Is Emerald Muay Thai or Over The Top cheaper?

Over The Top, on the line most trips are booked on. A single group session is 250 baht there against 400 baht at Emerald Muay Thai, a gap of 150 baht. They both quote one other priced line, and Emerald Muay Thai is lower on one. A cheaper month is not a cheaper trip. Food, a room where the camp has none and the flight home all sit outside these figures, and a camp that is 2,000 baht dearer a month is the cheaper of the two the moment it saves you a daily taxi.

What is the difference between Emerald Muay Thai and Over The Top?

2 of the 3 lines both camps publish come out different: a single group session and a private session. They match on whether beginners are taken. Emerald Muay Thai publishes a week of unlimited training, a month of unlimited training, how many sessions a day run, whether there are rooms on site and whether the trainers speak English. Over The Top publishes none of those. What separates two camps on the mats is the trainer you get put with, and no camp publishes that. Use the lines above to cut the list down, then ask both.

Is Emerald Muay Thai or Over The Top better for a beginner?

Both. Emerald Muay Thai and Over The Top each read as a room somebody who has never trained can walk into. That is a call made at a desk from what each camp publishes about who it trains, not a verdict from the mats. A gym built around a fight team will take a beginner's money and leave them holding pads at the back for a month, so ask both how a first session actually runs before you book either.

Can you stay at Emerald Muay Thai or Over The Top?

Emerald Muay Thai says it has no rooms. Over The Top publishes nothing either way, so that line stays blank rather than get a guess. Staying in means the commute stops being a decision you make twice a day at five in the morning, which matters more than the saving on most trips shorter than a month.

How far apart are Emerald Muay Thai and Over The Top?

About 700 m in a straight line, measured between the two pins rather than along a road, so a motorbike covers more ground than that and traffic decides the rest. Both camps sit in Krabi. That is close enough to walk, so a trial session at each one inside a single week costs you nothing but the drop-in rate.

Emerald Muay Thai

Private is published as a range, 800 to 1,000 an hour. A day is 600, three months 8,000 a month, a year 6,000 a month. Rooms are arranged off site: a resort room is 5,000 a week and 14,000 a month in low season, a fighter bungalow from 4,000 a week, both rising between October and April. Bookings are non-refundable.

Over The Top

Muay Thai is 250 a session. The week and month passes are printed as one class a day for seven and for thirty days, 1,500 and 6,500, so neither is unlimited and neither belongs in the lines above. MMA and grappling are priced separately and higher: 400 a session, 2,500 a week, 8,000 a month, and 1,500 for a private against 1,000 for Muay Thai. Doors are open 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday.

Against the country

Each line runs from the cheapest figure listed camps print for that rate to the dearest, with Emerald Muay Thai marked above the line, Over The Top below it and the stretch between them inked. In baht, Emerald Muay Thai first, then Over The Top: one group session at 400 and 250, 150 apart inside a run of 550 that 31 of 44 listed camps print; one private at 800 and 1,000, 200 apart inside a run of 900 that 22 of 44 listed camps print. Rates only one of the two publishes are left out, because a line carrying one mark says nothing about two camps.

They quote the same figure on one line: takes beginners.

In their own words

What each camp is

Emerald Muay Thai

One of the few established camps in Krabi, which is the appeal: mainland scenery and climbing on the doorstep without the density of the Phuket scene. Smaller trainee pool means fewer partners at your exact level. The same operator runs a second camp at Rawai Beach in Phuket, so confirm which of the two you are booking. English on the pads is in writing but rests on one named head trainer rather than the whole floor.

The full record for Emerald Muay Thai

Over The Top

The cheapest published drop-in of any camp on this site, and the only one in Krabi that prints a rate for grappling as well as Muay Thai. Read the passes before comparing them with anywhere else: the week and month are one class a day rather than unlimited, so they are a different product at a different price. MMA and no-gi BJJ are listed as waitlisted rather than running, which makes Muay Thai the thing you can count on turning up to.
