I live in jomtien and want to start training in muay thai and was wondering if there is anyone on here that can recommend a good trainer and gym in my area or pattaya?

Any info on other martial arts trianing around would be helpful too.

^{The Kombat group looks good, but the prices there and fairtex look rather pricey for one off sessions. Ther guy at Kombat group charges 2,500 for 1 2 1 sessions (1 hour)......considering were in Thailand I think its a bit steep.}

Hi Punchy,

I have tried a few. Fairtex is for the professionals these people are serious and training for fights...dam good instructors all pro fighters. Excellent facilities 4 rings well worth a visit. Last time i went you could get a 500 baht trial session with a pro for as long as you could last in the ring - usually 3-4 rounds in this heat.

Down a level you have Tony's all ex pro's but down a gear and very friendly will teach you sparring if you up to it in this heat. Very friendly instructors go at your pace -can be done per hour.

Sitpholek now up on Sukumvit road has some very good old school teachers - ex K1 fighters know their stuff - can get a bit bloody.

One of my favourites I found near Pattaya Park run by an Irishman - basically they charged a few hundred baht for one on one training in the ring - covering just what I wanted. 

You are spoilt for choice basically....the heat is the real challenge.....

yeah well i'm no pro hahah
I'm unfit. I used to box but it's been a long time since i have done any serious training.
So i'm really looking for a low key place for fitness and basics at this stage and work up from there.
Thanks allot mate

yeah i went out to the kombat gym and had a suss...

it is a bit pricey but if i was really serious it seems pretty good. 2x 2 hour sessions a day plus meals and a room for like 30k a month if i rememeber correctly.
