Stayed here for two weeks! Trained twice a day, and absolutely loved it. Training was awesome, the trainers were very good at their jobs and the pad holding and instruction was excellent. If you want to really experience Muay Thai, and really just forget about everything and train I highly recommend it. Definitely stay at the gym as well…perfect for the train, eat, sleep, train experience…the pool is a nice plus, you’ll need it…as you’ll be sore for sure!

Amazing experience at Santai Muay Thai Gym. The training was excellent, and trainer Chai taught me a lot about traditional Muay Thai during my 3-month stay. My stay at the villa was just as great. John and Noy are such lovely people and really make you feel at home. Noy even taught me how to cook several Thai dishes, which was an unforgettable bonus. Highly recommended!

Amazing! I spent two months here. Training is top notch -- all of the instructors help you improve your skills, whether you plan to compete or not, and whether you're staying for two months or just two weeks. All of the instructors have years of experience, and are quality in helping seasoned fighters and complete beginners. The training will be perfect for you whether you plan to compete, you just want to lose some weight and get more in shape, or if it's just sort of another part od your general tourist experience in Thailand. The gym is located in a calm village 30 minutes from Chiang Mai, and all of the necessities are a short walk away from any of Santai's lodging. There are cleaning services always available to you while you stay here, an office where you can manage your stay, and also a cute cafe where you can get your beverages and delicious meals. I will definitely be returning in 2026 for another long stay! :)

100% an Authentic Muay Thai Fight Gym. I say this because when I decided to come Thailand which have thousands of gyms so I did research of the top list of “Authentic Muay Thai Gyms” and in the north Santai was rated 1st. At the time I booked the prices were even discounted so for me I was like I’m all in. I booked a 6-month training package with accommodation and I can tell you that from day one from being picked up at the airport until the end of my 6-months I not only learnt proper Authentic Muay Thai from the original Muay Boran fundamentals, but I also became part of a beautiful Muay Thai Family. Santai is the only gym that brings nationalities with so many historic differences from all around the world and brings them together under the Thailand Flag and connect them through the Beautiful Art of Muay Thai. The trainers are super legit ranging from Rajadamnern champions to current OmNoi Stadium 5-round Muay Thai Fighters to One Championship Fighters which makes this an insane pedigree of trainers who can take you from basic “No Experience” straight into the ring for your first proper 5-round Muay Thai fight! If your willing to put in the work and respect the culture you can achieve great results in the “Art of 8 Limbs”. They are well managed and organized, AupAip is amazing and the gym is clean and hygienic. I rate them the number 1 Muay Thai Gym in Chiang Mai and that’s based on experience from making life long friend to having the honor to fight under the Santai Muay Thai banner! With this review I thank SANTAI MUAY THAI and wish for them extended blessings for their future and may they always remain the humble and beautiful gym that they truly are!!! Khob Khun Krup 🙏🏼💯💪🏼👊🏼🔥❤️

Perspective: As a beginner (2 months) and a drop in since I'm here for vacation only. I booked a private session via WhatsApp. When I came in for the training earlier, the trainer was already there waiting for me. He gave me some time to warm up by myself before the lesson started. After explaining I was a beginner he quickly went through the basics with me. After that we did padwork for the entire lesson which was what I wanted. It was calmer and more focused on the technique rather than an intensive beasting which is very good! I enjoyed the experience here and recommend this gym for anyone just wanting to drop in for a training or two. They even have their own shop with gear or will lend you some if you don't have it. (I brought my gloves and bought the handwraps as a souvenir) Great training! Thank you! I will visit sometime again.😊
