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?”
Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA
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).
Phuket Fight Club
Location: 19/2 Moo 3 Soi Palai, Chalong, Phuket 83130, Thailand. Phuket Fight Club+1
What stands out:
-
They explicitly mention: “prepare for competitions abroad or fight take parts in fights in Thailand” which shows they cater to fighters aiming to compete, not just casual training. Phuket Fight Club+1
-
Their site notes they have achieved important titles in Thailand: “Thai National Title, WBC World title, several WPMF World Titles, Toyota Cup, Max Muay Thai…” etc., indicating they have a serious fighter program. Phuket Fight Club+1
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.
Powerhouse Phuket
Why it fits your criteria:
-
Their website states: “We have contacts with the biggest promotions across Phuket and Bangkok, so fight opportunities will be available.” Powerhouse Phuket+1
-
They offer a sponsored fighter program: free unlimited training (with conditions) for fighters who meet certain pro-fighting criteria. Powerhouse Phuket
-
They also say their fighter class is “for our high level fighters that are either currently in fight camp or between fights.” Powerhouse Phuket
Tip: If you approach them, ask: -
Which promotions their fighters have recently fought for (especially RWS or major stadium titles).
-
How many fights per year they arrange for sponsored fighters.
-
What level you need to be (record / experience) before you can join the “fighter class”.
Phuket Muay Thai Gym
Why it fits your criteria:
-
They have a Sponsored Fighter Program: “Our sponsorship program is designed to give talented individuals the chance to train, fight, and flourish in Thailand, South East Asia, and beyond.” Phuket Muay Thai
-
This suggests they work with fighters who aim for fights beyond just tourist drop-in level.
Tip: Ask them: -
Which regional shows or stadiums their sponsored fighters have fought in.
-
How they manage matching and fight scheduling for non-Thai fighters.
-
What is required to be eligible for sponsorship (record, stay period, visa etc).
Revolution Muay Thai Camp
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.
