Train Muay Thai in Thailand

No — beginners are welcome. As long as you have a basic level of fitness and are open to learning, you’ll fit right in. Sessions are adapted to suit different experience levels.

Yes — most people join solo and quickly become part of the group.

Training, accommodation, and all core retreat experiences are included. You’ll receive full details before confirming your place, so you know exactly what to expect.

No, flights are not included. You’ll need to arrange your own travel to Thailand, but we’ll provide clear guidance on arrival times, departure times and anything you need to know before booking.

Yes — we can offer guidance on flights, and airport transfers can be arranged in advance if needed.

Training gear, suitable clothing, and anything you’d normally use for sessions. We’ll send a full checklist after you apply.

We cap each retreat at 10 people. Small enough to feel personal, big enough to feel like a proper group.

You don’t need to be in elite shape, but you do need a basic level of fitness — twice-daily training is real training, not a token gesture. If you can comfortably do an hour-long Muay Thai or boxing class at home, you’ll be fine. Sessions are adapted to the group, you can pace yourself, and rest is built into the schedule.

No — sparring is never compulsory. The training schedule is built around pad work, technique drills, conditioning, and bag work, all of which you can do without sparring. If you'd like to spar at some point during the week, the coaches will pair you with someone of a similar level and intensity. The choice is always yours.

You'll stay in comfortable accommodation arranged for the full week. Depending on the retreat, this is either on-site at MJ Fivepoints or at a partner property within walking distance of the gym. You'll know exactly where you're staying, and what to expect, well before you travel.

Breakfast each morning and a welcome dinner on day one are included. For other meals, there's a wide range of food close by — Thai cafes, Western options, and plenty of healthy choices. Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options are easy to find. Flag any dietary requirements on the booking form and we'll brief the gym ahead of your arrival.

Yes — fight night tickets are available as an add on for your retreat. Watching live Muay Thai in Thailand is one of the highlights of the week, and a great way to see what you've been training applied at the highest level.

Travel and sports insurance is mandatory for everyone joining a Fight Escapes retreat — we'll point you to providers we recommend. The gym has first aid on-site, the coaches are experienced at handling the usual training knocks, and there's a hospital roughly 15 minutes away if anything more serious happens. Most retreats finish without anything more dramatic than a sore shin.

A non-refundable deposit secures your place at booking. The balance is due closer to the retreat date and is fully refundable up to 60 days before the retreat starts. After that point, the balance becomes non-refundable. If you need to cancel for serious reasons, get in touch and we'll do what we can — and this is exactly why we recommend travel insurance.

Yes — many people do. The retreat itself is a fixed week, but you're welcome to arrive earlier or stay on after. If you'd like to keep training at MJ Fivepoints once the retreat ends, we can introduce you to the gym for drop-in rates. Mention it when you book and we'll help you plan the wider trip.
