Multi-day to multi-week intensive training at gyms and camps designed for tourists.
Tourist camps in Khlong San, near BTS, offer structured programs for first-timers — often 2–4 hours daily, Mon–Fri.
Warm-up, pad work with trainer, bag work, clinching, conditioning — exhausting but exhilarating.
Day class: 300–500 THB; week package: 2,000–3,000 THB; month: 5,000–8,000 THB (much cheaper than Western gyms).
Some camps include lodging; others are gym-only.
Most tourist-friendly camps run two sessions daily (early morning and late afternoon, avoiding the midday heat) covering technique, pad work with a trainer, bag work, and conditioning — see the specific camps guide for named recommendations.
Camps generally welcome complete beginners and will scale intensity accordingly, though a base level of general fitness makes the first few days considerably more manageable — expect to be sore in muscles you didn't know you had.
A single week of twice-daily training typically runs 3,000–6,000 THB depending on the camp's facilities and reputation; many visitors extend to 2–4 weeks once they discover how much technique there is to absorb — see also the single-session option if you just want to try it once.
