Accommodation at boxing camp

Sitjemam Muay Thai offers comfortable rooms located just steps away from the Muay Thai ring. The rooms are 22 sqm ones, newly built and finely decorated with king-size bed, en suite bathroom with hot shower, free Wi-Fi, and free use of the BBQ/kitchen.

This is a clean, secure, and comfortable solution with the bonus of meeting new people who are here for the same reasons - plus its also a lot more difficult to skip a session when you can hear everybody training!

Rooms are offered at a special all-year-round price for our students - perhaps the best value-for-money accommodation here in Pai that can also be shared among up to three persons per room upon request.

Muay Thai

Muay Thai is a combat sport that uses stand-up striking, along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on shins is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient. Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the twentieth century, when practitioners defeated notable practitioners of other martial arts.

Muay Thai can be traced back to the 16th century, developed from the fighting style of the famous fighter Nai Khanomtom. Its ancestor is Muay Boran (or ancient boxing), which in the 1930s was formalized with rules and equipment influenced by Western boxing.

Sitjemam Muay Thai

Sitjemam Muay Thai Pai represents Muay Farang project for Northern Thailand, offering the highest standards of training, managing and promotion in the country.

Muay Farang has in these last few years become synonymous with a new concept of training Muay Thai fighters, aiming to raise the excellence of foreign athletes in this sport.

Being part of the Muay Farang family has enabled Sitjemam Muay Thai to promote their fighters in some of the top events and promotions in Thailand and abroad (Toyota Marathon, Kunlun Fight, and WMF World Championships, among others), achieving results unseen at any of the other camps operating in this region of Thailand.

Muay Farang-promoted boxers are often guests of Sitjeman Muay Thai; and this provides an even better opportunity to learn from some of the most exciting active Nak Muay (Boxers).

Course preparation

Training camp is designed to accommodate the needs and levels of all students, either if you are a beginner seeking to understand more about Muay Thai, or professionals striving to improve significantly your techniques, or even if you are simply trying to get fit. As a result, a research into the martial art, as well as some build-up physical training before setting out for Sitjiemam Muay Thai Pai is a good preparation. Note that every day training will start with warm up run.
