"Amazing gym, very pleasant atmosphere! All the trainers are amazing, very good at what they do. And all of them are seasoned pros with multiple titles underneath their belts. In my opinion, they pay attention to everyone, always willing to help, or show a new technique. I am grateful I have found them, and would recommend Santai gym to anyone, whether beginner or seasoned fighter."

"100% an Authentic Muay Thai Fight Gym. I say this because when I decided to come Thailand which have thousands of gyms so I did research of the top list of “Authentic Muay Thai Gyms” and in the north Santai was rated 1st. At the time I booked the prices were even discounted so for me I was like I’m all in. I booked a 6-month training package with accommodation and I can tell you that from day one from being picked up at the airport until the end of my 6-months I not only learnt proper Authentic Muay Thai from the original Muay Boran fundamentals, but I also became part of a beautiful Muay Thai Family. Santai is the only gym that brings nationalities with so many historic differences from all around the world and brings them together under the Thailand Flag and connect them through the Beautiful Art of Muay Thai. The trainers are super legit ranging from Rajadamnern champions to current OmNoi Stadium 5-round Muay Thai Fighters to One Championship Fighters which makes this an insane pedigree of trainers who can take you from basic “No Experience” straight into the ring for your first proper 5-round Muay Thai fight! If your willing to put in the work and respect the culture you can achieve great results in the “Art of 8 Limbs”. They are well managed and organized, AupAip is amazing and the gym is clean and hygienic. I rate them the number 1 Muay Thai Gym in Chiang Mai and that’s based on experience from making life long friend to having the honor to fight under the Santai Muay Thai banner! With this review I thank SANTAI MUAY THAI and wish for them extended blessings for their future and may they always remain the humble and beautiful gym that they truly are!!! Khob Khun Krup 🙏🏼💯💪🏼👊🏼🔥❤️"
