Stay & train at our Muay Thai camp in Thailand

Wildcat is a family-run, open-air Muay Thai camp in a Chiang Mai garden: come for a week, a month or a season. Every level trains here, from a first jab to fight prep. Prices are in THB right on the page, our Stay & Train package puts the room and the training in one number, and you book with us directly.

Why train here

A family Muay Thai camp, not a fight factory

Most people who land here stay for weeks, not for a beating. Women training solo, complete beginners, couples and families all share the same shaded ring. You set your own pace: fitness-first or fight-first, both are welcome. The training is real and the coaches are Thai, but nobody is here to break you.

We're in Chiang Mai, in the north of Thailand, the part of the country the style grew out of. It costs less to live here than in Phuket or Bangkok, the pace is calmer, and the mountains are right there on your rest days. You get serious training without the resort-town price tag.

Daily training

Two open-air sessions a day, seven days a week. Gloves and wraps are loaned, so you can show up empty-handed on day one.

Garden & shade

Train outdoors under the trees, then cool down in the shade. Golden-hour rounds, no windowless gym.

Getting around

We sort you a scooter so you can explore between sessions: cafés, markets, the old city, all an easy ride away.

A room, included

Stay & Train comes with a private room in a shared house, air conditioned, bills included. Tell us your dates and it is ready.

Most camps that bundle a stay hide the breakdown behind a quote. Ours is one number in baht, published on this page, with what sits inside it and what does not written right there. You book with us directly, so nothing goes to an agency.

Where you'll stay

A room close to the ring

Stay & Train comes with a private room in a shared house, air conditioned and all bills included, so the simplest option is already inside your package. If you would rather rent on your own, Meaw also rents condos a short ride from the camp. No booking platform, no middleman, just a message.

If her places are full or you want something different, she knows the area well enough to point you at the right guesthouses and condos nearby. People come for a week and end up staying a month, so it's worth asking early.

Chiang Mai is one of the cheaper places in Thailand to rent, and most condos around here come with a pool and a small gym. Whether you want a month-to-month studio or just a room for a week, tell us the dates and the budget and we’ll line up something that fits.

Day to day

Life at the camp

The day has a rhythm. You train in the morning while it's still cool, then the middle of the day is yours: most people stretch out in the garden, nap in the shade, or ride out for coffee. The second session is in the afternoon, in the golden light. Train as hard as you want one day and take it easy the next; nobody's keeping score.

The camp sits in Nong Kwai, out in Hang Dong, an easy ride south-west of the city. On a scooter you've got cafés, waterfalls and the mountains close by. Chiang Mai's old city, night markets and temples are twenty minutes up the road whenever you want them.

The faces change but the feel doesn't. You'll train next to guests from all over: someone here for a week off work, someone three months into a longer stay, a family in for the school holidays. Evenings tend to be shared meals and easy company, and when there's a fight card in town, a few of us go and watch.

Need the wheels for all of that? we rent scooters right at the camp.

A typical week

What a week at the camp looks like

The days here have a simple shape. You train twice, you rest through the heat of the afternoon, and you eat well in between. Nobody clocks your hours outside the sessions, so the rhythm is yours to build.

Morning session

Training starts while it's still cool: warm-up, pad rounds, bag work and technique. Come to one session or both, it's up to you.

Midday

The hottest hours are for recovery. Most people nap in the shade, stretch out in the garden, grab local food or work from a café nearby.

Afternoon session

The ring fills up again as it cools down. Same structure, a little more sparring for those who want it, always optional.

Evenings and rest days

Evenings are quiet and yours. Take a day off when your body asks for it: a week has room for at least one.

Across a week it builds. The first days you'll be sore and learning the shots; by day five or six the combinations start to flow and the rounds feel shorter. A week gives you real basics, a month is where it clicks and sticks.

Staying longer?

Turn your stay into years.

Want to stay longer than a tourist visa allows? There's a visa for that: the Destination Thailand Visa lets you live here with Muay Thai as your reason to be, and we hand you the training documents to back your application.

Questions people ask us

How much does a Muay Thai camp in Thailand cost?

It depends a lot on where you go. Camps run anywhere from about 2,000 to 10,000+ THB a month for training alone, before food and a room. Ours is 28,000 THB a month with the room, the training, a motorbike and your airport pick-up included, and our class-only prices are listed on the classes page.

Can complete beginners train at a Muay Thai camp?

Yes. A lot of our guests have never thrown a punch before. Coaches start you with the basics and build from there. Your first Muay Thai class, explained

Which Muay Thai camp in Thailand is right for me?

Be honest about what you want. If you're chasing a hard, competitive fight camp, the big Phuket gyms do that well. If you'd rather train seriously in a calm, family-run place where the coaches learn your name, that's us. We're not the biggest, and we don't pretend to be. Meet Meaw and the coaches

How long should I stay and train?

A week is enough to get a feel for it. A month is where real progress starts to show. Past three months you're into long-stay territory. How to budget a few months in Chiang Mai

Is it safe to train Muay Thai in Thailand?

Training is as hard as you make it. You choose your intensity, and sparring is optional and supervised. Gloves and wraps are loaned and the coaches watch your form. We'd still tell anyone to come with travel insurance, the same as for any trip.

Do I need a visa to stay and train in Thailand?

For a short trip, most nationalities get a tourist entry on arrival and that's plenty. If you want to stay months, the Destination Thailand Visa is built for exactly this. How the DTV works

What should I bring to train?

Not much. Gloves and hand wraps are loaned, so you can turn up with nothing and start your first round. Bring shorts, a tee, a water bottle and sandals for around the ring. If you already own shin guards or a mouthguard you can bring them, but you don't need to buy anything before you arrive.

Do I need to book in advance?

For the training itself, no. You can just show up and pay for the days you train. Stay & Train is different: the room, the motorbike and your airport pick-up need a few days of notice, so message us your dates and your flight and everything is ready when you land. Tell us your dates

When is the best time of year to train in Chiang Mai?

You can train here year-round. The cool season, roughly November to February, is the most comfortable. March and April get hot, and the north can turn hazy during the burning season from late February through April, so if clean air matters to you, aim for the second half of the year. Whatever the month, the training does not stop.
