Tuk and I (Diana) opened Rawai Muay Thai in 2003. Back then there were few muay thai gyms around, and hardly any that tought foreigners so we had to start from scratch. The gym was located in Rawai village, in the South of Phuket, thus the name of the camp. First there was only one ring and four bags. With time more boxing rings were built and more trainers hired. But at first there was only one student (Adam from the UK) and two trainers. Muay Thai gyms in the country. With students from all over the world coming to train with us. We also trained aspiring young Thai boxers who wanted to become champions. Our fighters have boxed in Bangkok’s prestigious stadiums like Lumpini and Rajadamnern, in big promotions like Thai Fight and on TV. Our boxers have also competed abroad. Our boxers have won numerous stadium titles as well as the World Muay Thai Council (WMC) and the World Professional Muay Thai Federation (WPMF) titles. Our goal with every fighter to make them the best that they can be. We stress fitness and good technique. Our teaching method is the traditional way that Muay Thai has been taught for decades, the was Tuk and his brothers learned growing up.Beautiful beach in Khao LakAfter 10 exciting years in Phuket we decided to move to the quieter town of Khao Lak. In our opinion Phuket has grown too much and is no longer the best location for training purposes. There are too many distractions there (night clubs, bars, malls, traffic). Khao Lak is a tranquil seaside village,  not developed much, perfect for enjoying the sea and nature. And most of all, perfect for focusing on you training.
