Amazing gym, very friendly and patient coaches, was a bit nervous as a beginner but… read more they take their time fixing your technique.
600 baht for a session where you get to work with many high level coaches for 2 hours is quite a deal if you ask me. Coming back here next time I’m in Bangkok for sure.

July 24, 2024An incredible experience at a great gym! I had the amazing opportunity to meet Samart… read more Payakaroon himself in person, as well as Somrak Khamsing – truly a dream come true for any Muay Thai enthusiast.
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.
Highly recommended!
