What’s the experience like?

We were already sweating before we even stepped into the gym—Bangkok’s heat does that to you, but honestly, it just added to the whole vibe. Our trainer, Lek, greeted us with this huge grin and handed over boxing gloves and shinguards (which I was grateful for after seeing the heavy bags). The place smelled like leather and tiger balm, and there was this steady thud of fists hitting pads from the other side of the room. Lek asked if we’d ever tried Muay Thai before—I laughed and said, “Only on YouTube.” He just nodded like, “No problem.”

The first few minutes were a blur of bouncing on our toes and learning how to wrap our hands properly. Lek showed us each move slowly—jab, cross, elbow—correcting my stance with a tap here or there. He kept saying “relax shoulders!” which is way harder than it sounds when you’re trying not to look ridiculous. At one point he demonstrated a kick so fast I barely saw it; the sound echoed off the walls. There was a little breeze coming in through the open doors, mixing with the smell of street food drifting in from outside. I remember thinking: this is nothing like working out at home.

By the end, we were both grinning and totally wiped out—my shirt stuck to my back, hair plastered down. Lek clapped us on the shoulders and said something about “good energy.” We took a quick photo together (he insisted), gloves still on. Walking back out into the bright afternoon felt weirdly triumphant. If you’re looking for a private Muay Thai lesson in Bangkok that feels real—not just for tourists—I’d say go for it. I still catch myself practicing those moves when no one’s watching.
