December 16, 2018Very clean gym, owned by arguably the greatest Nak Muay ever. I showed up with… read more my 13 year old son and we were greeted by a sweet older lady who offered us snacks and bananas while we waited for the class to begin. We attended a class with Kru Samarts trainers: Adahm (not sure if that’s how he spells it), Yo and Linglompup. There was one other older trainer but we didn’t get his name unfortunately. Great guys who pushed us to keep going and gave us feedback throughout the session about how we could improve. It was an amazing experience. Kru Samart wasn’t there unfortunately but hopefully we will be back in Thailand one day and we can visit them again! My son and I will definitely remember that experience forever and utilize what they taught us when we train back home.

January 12, 2025I 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.

An 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!
