hi guys I've been looking at muay thai courses on the net and most are advertised in phuket and pattaya... these range from about 7000 a month to about 7000 a week (way too much)

I could not find any advertised in bangkok, and its in bangkok I want to stay and live for a few months....

does anyone know where there is a bangkok muay thai club that is suitable for westerners?

This is what you seek Grasshopper.

Jitty Gym in Ratchada

Bangkok Fight Club on Asoke

Vithawat Muay Thai in Sathorn

I trained alot here

the live in camp is pretty good is and good for beginners., its alot of fun and they will take the time to teach you the basics.

The other ring is in Khaosan rd, pretty touristy orientated but its good fun.

thanks for the info guys, that fightingspirit gym looks by far the best value..... but the page wont load now...?!

Hello to all,

I came to bkk 1 month ago and the first thing that took me was muay thai training. I'm so into it right now. its fantastic sport and here are the best teachers.

I can recomend you Virapor Gym near Lumpihi stadium. it's very cheap and the trainers know english. But unfortunately I started work and now I book trainer that come to my condo after work. Well I pay a little bit more but it save me a lot of time and the teacher comes with all the equipment.

Sorry but I can't give you right now the contacts for Virapor Gym, about the personal trainer who comes to my condo I book him from http://www.muaythaifits.com

Try Sasiprapa gym, it's an excellent fighters' gym and the trainers can speak English.

You can also try Fairtex, which is a bit out of the way but has excellent facilities and the trainers speak English. You'll probably see Yodsaenklai there.
