We love CharnChai Muay Thai. Bee first welcomed us 4 years ago, when I hadn't fought yet and Eddie only had a handful of fights. He helped us alot even back then before he knew us. We absolutely love CharnChai gym, I've never laughed so hard while also being pushed so hard. It really has the best of both worlds! I just can't say enough good things really!! Bee has such a kind heart, always going out of his way to help people, there's many stories I could share about his kindness. What goes around comes around and bee has alot of good karma!
I have learned at CharnChai Muay Thai gym about 2 years for now and I have had 5 fights with them. Their teaching methods are effective as they really emphasize the fundamentals of pure Muay Thai techniques. They really take time to teach their students and make sure that the basic foundations of Muay Thai technique would be flawless before moving on to next levels. I have made significant development in my Muay Thai technique since I started working with Mr. Bee and the team. They surely know how to push their students to the next level in a smart way. I really recommend studying from Mr. Bee and CharnChai Muay Thai no matter how skillful you are.
I loved to train in Charnchai, the coaches always very interested in your growth as an athlete, they taught me a lot about Muay Thai and about the Thai culture, Iโm very grateful for my time spent training there under the guidance of Mr Bee, and for all the other amazing people there.

What our Students Say
I canโt say enough good things about this place. I showed up to Charn Chai weighing 300 lbs and unsure if it was going to be a good place for me. It has been amazing! I dropped over 80 lbs, gained flexibility, and left feeling like the people from the gym are my family. The trainers truly care about your progress. They will help you achieve your goals from professionals fighting in Bangkok stadiums to 43 year old 300 lb beginners. There are students of all experience levels to learn from that will help you out. Everyone is there to get better and willing to help. If you are looking to fight, improve your fitness, or just have a blast learning Muay Thai, I wholeheartedly recommend this gym. Jump into the sessions, have fun, and watch the noticeable progress you make in a short time.
Donโt think it ! Book it !One of my best experience was at charnchai .. As a beginner and as a girl I felt so much supported by the coaches.Always pushing the best of me out !Considering your level they try to do them best for your comfort.So if you are a girlโฆand you are scaredโฆ donโt be, go for it 😊 probably would be the proudest things youโll do in your life !There are also beautiful stories around this guys who touched me a lot..They are so friendly !Thanks Charnchai, I will be back !
I arrived at Charn Chai as an absolute beginner, zero experience in any martial art, not particularly athletic and very anxious as to how well I will be able to keep up.The trainers could not have been more accommodating. The classes are a large mix of both absolute beginners and people that fight on TV, but you never feel intimidated everyone is so friendly. The trainers just want to help you get better and will push you as hard as you want to be pushed, whether you want to train to fight or just want to train for fitness.I started my month anxious as to how it would go, and I finished my month wanting to stay for another. Highly highly recommend this camp to any person beginner or otherwise. Couldn't be a more friendly place to train and the trainers are the best!Thanks Charn Chai! I will be back!
Charn Chai is a magical place that I have continuously come back to over the past 8 years. It is my family in Thailand, and a place I truly feel alive, feel loved, and laugh while getting an intense workout and training in. I did not come from a martial arts or combat sport background, and have really embraced the sport and learnings (both physical and mental). The trainers are INCREDIBLE - they support you in your development and growth, provide a lot of attention and care, and are playful at the same time.Mr. Bee with his GM, Steven, have built a world class training camp in the beautiful mountain setting of Pai. Its a once in a lifetime experience.
Best gym in Thailand, all the trainers are so friendly and the whole gym is like one big family. Itโs very nice to see all levels frombeginner to high level professionals. I spent a total of 8 months here and wish I could have stayed longer! They have semi regular BBQโs on saturday nights too. I had a total of 4 fights here including my first fight. All the coaches couldn't have been more supportive!

Pai is a small town 140km north of Chiang Mai and very easy to reach thanks to the minivan services running every hour from Chiang Mai bus station and Pai airport operating flights to and from Chiang Mai (25 minute trip). The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, jungle and rice paddies and is unlike anywhere else in Thailand. There is a friendly, laid back vibe in town and everyone feels welcome!
