Muay Thai training in Ayutthaya, among the temples

Ayutthaya was once one of the largest cities in the world; today you walk among centuries-old temple ruins. In the middle of this setting our partner Sit-Palan has trained fighters the old-school way for more than thirty years the gym has featured in BBC and Discovery Channel documentaries.

Training at Sit-Palan means small groups, plenty of personal attention from head coach Seed, and Muay Thai as it has been passed down for generations.

Together with Khao Yai, Ayutthaya forms our Temple & Mountain Camp tour — culture and nature in one trip, just over an hour from Bangkok.
