Training in Bangkok
Bangkok suits people who want city life, fighter gyms and fight nights. Traffic is the main constraint: stay within walking distance of your camp.
Where to stay and train
| Area | Why choose it | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Central Bangkok (Sukhumvit, Silom) | Easy BTS and MRT access, many rooms, fighter gyms and hotel gyms within reach | Higher rent; traffic to the outer camps |
| Old city (near Rajadamnern) | Walk or take a short ride to fight nights, cheaper guesthouses | Fewer foreigner-focused camps |
| Northern and outer suburbs | Classic fighter gyms with Thai fighters and smaller groups | Long trips into town; pick a room next to the camp |
Budget for a month
Training in Bangkok is usually priced like Phuket's traditional camps rather than its big resort gyms: plan roughly 10,000–15,000 baht a month for training, then add your room. The training cost guide compares the price lists camps publish, and the trip cost calculator adds room, food and transport.
Watch a fight
Bangkok has the two historic stadiums. Rajadamnern holds a card every night of the week, from 1,000 baht for third class to 2,500 baht ringside. Lumpinee fights on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Train, then fight night
A good first week: train mornings and late afternoons Monday to Friday, then watch the Saturday card at Rajadamnern. Ask your camp: many trainers know the fighters on the card and can tell you which bouts to watch.
Tell us your dates, level and budget: up to three camps reply with prices and availability.
