Is a Thailand camp worth it?

A calculator for flights, a room, food, and the paid time off you would spend, set against the progress you would get for it.

In short

A two week camp in Thailand often works out near the per session cost of training once a week at home, once you count twenty or more sessions. You pay it upfront in flights, a room, and about ten days of paid time off. The calculator below gives your own number.

Two sessions a day for two weeks is around two dozen sessions. At one a week near home that is close to half a year of training, done in a fortnight.

A lower cost a session than you expect

Because you train so often, the trip can land near what a single private session costs at home, even after flights and a room.

Immersion that sticks

Thai Kru, clinch, and daily pad work in the home of the sport. The technique and habits come home with you.

Common questions

Before you book the flight

Is it cheaper to train in Thailand or at home?
It depends on flights and time off. Because a camp gives you twenty or more sessions in two weeks, the cost a session often lands near a single session at home. The upfront total is larger, and you spend paid time off. Use the calculator above for your own number.
How much time off do I need for a two week camp?
About ten work days for two weeks, since weekends are not counted. Many people go for one week, or add travel days around a public holiday to use less leave.
How fast will I improve at a camp?
Two sessions a day, six days a week, moves you far quicker than a weekly class. Beginners usually leave with cleaner technique, better fitness, and real clinch and pad experience.
What does a two week camp cost all in?
As a rough guide, training is about $140 to $320, a room about $250 to $850, and food a few hundred, plus your flights. The calculator adds your own numbers. Confirm current rates with the camp.
