Experience Thailand’s National Sport — Up Close

If you’re looking to add something dynamic, cultural, and unexpectedly fun to your golf holiday, a Muay Thai lesson might be just what you need. Known as the “Art of Eight Limbs,” Muay Thai is Thailand’s most famous martial art — a combination of discipline, agility, tradition, and power. And don’t worry, you don’t have to be a fighter to step into the ring.

Fairways of Eden partners with respected Muay Thai gyms across Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin, and Bangkok, offering travelers the chance to train with experienced Thai instructors — many of whom are former or current professional fighters. These are not intimidating, hardcore boot camps. They’re friendly, welcoming environments where everyone from absolute beginners to experienced boxers can learn, sweat, and have a blast.

Train Like a Fighter, Without the Pressure

Each session is tailored to your fitness level and experience. Never thrown a punch in your life? No problem. You’ll start with a warm-up, some basic techniques, and footwork drills. Already familiar with martial arts? You’ll get a more intense workout, with pad work, combos, and real Muay Thai movement. The goal isn’t to turn you into a champion — it’s to give you a taste of this incredible sport and culture while having a great time.

Most sessions last around two hours and include hotel pickup, training gear (like gloves and wraps), and guidance throughout. You’ll train in authentic open-air gyms or modern studios — depending on your destination — with an atmosphere that’s high-energy but encouraging.

Where You Can Train

• 🥊 Phuket – Home to some of Thailand’s most famous Muay Thai gyms, offering beachside views and professional setups. Combine it with a spa day or a sunset boat ride afterward.
• 🥋 Pattaya – Great for groups and beginners, with gyms that blend fun and fitness. Many of them offer post-training smoothies, showers, and a chance to meet locals and fellow travelers.
• 🦶 Hua Hin – A more relaxed vibe, perfect for those who want to explore Thai martial arts in a peaceful, less touristy setting. You’ll find supportive instructors and a strong community feel.
• 🏙️ Bangkok – For those starting or ending their trip in the capital, Bangkok offers access to historic Muay Thai gyms and modern training centers right in the heart of the city. Train like the pros or opt for a more casual session — all just a short ride from your hotel.

No matter the destination, we’ll help you find the right gym for your schedule and vibe. Want something close to your hotel? Prefer a beachy open-air setup? Traveling solo or as a couple? We’ll match you with a session that fits.

A Unique Way to Connect with Thai Culture

Muay Thai is more than just a workout — it’s a huge part of Thai identity and history. Training with locals gives you a unique window into that world. You’ll learn not only techniques but also the traditions behind the movements, like the Wai Khru (traditional pre-fight dance), respect for your trainers, and how Thai fighters use rhythm, timing, and strategy.

For many travelers, it’s one of the most authentic and memorable parts of their holiday — a story they take home that goes far beyond golf scores and cocktails. You’ll likely leave sore, sweaty, smiling… and proud.

Fun, Challenging, and Great for Groups

Thinking of bringing friends along? Muay Thai lessons are perfect for small groups looking to do something new together. You’ll train side-by-side, cheer each other on, and maybe even challenge each other with a friendly round of kicks on the bag. It’s a great bonding experience — and a nice counterbalance to the quiet focus of a golf day.

Couples also love this package. It’s active, interactive, and definitely outside the usual vacation box. And for solo travelers, it’s a confidence-boosting way to engage with local culture and meet people in a different setting.
