Train Muay Thai in Pattaya

Three gyms from resort all-inclusive to traditional family camp, two hours from Bangkok.

The area

What Pattaya is like

Pattaya sits on the Gulf of Thailand about 150 kilometres from Bangkok and roughly 90 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport. It is a larger, denser city than Phuket or Koh Samui, with a Muay Thai scene that ranges from branded flagship facilities to independent family gyms.

The Pratamnak and Jomtien areas are the practical base for training travelers: quieter than central Pattaya, close to camps, and well supplied with restaurants, serviced apartments, and beach access. Kombat Group is a full resort in the Huai Yai suburbs. Fairtex is the most recognised name in the city. Battle Conquer offers technical training without resort pricing.

Questions

Common questions

How do I get to Pattaya from Bangkok?

Which area of Pattaya is best for training travelers?
Pratamnak and Jomtien are the quietest and most practical for gym access. Central Pattaya and Walking Street are noisier and less suited to a training schedule.
Is Pattaya safe?
The main tourist areas are safe for travelers who exercise standard precautions. Pratamnak and Jomtien are particularly calm and family-friendly compared to South Pattaya.
