Levelling up your Muay Thai game: Training camp in Phuket, Thailand

Here are three gyms in Phuket that explicitly promote fighters into top-level promotions / stadiums, meaning they may be good fits if your goal is to fight professionally (not just train).


We recommend contacting each and asking specifically: “What connections to Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) or equivalent promotions do you have?”

Location: 72/46 Moo 3, Bang Tao Beach Road, Soi 2, Cherngtalay District, Phuket 83110, Thailand. Find Glocal+1
What stands out:

  • They run their own fight-night event series called “Bangtao Brawl” (Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing, Grappling) which shows they have experience staging fights. bangtaomuaythai.com+2bangtaomuaythai.com+2

  • From their FAQ: “Yes… we provide opportunities for those interested in participating in competitions or fights.” ― indicating they can facilitate fights. bangtaomuaythai.com
    Tip / Consideration:

  • While they clearly promote fight opportunities, check specifically whether they have placements into top-promotions or stadiums (like Rajadamnern World Series or major Thai stadiums) or whether most fights are local.

  • Ask how soon after arrival you might get matched for a fight, and what their fighter-track criteria are (record, weight, training duration).

    Tip / Consideration:

  • While they show strong credentials, ask them for examples of foreign fighters they’ve placed into top promotions/stadiums and what proportion of fighters make that step.

  • Confirm matchmaking logistics: how many fights per year, how they determine opponent skill-match, and what your timeline would be.

  • This suggests they work with fighters who aim for fights beyond just tourist drop-in level.
    Tip: Ask them:

Why it fits your criteria:

  • Formerly known as Sitsongpeenong Phuket, and their website says their fighters go on to sign deals with major promotions: “Magnus … agreed terms to sign a contract with Top King World Series…” revolutionphuketgym.com

  • This suggests they have experience placing fighters into serious promotional platforms.
    Tip: Ask them:

  • Whether they have current fighters in RWS or equivalent stadium promotions.

  • What their process is for foreigners (if you’re non-Thai) to fight on those promotions.

  • How they support visa/permit, matchmaking, and training programs for competition.



If your goal is to be supported into a top promotion like RWS, these gyms are strong candidates. Each has stated programs or histories of fighter-placement rather than just general fitness or tourist-training.


When you contact them, key questions will be:

  • Proof of recent fights in major promotions/stadiums.

  • How you qualify to join their fight-camp program.

  • What costs (apart from training) you need to expect (accommodation, visa, fight fees).

  • What timeline they expect for matchmaking and how many fights you could realistically expect in a year.
