Train Muay Thai in Krabi

Southern mainland known for limestone cliffs and beaches. A smaller, calmer camp scene.

The area

What Krabi is like

Krabi is on the southern mainland, famous for its cliffs and clear water. The camp scene is smaller than Phuket, which makes for a calmer trip with fewer crowds. Ao Nang serves as the main base for most travelers, with Krabi Town a short drive away for local food and the night market.

We are adding verified Krabi camps. Until then, see the camps we have already checked on the camps page. Krabi is a strong choice for those who want scenery and a low-key training block without the density of Phuket.

Questions

Common questions

Is Krabi good for beginners?
It can be a calm place to start. The scene is smaller, so confirm class times and beginner options directly with a camp before you book.
How do I get to Krabi?
Krabi Airport receives direct flights from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. From there, Ao Nang is about a 30-minute drive. The train and bus from Bangkok via Surat Thani is an affordable overnight option.
