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

PK Saenchai Muaythai Gym is one of Bangkok's top professional training facilities. Fighters headline Rajadamnern and Lumpinee events and regularly appear at ONE Championship events. The gym opened in 2014 in Bang Kho Laem, a quiet neighborhood just minutes from the Central Rama III shopping mall. The expansive facility features four full-size Muay Thai rings, an MMA cage, over ten punching bags, a fully equipped weight training area with its own athletic trainer, and treadmills for cardio workouts when it's too hot outside. This is a training camp for professional fighters, not a fitness resort – and that's reflected in the atmosphere.

Foreigners are also very welcome, and several international fighters have settled here. A single session costs 400 baht, a morning and afternoon session 800 baht, and a private lesson with one of the gym's champions 1,500 baht. The gym trains from Monday to Saturday in the usual two-session schedule, with the afternoon session running from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. There are plenty of Thai sparring partners available in every weight class.
