If you can extend your time a little and do a full week then the price is 3,000 baht for training and meals (2 group sessions and 2 meals a day for 6 days). Have a safe trip, we look forward to hearing from you/meeting you soon. Cheers

Hello, Thank you for your message about training at Charnchai Muay Thai. My team and I have many years of experience as trainers and fighters and would like for you to join us for training while you are visiting Pai in Jan 2017. It's not essential to register for group training in advance as we have a large team of trainers. Just come to the gym 10 minutes before the start of the session (7:50am for the morning session or 2:50pm for the afternoon session) to meet the team and start warming up. We train twice a day (8am-10am and 3pm-5pm) from Monday to Saturday, each session is 2 hours. We welcome students with all levels of fitness and experience from beginners to advanced fighters. It's certainly not a problem if you aren't in peak fitness when you join us, we encouraged everyone to give it a go. Beginners are taught technique separately from the intermediate students so the level of training is tailored according to students' level of experience, there's lots of attention to detail and every student gets plenty of 1:1 time with the trainers throughout the sessions. The group training programme covers all aspects of muay thai and the team focuses on teaching technique thoroughly as well as improving cardio fitness and strength and conditioning. The daily training schedule covers all of the following: basic to advanced technique instruction, shadow boxing, pad rounds with trainers (3 to 5x 3 minute rounds), bag work, circuit training, clinching (afternoons) and sparring (every Wednesday and Saturday) and we finish each session with 50 kicks on the bag (left and right leg), 100 knees and a group abdominal/core strength workout. The team will track your progress and introduce more advanced techniques as you develop to ensure you get the most out of your time with us. The price for group training is 300 baht for a half day (single session) or 500 baht for a full day (training am and pm sessions on the same day). Payment for training is made at the end of the session in cash (Thai baht). We provide all the equipment you need for training including hand wraps, gloves and shin pads. We also have mouth guards, ankle supports, hand wraps, boxing gloves and Charnchai shorts and t-shirts available to buy at the camp. You will need to bring running shoes, comfortable clothes for training and a towel. The gym is just a 10 minute walk from the centre of town, approximately 300 metres past Pai hospital on the left hand side if the road. We hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions. We look forward to hearing from you/meeting you soon. Best wishes, Bee

Pai is a small town and is less scary as big cities as Bangkok. There will probably be more people who're doing a course or a few weeks training, so she'll probably end up being with a little group every day! I loved training there and the people organised barbeques etc. Easy to meet people!

You can travel from BKK to Chiang Mai by bus or catch the night train from Hualamphong station or fly from Don Muang/Suvarnabhumi airport to Chiang Mai airport. Once you are in Chiang Mai you will need to take a minibus from the main bus station (Arcade bus station) to Pai. MInibus services run every hour from 7:30am to 5:30pm throughout the week and tickets cost 150 baht.
