Watchara MuayThai Gym

I practised with trainers and brothers A and Tien on two separate occasions and found them to be really professional and friendly. I immensely enjoyed our sessions and they both really pushed me to get my forms right, while having a good laugh. Thanks to Beer for also helping me set up the appointment. A great training ground with a community-like feel. Will come back again!

Excellent gym for beginners and also for more advanced people. I trained for a full week and really enjoyed my time. All the trainers are excellent, efficient, encouraging, very friendly, and also at the same time funny. I can 100% recommend this gym if you want to get started!

Great place to train. Their drop in price is a little under 500 THB. They provide you with wraps and gloves. They do warm ups, pad work, and they let you spar towards the end letting you borrow shin guards as well. I highly recommend this gym. Just make sure you book in advance. It can even be same day

We stayed in a hotel nearby and found Watchara gym via Google Maps. I called the club, and we could have a private lesson even the same day.

Together with my wife and 2 daughters (9 and 12), we got a Muay Thai initiation lesson: we all learned the basics (after a warmup).

The trainer and owner were both very kind and we all found it a joy to get acquainted with Muay Thai.

We paid 2150 baht for 90minutes of training (for 4 people).

We can certainly recommend Watchara, for both beginners or more experienced fighters.

Amazing gym. My first time trying muay thai it was great. Teacher was very patient and really pushed me to go beyond my limits. I left sweating but with a great smile. Would reccomend to anyone wanting to try muay thai. The gym is air-conditioned and they have all the gear you would need. There was nobody else scheduled so it was a 1 on 1 session. There's also a 7-Eleven right by it which is very convenient and it's right by the ploen chit BTS station. Bring water but if you forget they can also provide a bottle for 10 Baht.

The gym is centrally located (a few minutes walk from Phloen Chit BTS station), clean, equipped with air-con, two changing rooms and one shower.
Facilities also includes most of what you may expect from a Muay Thai gym : heavy bags, pads, hand wraps, gloves, ring, skipping ropes etc...
The group class (90min long) follows a classic design : mild intensity warm up exercises, then you switch alternatively between hitting the bag and pad work with a coach (2 or 3 min) with some light fitness exercises between rounds, and you finish with some exercises on the bags (a few basic combos, knees and kicks) plus a quick stretch to finish.
It seems coaches take it easy overall in this gym but they do the job and they will adjust the intensity according to what they can see in you (fitness and/or skills level) and you can ask them to push you as well.
I had a very good time training there as I indeed managed to somehow communicate what I came for.
So if you know what you want and let their team know, you are likely to have a really good time over there.
Plus, they are nice, responsive and their prices are more than reasonable.
I will go there again.

We had a beginner training session with M and totally enjoy the moment with him despite language barrier. There is no language barrier in muay thai btw. If i am back, I will definitely go back for another session. M will look at each individual form to push us accordingly. Highly recommended!
