We had an unreal experience here, both as complete beginners with zero fighting experience.We booked a private one hour session for the two of us. Our instructor, Bin, taught us the basics, from punching and jabbing, to kicking. The session was hard work but we were given regular pauses for water and to catch our breath. Bin was excellent - really patient and explained things well.Whilst I have possibly never worked so hard in my life, I felt like I learnt so much and am excited to come back and join in a group session! My boyfriend also loved it.

Good workout and technical drills, but usually too many people in the group classes, so only 2 rounds on the pads. The younger trainers usually came around the pair drills and corrected technique, but a few of the older ones seemed indifferent, so the atmosphere wasn't what it could be.

2 hours of sheer mental and physical effort all in the hands of professional team member. Loved the group workout. Such a top class experience. The trainers and other members are so welcoming and make the total feel for the workout sensational! Thanks Ralph and team for the unforgettable experience. I will be back for more.

The best gym and trainers! I first came here 11 years ago having never done Muay Thai or even travelled alone. I stayed on camp, trained twice a day and met people from all over the world. The classes are for all levels and 11 years on I'm still attending and enjoying every minute.

Bajo mi punto de vista hay demasiada gente por clase. Creo recordar que eramos mas de 20. Los entrenadores van un poco saturados y no eran precisamente simpaticos o agradables. Serios y al grano. Está bien. Experiencia aceptable/buena.

I would rate this gym with 4 stars because they could do a better work with the group class.The group class are overcrowded, and i think the trainers don’t follow you a lot as they should do, and for a guy who want compete and want to do some training in the group class, the trainings are too soft compared to others thai gyms.About the private lessons, the trainers are really good, i had the opportunity to train with Jap, and he helped me a lot to become a better fighter and improve my weaknesses

I was overall quite disappointed with my 3 weeks of training at Lamai Muay Thai Camp. Having practiced Muay Thai for around 10 years, this was my first time training in Thailand, and my expectations were not met.There are about 5 to 8 coaches at each group training session, but once they assign an exercise, they don't move among the students to correct their techniques. They wait on the side until the time runs out before giving you another exercise. The group classes were almost all the same, with repetitive exercises, drills, and combos. As someone with a bit of experience, I expected to learn new techniques, but I didn't learn anything new. It was only basic and similar ones.The afternoon class (5pm to 7pm) is ALWAYS EXACTLY the same, with the same coach giving always the same exercises. After less than a week, I was already getting bored with this class but continued to attend because I had already paid for 3 weeks. Yes, you will work out and sweat, but there is nothing about improving your Muay Thai acumen here.I tried the advanced class a few times, but the coaches didn’t provide any advice, feedback, or tips there either.In 3 weeks, we did clinching only once in the normal group class! In the advanced class, there are always 2 rounds of clinching, but again, the coaches do not watch or correct you.On the positive side, the personal training sessions are good. You can tell your coach what you want to work on, and they'll teach you some good techniques. I can't help but wonder if they intentionally withhold advice in group classes to encourage personal training sessions.The facilities are good too, with ample space, several rings, and bags.

Lamai Muay Thai Camp is the best. No need to waste your time anywhere else. The owner and his staff will look after you. All the trainers are experienced, everyone is friendly and it feels like one big happy family. Being part of the World Muay Thai council you know it's a genuine Muay Thai Camp. They also have highly successful fighters training at the Camp.I felt welcomed during my stay. The accommodation has everything you need and you are in the perfect area of Samui.Thank you everyone at Lamai Muay Thai camp, I had an amazing experience on the wonderful Island of Samui 🙏

5 stars! I dropped two times on my 1 week holiday for 2h afternoon session. Really great versatile training. It's really popular but they have many trainers and as it was my first session since 15 years, trainers still had time to give me attention and give me corrections.

Haben dort eine Woche täglich zwei Mal trainiert. Überragend! Mehr braucht man nicht sagen… Kein typisches Touristengym, sondern auch sehr gutes Niveau im Gruppentraining. Mehrmals Einzeltraining mit Nong gebucht und sehr viel von ihm gelernt. Weltklasse Trainer! Es war mir eine Ehre.In dem legendären Gym atmet man den authentischen Muaythai Spirit tagtäglich ein.Zeitgleich trainieren dort sehr viele Weltklasse Kämpfer.Wir kommen wieder!

It was my first time trying Muay Thai and I was really impressed and scared before I started (I am overweight, I have several injuries and had never practiced any combat sport).I was advised to start with a private session and I loved it so much I booked one every day until I left Ko Samui.I had a kind, patient and motivating trainer who pushed me to do better and supported me through my training.I had such a great experience it made me want to find a club back home and keep training until my next visit in Ko Samui.Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

Lamai MuayThai est une grande école de boxe thaïlandaise ! J’ai assisté à l’entraînement du matin, ce fut une très belle expérience grâce à la pédagogie des entraîneurs et à leurs compétences. L’entraînement était à la fois physique et technique, j’ai appris des choses intéressantes sur une seule séance de groupe. Je reviendrais merci 🙏🏼

Advanced class is great if you are competing, high level training and coaching, and many skilled partners to spar with.Open class during dec-jan is too crowded, and mostly consists of drills with a partner and general fitness drills,not so much individual attention from trainers as hoped.

Ich habe im Lamai Muay Thai mehrere Gruppen- sowie Einzeiltrainings absolviert. Die Einzeltrainings habe ich bei Coach Vorn absolviert, ein super Trainer welcher meine Technik massgeblich verbessert hat. Er korrigiert während den Pratzenübungen durchgehend, dies macht das Training sehr wertvoll. Der beste Mix für mich war 1x täglich Einzeltraining und 1x Gruppentraining. Das Gruppentraining ist sehr gut besucht (meistens 20-40 Kämpfer). Am Anfang war ich etwas skeptisch durch die Gruppengrösse aber ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Das Training wird durch mehrere Coaches begleitet welche korrigieren und Pratzen machen. Mir hat es extrem Spass gemacht mit so vielen Kämpfern Sparring zu machen und von Leuten auf allen Niveaus zu profitieren.Ich werde definitiv wieder kommen!

They have welcomed her with open arms and have taught her so much she didn’t know in a short period of time!She will miss training with them and will be back next year to carry on where she left off!Recommend giving this gym a go if you’re in Lamai area!Thanks again Jack and Joe, Eva will miss you both
