This is an absolute must-visit gym, especially knowing it’s owned by the legendary Samart. The trainers here are exceptional – their knowledge and teaching ability really stand out. I learned so many new techniques and concepts during my time there.
The sparring sessions were fantastic and really helped improve my skills in a supportive environment. The gym maintains a very clean facility, which is always appreciated. What really makes this place special though is the friendly atmosphere – everyone from the staff to fellow trainees made me feel welcome.
If you’re serious about Muay Thai or just want to train at a place with incredible history and authentic instruction, Samart Payakaroon gym is the place to go. The combination of world-class expertise, great facilities, and welcoming people makes this a standout experience.

This place is amazing, the trainers are very friendly and accommodating for all levels of training, I trained alongside kids elderly, and professional Muay Thai fighters and they treated everyone with equal respect.

I stayed and trained at this gym for a total of 3 months, and I… read more honestly can’t say enough good things about it. The coaches don’t just train you, they really care about you on a personal level, especially Kru Dam, who made a huge impact on me. While training here, I was able to win my very first fight, and the support I received from everyone made it feel like I was part of a family.
The gym did a lot for me personally, not just in terms of Muay Thai but also in helping me grow as a person. You can tell they care deeply not only about the fighters but also about all of the staff who make the place run. If you’re looking for a gym that pushes you, supports you, and treats you like family, this is the place.
