Camp against camp
Eminent Air Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym
Two camps in Bangkok, set against each other on what each one publishes about itself. Nothing below is our opinion of either.
Eminent Air Muay Thai
Kiatphontip Gym
The short version
A single group session is 500 THB at Eminent Air Muay Thai and 400 THB at Kiatphontip Gym. They line up on 4 of the lines both camps publish.

Eminent Air Muay Thai
A day covering both sessions is 800 and ten sessions 4,500, the ten valid for three months from the day they are booked; ten privates are 9,000. The gym is open Monday to Friday, 06:30 to 19:00, and the two sessions inside that are both labelled fighters' training. The 07:30 one is a 10 km run, shadow boxing, four or five rounds on the bags, four or five on the pads, sparring and clinching, then weights and conditioning. The 15:30 one is a 5 km run, fifteen minutes of rope, half an hour of clinch work and sparring, bags, pads and conditioning. Every figure here sits on a page whose footer still reads 2022 and whose own counter says twenty-five years from a 1997 founding, so these are the prices the gym last published rather than prices it quoted this week.
Kiatphontip Gym
Two sessions a day Monday to Saturday, 07:00 to 09:00 and 15:30 to 18:00, with Sunday off. Mornings run, shadow box, work the bags and pads and finish on conditioning, with boxing and sparring on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Afternoons add up to an hour of clinch. The private line stays blank because the camp publishes no private rate. The nightly room line stays blank because a room is only sold inside a Train and Stay package with training and two meals a day: a week is 8,900, two weeks 16,500, three weeks 24,000, a month 31,000 and three months 87,000 in a standard room, and 10,000, 18,000, 26,000, 32,000 and 90,000 in a deluxe room. Training without a room runs 400 a session, 700 for two sessions in one day, 4,000 a week, 7,000 for two weeks, 12,000 a month and 23,000 for two months.
Against the country
They quote the same figure on one line: sessions a day.

What we cannot tell you yet
Neither camp has been confirmed on the lines below, so this page does not compare them. They are named rather than left off, because a comparison that only shows the fields it happens to hold is the shape of a page pretending to be complete.

- Sparring
- English spoken
- Women's programme
In their own words
What each camp is
Eminent Air Muay Thai
A fighters' stable at the end of a residential lane off Sukhumvit 101, founded in 1997 by a Lumpini promoter and named after the air conditioner brand that has sponsored it ever since. One ring under a pitched roof with the sides open, walls carrying three decades of fight photographs, and a roster of stadium champions the gym names itself. The record has a gap worth reading twice: the only timetable published is labelled fighters' training, twice a day with sparring and clinching in both sessions, and a single session is sold to anybody who turns up for 500 baht. Nothing on the page says which of those two things a visitor gets. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
The full record for Eminent Air Muay ThaiKiatphontip Gym
A family camp on the quiet western edge of Bangkok, running since 2008, where visitors train in the same two sessions as the resident Thai fight team and a room is sold inside the stay rather than by the night. Suits someone who wants a small camp and a fixed daily rhythm more than someone who wants to be in the middle of the city.

What people ask about Eminent Air Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym
- Is Eminent Air Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym cheaper?
- Kiatphontip Gym, on the line most trips are booked on. A month of unlimited training is 12,000 baht there against 18,000 baht at Eminent Air Muay Thai, a gap of 6,000 baht. They both quote 2 other priced lines, and Kiatphontip Gym is lower on 2. 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 Eminent Air Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym?
- 3 of the 4 lines both camps publish come out different: a single group session, a week of unlimited training and a month of unlimited training. They match on how many sessions a day run. Eminent Air Muay Thai publishes a private session, and Kiatphontip Gym publishes whether there are rooms on site and whether beginners are taken. 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 Eminent Air Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym better for a beginner?
- Only one of them is placed either way. Kiatphontip Gym reads as a fit for a beginner and Eminent Air Muay Thai publishes nothing we could read it from, so its line stays blank rather than get a guess. 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 Eminent Air Muay Thai or Kiatphontip Gym?
- Kiatphontip Gym says you can sleep at the camp. Eminent Air Muay Thai publishes nothing either way, so that line stays blank. Neither nightly rate is published, so the room line stays blank rather than get estimated off camps elsewhere that do print one. 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 many sessions a day do Eminent Air Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym run?
- The same number. Eminent Air Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym both run 2 sessions a day. That is how many are on offer and not how many anybody should plan on taking. A timetable says when the door is open; how many times you walk through it is most of the difference between a training holiday and a camp, and a first week of doubles is how people spend a second week injured.
- How far apart are Eminent Air Muay Thai and Kiatphontip Gym?
- About 33 km 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 Bangkok. That is a ride rather than a walk, so trying both in one trip means picking a base and paying to cross, or splitting the stay in two.
