Muay Thai - Santai Muay Thai Gym

I had never practiced any form of combat sports in my life. I joined in June of 2023, for 1 full month. It changed my life, I learned the grind and the basics. The coaches were the real deal, strict but fun/encouraging and lead by example approach. My only regret is not staying longer.

Trained here for 2 weeks and stayed at the JR House accommodation. Coaches are all super friendly and the top fighters in the area in their prime. Good if you're looking to restart/start from basics and not super intense worn out style. Very technical trainings 630am-8am and 430pm-6pm daily except Sunday. About 13km away from central Chiang Mai so it's a good training camp getaway. Food, banks, and clinic are 1km away and Grab Food is convenient.

I have recently been traveling through Thailand training at a variety of gyms. I have now returned back to Santai Muay Thai after my travels as it is by far the best gym I have had the pleasure of training at.
The trainers provide you with consistent coaching in all aspects of Muay Thai, from executing the basics correctly to more advanced clinching & boxing techniques. The trainers all have expert knowledge in Muay Thai and are able to provide you with world class coaching regardless if you are a professional or beginner. The classes are run well, on time and always feel inviting.

I spent 5 months here and it was the most awesome experience for me. The trainers are fun, friendly and VERY knowledgeable. I've learnt a lot, gained many new skills, and friends. I really enjoyed the training. Great gym. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to travel to Thailand, learn Muay Thai, or just improve their fitness. (I lost 13 kg in my time here 91 down to 78)
Well worth it.

Awesome Muay Thai gym, stayed here in November and December of 2019.
Very affordable housing and training, you can rent a motorbike as well for cheap, fantastic trainers, extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Gym is in town of San Kamphaeng about 25 min drive to Chiang Mai.
This gym has all levels, from beginner to world championship fighters !! Training twice a day 2-3 hour sessions.
The owners are extremely helpful and friendly as well.

Definitely plan on staying here and training here again next time I visit Thailand !!♥♥👍👍🥊🥊🇹🇭🇹🇭

Absolutely great gym with former stadium, Thailand and world champions as current trainers. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned fighter, or someone wanting to eventually fight, Santai can definitely help you achieve your Muay Thai goals. Perfect location for those wanting to be able to focus purely on training, but also not far from Chiang Mai city for a quick getaway. Delicious, cheap food and awesome cafes few minutes from the gym.

Best gym in Thailand. Location is perfect. Trainers are amazing and like to focus on technique. Accommodation is amazing and well priced. Enjoy my time here and never want to go back home. Gym is located near enough to shops and lots of places to eat. But far enough away from busy Chiang Mai (20 minute drive) to focus on training properly. Love this place and would recommend to anyone.

Was able to come in and do a drop in session. One of the best Muay Thai training sessions I have ever had. If you want real authentic Muay Thai training I can't recommend this place enough. You get world class trainers and train with other very good fighters. Everyone was very nice and helpful for it being my first time in the gym and everyone really motivates and helps you improve. I look forward to coming and training here again in the future.

Spacious and clean. Peaceful, in middle of country side. Excellent gym, poye is incredible kru and well credentialed. I learned more in 1 private with poye than 4 months of muay thai in the states. Highly recommend

Had a very memorable and fun 9 days at Santai last September. Came to Chiang Mai with friends and safe to say everyone is keen to come back. The trainers are very patient, knowledgeable and approachable, which is perfect especially for beginners like me. Every training session I've attended, I was given adequate attention amd supervision. You get a lot of time with each trainer during pad rounds, and they continue to watch you even when you're cooling down on bags. Their trainers are former stadium champions with a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills that they patiently try to teach every single one of us. Highly recommend this gym for anyone wanting to learn and sharpen their muay thai skills.

Amazing teachers, super friendly and very pedagogical. Hotel room with swimming pool was amazing. 100% recommended!

Good gym, trainers were great. There's not a ton to do in the area but that's good if you just want to focus on muay thai and not partying like down south, which would be distracting I felt. Jr house was clean and good quality. Thanks santai. I'll be back 🏋‍♂

Legit training with some of the best trainers in Thailand. Super low student to trainer ratio (max 4:1) numbers compared to other gyms so lots of time with trainers who care and take pride in teaching both locals and visitors. Lots of current fighters and champions so you know you learning with the best.

Def worth a visit and be part of the Santa family.

The trainers at Santai are very experienced. They’ll take time to to teach you technique and correct bad habits, while still getting you in fighting shape. Many pad holders in Thailand will just gas you out on the pads. They’ll teach about the rules and how fight smart according to real Thai scoring. I’ve trained at few places in Thailand so far but I’ve learned more in the past three months at Santai than anywhere else.

Head over and experience authentic Muay Thai with high level trainers who are friendly, fun and dedicated towards taking your abilities to the next level, regardless of your current skill and fitness ability.
Warm and welcoming community, with visitors who come to train from all corners of the globe.
Well managed, with a well equipped store, accomodation and scooters for hire, and two training sessions daily.
Transportation is made easy, with lifts to and from Chiang Mai airport, and lifts to and from Thapae Stadium to watch fights.
Many thanks and I look forward to next time.

I trained here for 5 months back in 2013 - 2014. The trainers are amazing, they take pride in their work and they work hard to make sure you are improving your skills. Training at Santai for one day is like training an entire week in Canada. The location is great. Dang's restaurant is down the road and he not only is a great trainer, he is a great cook as well. You can rent a scooter there as well just make sure to take a picture of it before you agree to rent it.

I loved my time there and if you are serious about training I would suggest you pay Santai a visit.

Only a short stay and felt very welcomed the moment i arrived. Dealing with Ood the owner was very easy and pleasant from organizing accommodation and transfers to providing information on what to expect on my stay.

The training was exceptional as they have elite level trainers who are ex champions in Thailand with many accolades, some of which are still active in their fighting, and the training camp translates this.

Santai Muay Thai is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning muay thai as a beginner or advancing to the next level of their fight career.

We came to Santai Muay Thai as a group from Australia in september 2019 and it was an amazing experience. From the moment we were picked up from the airport we were treated with such kindness and respect. In the short time that I got to train at Santai I learned so much and was even given the opportunity to fight locally. The pad holders at the gym are worldclass with a wealth of knowledge and are super approachable and fun. You can tell that they genuinely want you to improve and succeed and they put in so much time and effort to train you. The gym and facilities are also comfortable, clean and modern. Thank you so much Ood and the rest of Santai for such a wonderful experience in Chiang Mai. I hope to be back soon!!

Absolutely the best choice I you want to enjoy and learn real Muay Thai! Doesn't matter your level, you can start and learn since beginning or improve and get more experienced on your training and fights.
Great team with top level trainers that will focus on what you need as a Muay Thai student-fighter among raising stars thai fighters who can show you how great ones do it!!
The price is really cheap according with the top level training and so good located in San Kamphaeng, quiet and authentic town perfect to focus on training and just 20 mins riding from Chiangmai where you can discover and enjoy the real north thailand.
Really easy and well accommodation and so many cheap and nice places to eat!
Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a great experience training and enjoying with the best professionals on make such a great experience you will want to repeat 😉👌🏼

Great experience at Santai. Highly recommended for all different levels of training. This was my first time doing Muay Thai, I received plenty of personal attention and learned a basic technique within a few days. The trainers monitor your pace and teach you depending on your skill level. I highly recommend Santai if you want an authentic Muay Thai experience.
