My rating: 2.5/5 - average 5/5 - a must-try, willing to travel for it TLDR: 4.5/5 A fairly good first time experience as a tourist, experience may vary if you go there long term. I visited Watchara MuayThai Gym to get a feel for the local training scene. It's situated in a very convenient location that's a short walk away from the BTS station. The gym is air-conditioned. Depending on your preference, this makes training much more bearable in the Bangkok heat. The space felt clean and well-maintained. There are vending machines outside for water and two changing cubicles with one shower available. They do not provide towels, so make sure to bring your own. The toilet entry takes 2 baht, just ask the staff for entry and they will provide you the coins. The workout was solid and well-paced. The 90 minutes consisted of: 1. Stretching and warm-ups 2. Shadow boxing 3. Extensive pad work (plenty of rounds) I definitely got a great workout and a high volume of pad work. You rotate between the few coaches there and each have something to say for technical corrections on your form and technique. Your mileage may vary. For my one and only session, it is just working on the basic strikes, jabs and kicks, with slight variations. From reading other comments, this gym appears to partner with platforms like Klook for "Muay Thai experiences." I have this booking via Pelago as mentioned. During my time there, several groups of tourists arrived for regular classes to try the sport. I don’t find their training to be catering to tourists and i saw that there are locals who train at the gym too but it's good to know if you're looking for a specific type of training environment. Overall, it was a good session and experience. Equipment was well-maintained. Professional coaches that keep you engaged, keep children entertained while imparting their craft. I would likely return to try their regular group classes the next time I am in Bangkok.
