    Awesome Muay Thai Gym!
    That’s a great place to train Muay Thai properly! Trainers are very professional and train you very intense! Also have great sense of humor, and music there are creating very comfortable atmosphere for self improvement. It’s the biggest gym in this tambon, even have 2 rings, which was uncommon for me!) Well quality equipment also provided. Also very good at hygiene, everything is cleaned as it should be. The area also comfortable and friendly! There is a whole pool and restaurant with wide menu for different goals like recovery or muscle grow! Very tasty! Accommodation also feels right, everything you need is in a room. And a district itself has places to visit, beautiful shrine and a mall close. So highly recommend to stay here and training hardly! This place grows strong fighters!
    Thank you for the kind review!

    Friendly and inclusive
    Was amazing! Was only 500 BHT for a whole 2 hour session. Training was great and everyone got one-on-one attention. Even though it was challenging and pushed everyone hard, they were very gentle, helpful and understanding.
    Glad you stopped by! Thanks for the review

    Muay thai, yoga and nutrition at its finest
    I've been here a week so far with another month to go. I am very happy with my choice to come here and train. Muay Thai training has been demanding, the coaches are friendly and are gradually improving my fitness, form and technique. I'm attending both the morning and afternoon classes, the coaches are attentive and really want me to develop. Yoga is a great addition to help with recovery and flexibility as well as improving my core strength. The nutrition is phenomenal, tasty, nutritious and allows me to recover adequately and truth be told this is the healthiest I've eaten. The on site massues is a magician and keeps me able to keep training.
    Cheers Mr Fillepe!

    Couldn't recommend more!
    Sumalee is incredible place to learn or improve your Muay Thai! The coaches are excellent, the staff are really friendly, and the facilities are the perfect mix of modern and traditional. I've trained in a lot of Muay Thai places and this is by far the best, the trainers will spend time getting to know your style and tailor their training to fit you, which adds to the friendly atmosphere as well. 5 stars, highly recommend.
    Cheers Sulaiman!

    Sumalee Muay Thai gym is a very professional organisation. Fantastic staff who can accommodate your expertise, whether you are advanced or just a beginner. The gym is well maintained & very clean. They have a large range of equipment to cater for all requirements. Have on site accommodation which is kept to a high degree of cleanliness. No problem in recommending Sumalee gym, so if you want to challenge yourself, this would be the place to come to.

    Best Muay Thai in Phuket! Excellent training, great facilities and attentive knowledgeable trainers
    Sumalee Muay Thai is without a doubt one of the best gyms in Phuket. Their trainers are all extremely knowledgeable, they push you too your limit while also being mindful of injury and not overworking you. Unlike other gyms I trained at you get a lot of individual attention from the trainers and have a very authentic Thai Muay Thai experience. I trained here for 1 month and took an amateur fight at the end which I won thanks to the excellent training I received from Sumalee and particularly Keng who was my 1-to-1 teacher. I also suffered a few injuries during my training but in site strength and conditioning coach Sean was really helpful giving me a thorough assessment and series of exercises which resolved all my issues. It’s a great peace of mind knowing someone like that is on site to keep you in optimal physical condition outside of the Muay Thai training. The gym also offered yoga and massage which was great to undo all the tightness from the long sessions. It’s also a very friendly vibe between trainers and other guests without sacrificing the high level and serious training you will get. Cant recommend enough and will certainly be coming back!
    Cheers Jamal!

    A lifetime experience
    My recent experience with a Muay Thai lesson was extraordinarily positive! The training was incredibly intense, pushing me beyond my physical and mental boundaries in ways I had never imagined. Despite the challenge, the instructor's ability to manage my energy was exceptional. He perfectly balanced rigor with encouragement, making each round more motivating than the last. His expertise and passion for Muay Thai transformed an exhausting session into an incredibly informative and surprisingly fun experience. I left the lesson feeling energized, inspired, and eager to return. An unforgettable experience and highly recommended to anyone looking to challenge themselves and learn the art of Muay Thai!
    Thank you, Raffaele!

I couldn't have asked for a better sports vacation! I started looking into training in Phuket soon after the sandbox program had started last year. Rules and regulations were constantly changing, and online resources were struggling to keep up. Gym owner Lynne was very generous, available, and responsive in guiding me through the COE application process via email and phone, and, more importantly, a large part of this was even before I was committed to training at Sumalee!

Throughout my 2 week stay, Lynne and her staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed, especially at a time when everyone on the island was struggling as a result of the pandemic and lack of tourists. Lynne and staff created a gym culture that was inclusive of those of all ages, genders, ethnicity, and Muay Thai experience levels, and the gym welcomed both locals and foreigners alike. Perhaps what set Sumalee apart from the other gyms I was looking at at the time were its yoga program, vegan cafe/meal plan, and onsite masseuse, which all complemented my rigorous Muay Thai training every well.

Overall, I had a fruitful couple of weeks at Sumalee - I felt like I progressed as much in 2 weeks as I did outside Thailand, had a blast getting to know Lynne and staff, and made friends from all over the world. I can't wait to go back and would encourage those who're considering training at Sumalee to make the trip!

Came to sumalee for a 10 day training camp alongside my 14 year old son as his birthday present. We had the most amazing experience and have made memories that I know he and I will remember forever. In a day and age where technology is taking over our life’s it was amazing to spend quality time getting fit together as a family. The staff are absolutely incredible. Big shout out to Sun who was so welcoming, the chef who made delicious nutritious meals (best food I have ever eaten abroad, so fresh looked and smelt amazing and healthy!) and every single one of the trainers who were fun, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Sam to you also for delivering a wonderful ice cream cake and arranging a get together for our son for his birthday, it was so so kind of you. I loved the atmosphere of the camp, no big egos, everyone had different abilities, everyone chats and exchanges stories, all different nationalities staying but everyone has that 1 thing in common, you all want to get fit! The area is really cool tucked away in a little Thai village that’ is really authentic but only 10 minute walk from a large shopping mall where you can get anything you want from medicine, food or clothes. Short and cheap taxi ride to bang tao beach or Surin beach if you wanted to go out for dinner/drinks or a beach day. We also tried the yoga which was relaxing and perfect after a morning session. Pool and pool area nice, rooms comfortable. Kitchen/restaurant area relaxed with pool table. We can’t wait to come back!

It pains me to write this review, because I'm basically giving away one of the best kept secrets in Phuket!

This is my second time here (Nov/Dec 2022), the first was in Nov 2017. I'd been craving to come back again because I realised that twelve days wasn't sufficient so second time around I stayed for four weeks. Booked the Gold Package. (make sure you utilise those massages, because you'll regret it the next day if you don't). The menu offerings and portions are more than enough for someone training regularly.

One of the many things I love about this place, is that it's away from all the hustle and bustle of busy Phuket. It's a little oasis of zen with the different areas (pool, yoga, restaurant, Muay Thai training) where you can spend time.

Whether your focus is yoga or Muay Thai, you'll get the right amount of exercise for your body and relaxation for your soul. If Elizabeth Gilbert were to write a second book, it would be called, "Eat, Pray, Kick Butt".

Finally, the team is amazing! Attentive, kind, authentic, and helpful. Just be careful if you play UNO with Sun, he's got major strategy!!

I'm booking for Nov/Dec 2023 before the rooms are taken!

Muay Thai, Yoga, Strength training, massages, nutrition, its all under one roof. An awesome experience, right from the training, the coaches team, the accommodation, and the hospitality.
If you prefer being away from the usual beach
or party crowd, the location is perfect. It is located in a quieter part of Phuket, but still only 20 - 25 minutes from the beaches, Old Town and other attractions. The management also helps with reservations if you are looking to explore the attractions both in and oround Phuket, something that was very useful. They also have scooters to rent on premises.
The premises were great and well maintained, staff were very courteous and friendly. The rooms are cleaned everyday. The service is almost embarrassingly great.
The training is both group and individual; the coaches, head coach Keng, Sam, Bas, Runne, Luay, are all former or active fighters with great teaching skills.
My 2 weeks went by fast, and I look forward to going back.
Highly, highly recommend Sumalee Boxing Gym.

I was skeptical in the beginning to go into a Mauy Thai camp on my own. My doubts were unnecessary!
There were a great sportsperson spirit. Progress of individuals was recognized, and we motivated each other, but The personal limits were resprected.

Muay Thai Training
The trainers are amazing, kind and skilled. They push you to your personal boarder, but it is your own choice to cross it or stay in your comfortable zone. It is a mix of cardio, muscle, and technical training. I learned so much during 2 weeks.

Yoga
The yoga lessons were great as well. I loved especially the flow yoga sessions. I managed poses I did not manage before. The trainer offers interesting flows, but has a good eye for the participants and offers alternatives if the exercises are too difficult for individuals.

Massage
The massage lady is so skilled and of a sweet character. The massages and yoga made sure that I did not have any muscle cramps during my time here. My neck and back was never as relaxed as after her massages.

Food
The nutri station has delicious breakfast and nutritious food. Also here, the staff is really nice.

Truly an idyllic stay at Sumalee. Everything was amazing. The coaches are professional, knowledgeable and push you to your limits. The staff are amazing. The food is healthy and tasty, so well balanced and thoughtfully planned. Massages right outside your doorstep are divine and delivered by the kindest massage professional who understands fighting aches and pains. Not for the faint of heart, imo but not the type of place that should attract people who aren’t dedicated to learning and giving 100. You will work hard but the coaches make sure you will enjoy some laughs whilst getting in your training and advancing your Muay Thai ability. I came so far in terms of conditioning and skill in 2.5 weeks. The accommodations are comfortable and the cleaning crew were amazing. I went for the Platinum package which I totally recommend. My laundry was done daily and the massages included are a huge bonus. The yoga is amazing as well. You will be busy and fulfilled and leave as I am feeling accomplished and proud of your gains. As a woman traveling alone with a 7 year old, I’d like to add that there were no creepy vibes, only professional courtesy advanced by helpful hands. The manager even helped me find a nanny (Niang, the gf of one of the trainers) who was phenomenal with my son. The trainers are great with kids too! I had some Muay Thai experience but he had none. Truly just the best experience. I kept extending and decided not to go to a posh hotel on the beach and just keep up with my training at Sumalee. The international crowd is inspiring and the vibe is killer. You can stay at a fancy hotel anywhere! Go to Sumalee and reealllly live! Can’t wait to come back.
