Buakaw Banchamek's personal training camp in Mae Taeng, north of Chiang Mai.
Banchamek Gym is the personal training camp of Buakaw Banchamek, a multiple K-1 World MAX champion and one of the most recognised names in Muay Thai. The camp sits in Mae Taeng, north of Chiang Mai, and takes a traditional approach: session packs rather than monthly memberships, two training periods per day, and no frills. It opens Tuesday to Sunday.
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| 30-session pack (1 month) | 15,000 THB |
| 15-session pack | 8,000 THB |
| Private lesson (1-on-1, 2 hours per day) | 1,200 THB per day |
Prices are from the official site. No weekly package is listed. Accommodation is not offered on site. Private lesson rates for Thai residents differ (800 THB per day). Monday is a rest day. Confirm current rates at banchamekgym.com before booking.
Tuesday to Sunday, 07:00 to 20:00. Monday is closed. Two training periods per day, morning and afternoon.
No accommodation on site and none listed on the official site. Students need to arrange their own rooms in Mae Taeng or in Chiang Mai city.
A good fit for people who want to train at Buakaw's own camp and experience a traditional, focused approach. The Mae Taeng location makes the training trip itself a destination. Not suited to those who need accommodation on site, who want MMA or BJJ alongside Muay Thai, or who prefer confirmed pricing before booking.
