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

Punch It Gym is the Muay Thai camp in Lamai where most first-time visitors to Koh Samui end up – and for good reason: the complete package offers everything. Training rooms, a café, and a shop are all located on one site, just a 15-minute walk from Lamai Beach. The gym is recognized by the Thai Sports Authority as a professional Muay Thai studio. For a camp catering to tourists, the coaching team is top-notch. Team leader Kru Lek has fought over 300 bouts and won seven titles on Channel 3, Channel 7, and Lumpinee TV. Kru Bass is a Rajadamnern champion with a record of 290 fights, and Kru Book has trained, among others, Buakaw. Classes are offered for beginners, intermediate, and advanced fighters, and the atmosphere is intentionally friendly and not as strict as in a typical training camp.

The prices are simple and transparent. A group lesson costs 400 baht, two hours per day 700 baht, a week 3,500 baht, and a month 9,600 baht. A private lesson costs 1,000 baht, and a ten-hour pass 9,000 baht. Test gloves and shin guards are included in the price; hand wraps can be rented for 50 baht or purchased in the shop. The Healthy Café next to the mats offers fresh juices, coffee, and low-calorie meals. Thanks to the accommodation at the Muay Thai Village, daily training is possible without a scooter.
