How much does a Muay Thai camp in Thailand cost?
Training fees are only part of the bill. Here is how to budget a Muay Thai trip, and the calculator that adds it up for your length of stay.
The five budget lines
- Training: priced per session, per week or per month. Monthly packages are cheaper per week; privates cost extra.
- Accommodation: from basic rooms near the camp to resort rooms on site.
- Food: training twice a day means eating a lot. Thai street food keeps it cheap; Western food and protein add up.
- Transport: scooter rental, taxis or ride-hailing between your room, the camp and the beach.
- Visa: free on a visa-exempt stay, or the fee for a longer visa such as the DTV.
What changes the price most
- Camp style: big multi-discipline and resort camps usually charge more than traditional camps.
- Location: Phuket and the islands cost more to live in than Chiang Mai.
- Length: monthly packages lower the weekly cost of training and rooms.
- Season: the December to February high season pushes up room prices in Phuket and Samui.
Cutting the cost without cutting the training
- Stay a month instead of two weeks and negotiate a monthly room.
- Choose a guesthouse a short walk from the camp rather than on-site rooms.
- Eat where the Thai fighters eat.

| Camp (city) | Single class | 1 week | 1 month | Private session |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rawai Muay Thai (Phuket, traditional) | 300 | 3,000 | 10,000 | 800 |
| Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA (Phuket, multi) | about 900 (day pass) | about 4,000–5,000 | about 13,000–16,500 | — |
| Tiger Muay Thai (Phuket, multi), Muay Thai only | 500 | 4,400 | 13,500 | 800 |

| Tiger Muay Thai, training + room + meal card | — | 14,500 | 42,800 | — |
Rule of thumb for a month in Phuket: 10,000–17,000 baht of training, plus a room and food. Traditional camps and Chiang Mai sit at the bottom of the range, big multi-discipline camps at the top. Tiger's prices exclude 7% VAT.
