Tiger Muay Thai Phuket

Who can train at Tiger Muay Thai?

Anyone can: Tiger Muay Thai's own website says the camp welcomes every level of fitness and skill in all its classes (checked November 2026).

Muay Thai is split into beginner, intermediate and advanced groups, plus an invite-only class for pro fighters.

A class runs about two hours: kicks, knees, elbows, boxing, the clinch, then ring fitness to finish.

Each class has seven to eight trainers watching, so a first-timer gets corrected, not ignored.

Never trained? Start in the beginner class and tell Tanner, and he books the right group.

What time are the classes?

Group Muay Thai runs twice a day, 8am to 10am and 3pm to 5pm, on the camp's published timetable (checked November 2026).

Around it, the camp runs more than 20 kinds of class and over 150 classes a week, from BJJ and MMA to boxing, yoga and HYROX.

The 8am class is the one to book on a party trip: you're done by 10am, and the beach is waiting.

Ask Tanner for the 8am slot and the car at 7:30.

Where is Tiger Muay Thai?

Tiger Muay Thai is at 7/35 Moo 5, Soi Ta-iad, Ao Chalong, in the south of Phuket, on the street the camp calls "The Soi".

The street is lined with gyms, juice bars and fight shops, so the whole road lives on training.

Most groups stay in a villa or in Patong and drive in for the morning class.

Your own luxury van for up to 4 is from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, or a party van for up to 10. Ask Tanner, and the car waits outside the gym.

A training day on a party trip

Train in the morning, party at night: it's the Phuket week that works for a group.

• 8am: the Muay Thai class at Tiger, two hours, every level on the mats.
• Noon: a massage and lunch, then a beach club daybed by 2pm.
• 9pm: fight night at Bangla Road, then your own VIP section at Illuzion.

Tell Tanner how many mornings you want on the mats, and he builds the week around them.

BBQ Beatdown, the camp's party

Once a month the camp throws BBQ Beatdown: an all-you-can-eat barbecue, amateur Muay Thai and MMA fights, live music and a DJ, Tiger Muay Thai's own website says.

Guests, trainers and staff all come, so it's the easiest way to see the camp at its loudest.

Ask Tanner whether a BBQ Beatdown falls on your dates, and he lines up the evening after.

Tiger Muay Thai or a smaller gym?

Tiger is the name everyone knows and the biggest choice of classes; a smaller gym on the same street gives more one-to-one time.

For a group on a party trip, Tiger wins: the level is matched for you, and nobody trains alone.

For a month of serious training, compare the camps in our Muay Thai camp guide.

Not sure which one? Send Tanner your level and your dates.

Why is Tiger Muay Thai famous?

Tiger is famous for its fighters: Tiger Muay Thai's own website names UFC champions Valentina Shevchenko and Alexander Volkanovski as TMT fighters.

The brand now has licensed gyms in Bali, Singapore, the Philippines and the Gold Coast, and a second Thai camp in Chiang Mai.

Muay Thai itself is official Thai heritage: the Ministry of Culture registered it as national intangible cultural heritage on 30 July 2010, the government's Public Relations Department says.

Train where the champions trained, then ask Tanner for the fight seats that evening.
