Hongthong Muay Thai

Amazing community and the best place to train in Chiang Mai in my opinion! I learned a lot from both the krus and the students, from beginners to advanced. I also took private sessions with Kru Game. He’s a patient and positive teacher, and his style builds muscle memory effectively. A great place for deep learning in a supportive, safe environment. Can't wait to come back soon!

The gym facilities were really good, and the location is great. Unfortunately, my overall experience was not positive. The gym advertises itself as beginner-friendly, but that was not my experience at all. I have some basic Muay Thai experience, but when the instructors asked at the beginning of the class if there were any beginners, I chose to say that I was one. At first, everything was fine. We practiced some basic techniques and did a bit of pad work. However, after about 45 minutes, the instructors seemed to forget about us. The class is two hours long, and we were simply told to hit the bag, with no guidance. The next time I saw a instructor, there were only about 30 minutes left. At the end we did some light sparring with other beginners, but no one explained how to spar properly or gave us any instruction. Overall, it did not feel beginner-friendly at all. I felt unwelcome, and if the gym does not want beginners, it should not advertise itself as such. Considering the 400 baht fee, the experience was very disappointing.

I’ve been training at HongThong Muay Thai in Chiang Mai for over a year now, and it truly feels like home. The trainers here are incredible, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve, no matter their level. Joe and the whole team make you feel supported and challenged at the same time. The atmosphere is what makes this gym so special. It’s a real mix of hard training and good energy, fighters, travelers, and locals all training together and cheering each other on. You get proper traditional Muay Thai, but also a strong sense of community and friendship. The gym is clean, well-run, and in a peaceful area not far from the city. Over the past year I’ve seen my technique, fitness, and confidence grow so much thanks to the coaches here. If you’re serious about Muay Thai or just want to experience real Thai training with amazing people, I can’t recommend HongThong Muay Thai enough. This place has become a huge part of my life.

Legit muay thai gym in Chiang Mai with highly skilled trainers— Joe is a master at muay thai and some are still actively fighting so you get to learn from and train alongside the best. Hongthong has a real family vibe, the team genuinely take care of you, whether you’re just starting or looking to fight. The local stadiums are just down the road so it’s very convenient for fighting in Chiang Mai. Also the on site accommodation is clean and right next to the gym. Scooters are also available to rent from coach Fab 😁 Highly recommend

Words cannot describe the vibes. I did this as a New Year’s resolution. I fell further in love the staff the training and the wonderful friends I got to meet are in my heart for a lifetime. Special Thanks to Coach Fab coordinating and taking care of me and friend. As well as coach Non for the one on ones. Overall a great gym. I had a great experience and elevated my game the month I was there.
