Patong Boxing Gym has everything you need and more! Within our brand new facility, we have full size rings, plenty of carpeted floor space and punching bags, a free weight conditioning area, pro shop stocked with authentic Twins Special & Top King boxing gear and 26 beautiful Secret Cliff Resort Villa’s available if you choose to stay at the camp.
You know what they say.. “a picture is worth a thousand words” ..
What often begins as a once in a lifetime opportunity, soon becomes an annual pilgrimage.
“The superior personal training, spot on technique and stance correction, sparring, clinching , overall care & consideration shown by everyone @ PBG is unique. No where else do they offer “personal training” and “private accommodation” as a standard.
My two week vacation in Thailand turned into a 3 year Muay Thai odyssey with the crew @ PBG. This is not a commercial, “turn you upside down and empty your pockets out” Muay Thai Camp ……..this is a seriously talented Muay Thai family. They will (unlike others) share their secrets, skills and talent with you. It’s a far cry from “going through the motions” in group lessons (which is the standard elsewhere). It’s as good as, and in most cases – better than – most of the camps in thailand (and that includes the stinky Bangkok fighter camps).
The trainers @ PBG are Lumpinee and Raja champions and they’ve trained students to become Thailand Champions in their own right. That speaks volumes to me. ”Lucky”, for instance, trained the winner of the prestigious Kings Cup here in Thailand. They are fully accredited and certified and have received numerous awards from the sanctioning bodies (WPMF and the WMC etc).
The assumption that you have to go to a gym in Bangkok to get good training is a joke. Sure, if you are seeking a career fighting, you eventually want to fight in Bangkok, but first you need some fights under your belt;) PBG can take you there. It’s definitely not stinky – PBG is gorgeous, unpretentious, and more importantly …they are helpful……… plus they speak English/Japanese and Chinese!
Come to Thailand, learn to fight traditional Muay Thai , from the Thai, like a Thai (and not a tourist). PBG is simply a cut above all the rest:) “

“I have just returned to England after 2 weeks of training at PBG. I would firstly like to say a huge thank you to Ming who trained and taught me during my visit. The amount of technical knowledge I gained from the training was truly incredible. Focusing on technical clinch work Ming taught me sweeps and throws, striking inside the clinch, different control positions along with advanced strategy on power and timing, and all with his very limited amount of English which made the learning all the more interesting! The atmosphere whilst training in the gym was very positive with all the trainers giving you a welcoming smile whilst the other students were always ready to offer a few helpful tips. I couldn’t have asked for a more fulfilling experience and my expectations were blown sky high. I would highly recommend any beginner, intermediate or advanced student to PBG and will be looking forward to arranging a returning visit in the near future!”

“I visited the Patong Boxing Gym earlier this week, as I spent a week’s holiday in Phuket… from Melbourne. I went past the boxing gym 3 or 4 times in the tuk tuk (taxi) earlier in the week. I was determined to go back…so went for a run one morning from Karon beach to the gym to watch the morning training sessions - it was absoutely awesome. Certainly one of the best days of my holiday…and the run there was awesome too. Great hills for the calfs !!! If you go to Phuket – you have to check this out. If you want a great work out during your time in Phuket…this is the place to go.”
