There is a part of you that you have yet to discover

Most of the time you travel to discover new places. What if you could discover the other side of you during your journey? Through creative tourism experiences, visitors to Thailand can expect life-changing lessons revealing undiscovered part of themselves. From craft making to Thai boxing; learning about agricultural cornerstones such as rice farming to massage instruction; and lessons in preparing the unquestionable defining cuisine, local experts are eager to share their knowledge.

Muay Thai is probably the most unique subject you can study in Thailand where you’ll learn an ancient and fascinating sport, but more importantly you’ll gain a new confidence in yourself.

Steeped in tradition and folklore, Muay Thai’s roots date back to the ancient Siamese kingdoms. It is undoubtedly a demanding sport that takes practitioners to new physical limits. It is through this highly disciplined training that students discover their inner strength, as mind over body is the ultimate form of perseverance. It is sometimes said a student does not learn to fight his ...
... opponent but rather finds the fighter in him or herself.

Muay Thai, often called Thai Boxing or Kick Boxing by foreigners, is Thailand’s national sport and remains popular throughout the country. It has a lot of prestige in Thailand and is gaining international recognition through world competitions, many of these broadcast on global television networks. And more and more students are spreading the excitement of the sport to their home countries.

Spectators can see exciting and fast passed bouts in stadiums throughout the country. Fighters strike their opponent with their hands, feet, knees and elbows, and use clinching techniques in an often furious struggle in a standard-sized boxing ring.

The sport takes a lot of training, both mental and physical, to reach fighting condition. But the benefits of that training start right away, and many people study Muay Thai for the conditioning and never fight. It has been a man’s sport for centuries but, in recent years, has gained popularity with women, both for its vigorous workout to stay in shape, and for a few to fight against opponents in the ring.

Nearly every city and small town in Thailand has a Muay Thai ring and several places where Muay Thai fighters practice, but the best locations for foreigners who don’t speak Thai are in the following cities:

Bangkok
Chiang Mai
Chonburi
Hua Hin, Prachuapkhirikhan
Koh Samui and Phangan, Surat Thani
Nakhonratchasima
Pathumthani
Phuket
Samutprakarn
Samutsongkhram
