My 16 year old son has been taking Muay Thai lessons in Australia and wanted to learn from the source while we took a holiday in Phuket. He said he learnt so much more from Khun Laypang than from his teacher in Australia. Khun Laypang is an ex Muay Thai fighter. He is professional, firm yet kind. Would highly recommend.

Great place for training and practicing trchniques. The trainers Mr Air and his apprentices are great coaches and help you practice to be become more confident in your technique. Trained everyday for 10 days and would highly recommend to anyone.

I have sent many customers and staff to Khun Air over the years... everyone has been grateful for the recommendation. Great location, authentic Muay Thai and a very nice guy at a very reasonable price. Give it a whirl you won't be disappointed... sore maybe but will have a smile

Disappointing Experience
The group session was shorter than advertised and mostly on the punching bag. A "private session" offered as compensation turned out to be another group class. When I complained, the staff became aggressive, and I was even hit. Completely unprofessional—avoid this gym!

Khun Air just rip off people. Pretending he gives a private package special deal and then never has time for private training. Making appointments and then canceling every time. After asked for refund got angry and started attacking physically.
When called police - he lied to police the deal was different, just to use the gym, not for private training.
Absolute rip off. Please avoid making any deals with him.

Trained for a week during my stay and learned so much here! The trainers are experienced and make the class fun and despite a slight language barrier, we were able to communicate the techniques effectively. Along with my own individual sessions, my family did a group lesson there and really enjoyed it! This is a locally owned gym so it definitely has that "raw" and "hardcore" feel to it. There are other "fancy" gyms around Phuket, but training here just feels more authentic...can't wait to come back next year!

Thought to book a lesson for the entire family . Might as well learn from the masters! I read reviews and found this gym close to where we were staying in Kamala Beach. Easy to find. It’s outdoors with a shade covering. We arranged by email, but assume you can call to set something up as well.
For an out of shape and not too athletic family , they catered to our skill level. Coach Aih ( Ismail) was great! Was a great first lesson of basics! The entire family enjoyed the lesson and got an intense workout too! If we had done this at the beginning of our vacation, I would have scheduled more sessions. Unfortunately, I didn’t arrange until our last day:(
My kids were not all keen for this experience before we went, but happy to report that they all loved it! They are ages 14, 12, and 9.
Recommended activity for the entire family.
We would return here if we come back to Phuket.

I decided that on my visit to Thailand I would get a lesson in Muay Thai. I have never done anything like this before but wanted to try something new so I looked on the internet and there were good reviews for a small independent Muay Thai gym in Kamala Beach. If I’m honest I was slightly sceptical because there were no bad/average reviews. I popped down on the Saturday and booked a lesson for 9am on Sunday morning. I went along and was not disappointed at all. Mr Air is a great coach and a really nice guy, he tailored the lesson to my experience level and despite speaking only basic English we got along really well. He taught me a lot to do with technique and I feel like I definitely got my money’s worth (800 baht) for my hour and a quarter. I’ve never released so much sweat in a fitness session!!
I got to meet Mr Air’s wife and two daughters (the youngest of which was about four years old and was very keen on Muay Thai as well - she showed me a few techniques!!!) and they were all lovely.
I’d highly recommend this as a place to gain expert, friendly tuition regardless of your skill level.

First time to try Muay Thai, didn’t know what to expect, so happy with the first session did repeated sessions everyday of our holiday.
Altogether four one on one hour long sessions over four days, with passionate, considerate and enthusiastic advice from instructor, Mr Air.
Just turned up in a pair of gym shorts, for a great workout. MrAir who has 250 pro fights under his belt, was a commiserate professional and would happily recommend him and go back next time I am in Phuket.
It is also a family friendly gym, there were 3 young kids from France training with Mr Air before my class.
