Koh Samui Muay Thai Advanced Class & Sparring Session

Summary

Lamai Afternoon Fighter Training with Local Coaches

Push yourself with an advanced Muay Thai class in Lamai: start with a local run, train alongside real fighters and coaches, and finish sweaty but satisfied. Gear’s included and every moment—from sparring to clinching—feels authentic enough to stick with you long after you leave the ring.

What’s the experience like?

So there we were, lacing up our shoes outside the gym in Lamai—sweat already starting to bead on my forehead just from the sticky late afternoon heat. Our coach, arms folded and grinning like he knew exactly how much pain was coming, waved us out for the run. “Four kilometers,” he said, but honestly it felt longer with that salty air and the smell of grilled chicken drifting from some roadside stall. I remember thinking, this is what a real Muay Thai advanced class in Koh Samui is supposed to feel like—no shortcuts.

After the run, everyone sort of collapsed into stretching and rope skipping. There was this mix of languages—German, Thai, English—echoing off the gym walls while we shadowboxed under these flickering fluorescent lights. The coach kept shouting corrections (“Elbow higher! Chin down!”), and at one point he actually laughed when I flinched during clinching drills. Sparring came next; you could hear the slap of gloves on pads and someone’s phone playing old-school hip hop in the background. It’s weirdly comforting, that chaos.

I still think about how focused everyone was during pad-work—like even though we were strangers, we all wanted to get better together. They handed out boxing gloves and shinguards (thank god), so you didn’t have to worry about bringing your own gear or anything. By the time we finished stretching at the end, my shirt was soaked through and I felt… not just tired but kind of proud? If you’re looking for a proper private Muay Thai class in Koh Samui that pushes you but doesn’t take itself too seriously, this is it.
