Levelling up your Muay Thai game: Training camp in Phuket, Thailand
Here are a few gyms in Phuket that promote fighters into top-level promotions / stadiums, meaning they may be good fits if your goal is to fight professionally (not just to train).
We recommend contacting each and asking specifically: “What connections to Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) or equivalent promotions do you have?"
Phuket Fight Club
Location: 19/2 Moo 3 Soi Palai, Chalong, Phuket 83130, Thailand.
What stands out:
-
They explicitly mention: “prepare for competitions abroad or fight in Thailand" shows they cater to fighters aiming to compete, not just casual training.
-
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.
-
Top Thai trainers as well as top Brazilian talent train here professionally
Tip / Consideration: -
Confirm matchmaking logistics: how many fights per year, how they determine opponent skill-match, and what your timeline would be
Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA
Location: 72/46 Moo 3, Bang Tao Beach Road, Soi 2, Cherngtalay District, Phuket 83110, Thailand.
- Bangtao is a large commercial gym with great training, top talent, a strong path to sponsorship and/or promotion, along with media and collaboration opportunities
- There are several examples of top UK talent that have fought in RWS since joining their gym. You can expect to train at the top level for at least 6 months to one year before receiving sponsorship, and you can see a path to RWS within 1.5 years on average depending on your level (coming in as a pro level athlete from the UK)
-
They run their own fight-night event series called “Bangtao Brawl” (Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing, Grappling) which shows they have experience staging fights.
-
From their FAQ: “Yes… we provide opportunities for those interested in participating in competitions or fights.” ― indicating they can facilitate fights.

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