Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Hongthong Muay Thai is located in eastern Chiang Mai, on San Kamphaeng Road just outside the city, and has earned a reputation as a gym where everyone feels welcome. Absolute beginners patiently learn the basics, advanced students receive professional training, and the gym's Thai and international fighters regularly compete in stadiums around the city, where the entire gym is present. The trainers are experienced stadium fighters from North Chiang, and the training is characterized by the region's technical and rhythmic style.

Group training takes place six days a week in the late afternoon – with additional morning sessions and private lessons available for regular members – and includes pad work, heavy bag training, clinching, and eye-level sparring. The location is ideal: a ten- to fifteen-minute scooter ride from the old town, far enough for ample space and affordable prices, yet close enough to fully enjoy the city center, cafes, and nightlife. Simple accommodations are available near the gym, and all the city's amenities are within easy reach.
