Amazing gym for all levels , beginner - already pro fighters. The trainers will make you laugh and feel at home everyday and push you hard when you think you have nothing left. Best few months in Thailand I’ve had so far , great opportunities for fighting at a level that will improve you win ,lose or draw . 🔥🔥🔥

I didn't like the vibe inside the hall. As I noticed, many people are talking about it.

The most cringe-worthy gym, which is suitable for a maximum of a week for beginners, even if you spend 1 year there - you will spar only using touches to the stomach, if you want to go to the bag - they will not let you do this - because you came to training and thus a year has passed and nothing has changed.

The best gym I have trained at in Thailand. They look after you and make sure you are okay. Constantly pushing me to work harder and it’s exactly what is needed to become a fighter.

Horrible gym, because they don't care about the trainees. They just show basic exercises for beginners, sparring is all just markings on the stomach and nothing more. In any gym in my country the most beginner trains much harder than here. They never talk to the trainees, it's their unspoken rule, you can notice it almost immediately. Wasted my time and money. Cringe gym, nothing to do there.

This is my second time in the past year and a half training at this gym. I have worked with several trainers doing 1 on 1 sessions and I have loved all of them! Each trainer has unique teaching styles and so I enjoy learning different things from each trainer and you can also schedule a session on their new app with a trainer you like to keep working with them consistently.I saw some negative review mostly about the gym being crowed or group classes not having enough correction given or being not advanced enough but Group classes are exactly that …“group classes” if people want personalized attention or more advanced training I think it is worth investing in a personal training session and getting more personalized attention. Group classes are not meant to be the same as a personal training session and so the expectation that you will be corrected every second or given advanced things to do in a group setting is a bit unrealistic . Group classes can get busy yes but you still get a good workout, can practice your own skills and techniques and so many comments I saw seemed quite unfair.There are definitely options for people who feel they are more advanced and so This gym is good for beginners, intermediate and advanced!Great and fun place to train and the owner is very friendly!!

I’ve been training Muay Thai for 2 years back home and decided to spontaneously to take a personal class at the gym. It was so good that I took two more classe the next days all with Michael. He’s a nice guy and i learnt a ton of things during this time.In general, the whole atmosphere is really welcoming and you see complete beginners to guys who regularly fight training here at the same time.

Great training although the gym was crowded we could have excellent training sessions!! Focus isMore on sparring and technique than pad work, which was for me perfect. And cheaper than all other gym. The only thing it is a bit impersonal, not a lot of human contact with the kruus. I will go again should we come back to Samui.

This place is absolute 🔥. Ralph the owner simply can’t do enough for you. He will give you advice on anything. The 1 to 1 are excellent I’d strongly advise doing them. (It’s not expensive) I had bin/lek and wave all top guys. Now there two classes a day. From 7 am until 9am. One class is for beginners and intermediate, and the other is for advanced/fighters. They are conditioning classes. Now if you go there and you’ve been doing Muay Thai ask to go into the advance class. I’ve seen people having a bit of a moan on here when all you have to do is move class. The same applies for the classes in the evening. Advance class is 4-6 and beginners 5-7. You’re training with people at the top of their game. If you want to fight, or simply get fit and learn a few things on your journey this place is for you. I can’t praise the guys enough for how much they taught me to bring home and use. Highly highly recommend 🙏

Spent a week training here, loved every minute of it. I did a PT w Kru Ching first day and he was very welcoming, experienced and knowledgeable, I was in safe hands! All the trainers were amazing, friendly and classes were well structured. There’s a good sign-in system and an amazing fight gear store. I would have loved to stay longer but I’ll be back. Thanks Lamai MT 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

I can’t recommend this gym enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and positivity. The coaches here are truly incredible—highly skilled, patient, and deeply passionate about Muay Thai. They take the time to correct your technique, push you to be your best, and motivate you every step of the way.The classes are not only challenging but also so much fun. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced fighter, there’s something for everyone. The environment is super supportive, and the sense of community is amazing—everyone encourages each other to improve and succeed.A huge thank you to the staff and coaches for creating such an authentic and welcoming space to train and learn. If you’re looking to dive into Muay Thai or level up your skills, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

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!
