workout and experience.

It was a fun class

Oiling_y, May 2024
You need more than one day/class to learn the basics. The course is for everyone; many have been there for days or weeks, so I felt a bit imitated when I was a newcomer. I learned a few basic techniques that I can practice at home, so I am happy with this price. Just make sure you drink a lot of water and bring a few water bottles for the class because you will be doing a lot of warm-ups and stretches before you get a chance to punch something.

Great fun and a good workout!

Martin_P, Jul 2023
Great experience! Went with my 2 boys, 9 and 11, and we loved it! Thanks to all the team of coaches! We will come back!

Not an introduction to Muay Thai

Morgan_T, Jun 2023
The class itself was really challenging but super fun! This class is not formatted for people who have never done martial arts before - it’s styled as a drop in for beginners, not an introduction to Muay Thai. Once the instructors realized we’d never done Muay Thai before the instructors showed us how to properly perform a variety of moves. The class was around 1/2 conditioning (running, jump rope, circuits) and 1/2 Muay Thai. Overall, our class lasted around 1.5 hrs.

Amazing

MariaEleanore_B, Apr 2023
It was an amazing learning experience joining the muay thai class. May you be a beginner or a pro, the Punch It gym has always a room for you. Great gym and great instructors who are capable of providing you the the best training and honing your muay thai skills. Perfect activity you must not miss in Soh Kamui!

Good

Gideon_T, Dec 2022
Great activity in Koh Samui. Taught the basics of muay Thai by actual muay Thai fighters. Place was clean and good location.

3-2-1 FIIGHTT!

SabariGanesh_V, Jun 2022
Exhilarating, Excruciating, Enterprising, and Entertaining - all at the same time. Good training session of Muay Thai. They were extremely flexible when we placed our concerns. Get ready to sweat it out. Physically intense but mentally rewarding. Good exposure to the martial arts form which is quite popular. You can definitely try this if you're at Lamai. Get immersed in the Thai culture. (carry Water)

Sports and fun

Anya_P, Sep 2025
Pleasant atmosphere, clean, exhausting..we only regret that we discovered it on the penultimate day of our holiday, otherwise the children would have participated every day. For the parents there is a nice coffee with delicious and healthy things

Une expérience incroyable qui donne envie de continuer le Muay Thaï ! Nous étions avec un enfant qui a adoré !

Superleuke ervaring voor het hele gezin

Zo gaaf om een keer te doen met het hele gezin! De jongste deed mee met de kinderles. Als beginneling zonder ervaring kregen we de basis geleerd wat we konden toepassen.

Les coach parlent très...

Soulaymane_E, Jul 2024
Les coach parlent très bien anglais, l’ensemble du matériel est fournis (gants…) bon rapport qualité prix

Super expérience !

Sofia_D, Nov 2023
Super expérience ! J’ai adoré le cours, les coach sont très sympas, il y a une super ambiance je recommande ! :) Merci encore

Leuke actieve les

Nynke_K, Aug 2023
Een leuke kennismaking met Muay Thai, actief en op enthousiaste wijze gegeven! Smaakte naar meer en zeker een aanrader om te doen als je in de buurt bent.

Belle expérience, je recommande !

Juliette_P, Apr 2022
Très belle expérience. Venez uniquement en tenue de sport, sinon ils vous prêtent tout ! Nous étions deux débutants, pendant l'heure et demie un coach est resté avec nous, à nous apprendre les mouvements de base et à les rectifier. Il s'est totalement adapté à nous. Franchement, c'est un super accompagnement ! Je pense même y retourner ! Petit conseil : prévoyez un serviette et de l'anti-moustique :)
