Affordable Muay Thai camp in Bangkok: what you get for the price

What 25,000 THB a month gets you

Thirty days of Stay & Train is one price for everything you need to live and train at the camp:

• A private air-conditioned room at the camp, with Wi-Fi.
• Breakfast and dinner every day, Sundays included.
• Two training sessions a day, Monday–Saturday, about 06:00–09:00 and 15:00–18:00. That is about 25 training days and around 50 sessions in 30 days.
• Electricity, so the air conditioning is not billed separately.
• Gloves and hand wraps to borrow at the gym.

Spread over the month, that works out at about 830 THB a day for your room, two meals and two sessions. For comparison, a single 60-minute drop-in group class at N&P costs 400 THB on its own, with no room or food. See the room.

The longer you stay, the less you pay per day

Thirty days cost only 4,000 THB more than three weeks, which is why a month is the best value for most people and why most of our international guests stay about a month. Stays of 6 months or longer get 10% off. Read about long stays.

One price, no extra fees

A low headline price is only good value if it is the price you actually pay. At N&P there is no separate training fee, room fee, utility bill or equipment rental on top of Stay & Train, and the price is the same in every month of the year, with no high-season surcharge.

What you do pay for separately is short and predictable: flights, travel insurance, lunch and snacks, your own outings, and private lessons if you want one-to-one work (700 THB a session). Airport pickup is available for an extra cost; ask staff for a quote. See the full cost breakdown.

How to compare camp prices fairly

Camps quote prices in different ways: some list training only, some add rooms and meals, some change prices by season. Before you compare, add up the same things for every camp you are looking at:

Compare the total for your whole stay, including the room, food and transport you would otherwise pay for. Our seven questions to ask a camp cover the rest.

Affordable does not mean basic training

A lower price does not mean lighter training. N&P is a working fight camp:

• Train with active fighters. The camp's own fighters, Buakhiao Por Paoin and Anon Taladkondernmuangpon, compete on ONE Lumpinee. Meet our fighters.
• Small groups. Fighter-level groups are small, so the attention is close to a private class.
• A full gym. A boxing ring, heavy bags and a weights area on site.
• Beginners welcome. Complete beginners train in the same sessions, the trainer adjusts the work to your level, and sparring is optional. Read the beginner's guide.

Fighter-level training at the same price

If you already have solid basics, you can choose fighter-level training for 30 days at the same 25,000 THB. It adds sparring, clinch work and running alongside the camp fighters, and the camp can help arrange a fight when your coaches judge you ready and there is a suitable event. A fight is never guaranteed. Read about fighter training.

Living on site in Rama 2

You sleep a few steps from the gym, so there is no daily taxi or train ride to training and back. The camp is in the Rama 2 area of south-west Bangkok (Bang Khun Thian district), away from the tourist centre, which makes it easier to keep a training routine. Check-in is from 14:00 and checkout is at 13:00.

Rooms are limited, so confirm your dates with staff before you book flights. A 50% deposit reserves your room and the balance is due before check-in.
