Class or Camp?
A class is one or two hours for visitors. A camp is weeks of residential twice-daily training. Different products, different audiences — and only one of them books here.
Search results blur these together constantly. They are not the same product and they are not for the same person.
A Class
One to two hours. No commitment. Built for visitors.
A trainer, pads, the basic strikes, and a session paced to whoever turned up. $20 to $44 in Bangkok. You book it like any other activity, do it on a free morning, and get on with your holiday.
This is what this site covers, because it is what the overwhelming majority of visitors actually want.
A Camp
Weeks. Residential. Usually two sessions a day.
Aimed at people pursuing the sport seriously, people using it as a structured fitness reset, and a growing number staying in Thailand long-term. Costs run into a different category entirely once accommodation is included, and the good ones expect you to train hard and be sore constantly.
Crucially, camps book direct with the gym, not through activity platforms. If a camp is what you want, you should be emailing gyms rather than reading a page like this one — and we would rather say that than sell you a one-hour class dressed up as training.

A Note on Gym Brands
Some of the largest Thai gyms are strong consumer brands and rank heavily for training searches. They are aimed at the long-stay fitness audience rather than the visitor with a free morning, and their intake is a different business from a one-session class.
If you are in Bangkok for a few days, you want a class. If you are moving to Thailand for three months, you want to research gyms properly — which is a different job from this page.
One Class, One Morning
From $20 for a group beginner class, or $44 for one-to-one with pickup and shorts to keep — 517 students rated it 4.9.
