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

The Muay Thai Resort & Academy in Hang Dong, south of Chiang Mai, is a training camp that makes its limitations clear from the outset. There's no swimming pool, meals are not included, and airport transfers are not. Instead, the focus is on intensive training. Guests are trained in small groups with a maximum of two students per instructor. With four full-size rings, 22 Fairtex punching bags, and a 1,115-square-meter training area, guests can choose between a Lite package with two training sessions per day and a Full package with four sessions per day. An on-site coworking space is available, as many guests plan extended stays as remote workers.

The rooms are private executive rooms with en-suite bathrooms or gender-segregated dormitories for solo adult travelers. Prices vary depending on the date, room, and package booked. Therefore, the exact total price can only be found on the camp's booking page. Weekly and monthly discounts are automatically applied. Walk-ins are also welcome. Beginners receive targeted support, and the intensity is individually adjusted by the trainers. A detox and weight-loss program replaces regular meals with juice cleanses during a fasting period.
