Chiang Mai has long been one of the places people come to learn Muay Thai, and for remote workers it is an easy habit to build: train before the laptop opens, or after the last call of the day. But with dozens of gyms across the city, how do you pick one? We looked at what the people who train there actually say.
On 11 November 2026 we searched Google Maps for Muay Thai gyms and camps in Chiang Mai, kept only training gyms with at least 300 reviews and no closure notice, and ranked them by rating and then by number of reviews. The result has a twist. The gym with by far the most reviews, nearly 4,000 of them, does not come first.
The five highest-rated Muay Thai gyms in Chiang Mai
| Rank | Gym | Area | Google rating | Reviews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Money Muay Thai 2 | Huay Kaew Road, near Nimman | 5.0 | 609 |
| 2 | Forever Muay Thai | South-west Chiang Mai, towards Hang Dong | 5.0 | 405 |
| 3 | Dang Muay Thai Gym | Arak Road, west side of the Old City | 4.9 | 3,916 |
| 4 | In-Come Gym | Sri Poom Road, north side of the Old City | 4.9 | 393 |
| 5 | Muay Thai Fever | Canal Road, south-west Chiang Mai | 4.9 | 331 |
- Money Muay Thai 2, Huay Kaew Road: 5.0 from 609 reviews, the highest score with the largest review count among the perfect ratings.
- Forever Muay Thai, south-west Chiang Mai: 5.0 from 405 reviews, with its listing showing a morning session and an afternoon reopening.
- Dang Muay Thai Gym, Arak Road: 4.9 from 3,916 reviews, more than any other gym we checked and still within a tenth of a point of the top.
- In-Come Gym, Sri Poom Road: 4.9 from 393 reviews, inside the Old City moat and listed as open until 10pm.
- Muay Thai Fever, Canal Road: 4.9 from 331 reviews, another gym listing a morning session and a 4pm reopening.
Should 3,916 reviews count for more than a perfect five?
It depends what you want from a rating. A 5.0 from a few hundred students is impressive, but a single gym holding 4.9 across almost 4,000 reviews says something about consistency over a long period. That is why we set the bar at 300 reviews rather than counting every new gym with a handful of perfect scores. If you value a proven track record over a perfect score, treat Dang as a joint leader rather than third.
Just outside the five, Bangarang Muay Thai and Fitness Camp held 4.9 from 305 reviews, Chiangmai Muay Thai Gym on Wiang Kaew Road held 4.8 from 645, and The Camp Muay Thai Resort and Academy held 4.8 from 506.
Does the timetable fit a working day?
Often, yes. Two of the five listings, Forever Muay Thai and Muay Thai Fever, showed a split day, closing late in the morning and reopening in the afternoon, which reflects the common pattern of a morning and an afternoon training session. For anyone working to European or Australian hours from Chiang Mai, that gap in the middle of the day is where the laptop goes.
