Muay Thai Sangha

Sangha Muay Thai is in Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai, Thailand—approximately a 45-minute journey from Chiang Mai by bus, costing around 25 baht. The school is nestled in a quiet, peaceful rice field area, offering a serene environment for focused training. See Bookings and logistics for more information on getting to the school.

Yes. Sangha Muay Thai has its main school in Thailand, with international branches in Spain, Greece, Canada, Switzerland, the United States, and Mexico.

We speak Thai, English, and Spanish. However, Muay Thai is a highly visual activity, so even if you don't speak any of these languages, you are more than welcome to come and train.

Absolutely. Many of our students are beginners with no prior Muay Thai experience. You don't need any previous martial arts background—just bring a positive attitude and an open mind.

No. Your fitness and endurance will naturally improve as you train. Every student progresses at their own pace.

It is advisable to let us know which dates you wish to train so we can confirm availability. You can contact us via email to discuss your training arrangements, learn whether this is the right school for you or for further advice and clarifications.

You can start at any time. Each class runs for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. The minimum training period is one week, though most students stay between one and two months.

Our Chiang Mai Muay Thai gym is located 38 kilometers north of Chiang Mai city, in the Mae Taeng district. Here's how to find us and the best ways to get here.

Driving Directions:

Take Highway 107 north from Chiang Mai towards Chiang Dao. Continue on this road until you reach the city of Mae Taeng. Look for the famous Talaat Mae Malai local market, which is on the left-hand side of the road when traveling north.

From the market, continue north for 1.5 kilometers. The gym is on the right-hand side, just in front of the TOA construction shop. Directly across the road from the TOA shop, you'll see a side road with an aluminum shop on the corner. Enter that road and follow it for about 100 meters until you see our gym signs—they will guide you the rest of the way.

Additionally if you are traveling to the school make sure you let us know when you leave Chiangmai so everything can be prepared.

You will see measurable improvements in endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and overall understanding of striking and grappling methods. Many of our students return annually or regularly to continue their training.
