It can be an enriching experience when you finally book your ticket to Thailand for your Muay Thai journey.
Chances are that if it’s your first time coming to Thailand or your first time training Muay Thai, you have no clue what to expect when it comes to accommodation.
Sources online contradict each other quite often, and you don’t know if you will be sleeping on bunk beds with Thai fighters or if your only toilet is a hole in the ground that you have to squat over!
Khongsittha Muay Thai aims to dispel the myth that there is no quality accommodation at Muay Thai gyms in Thailand.
You’ll find that many gyms are starting to offer their own accommodation to customers who want to get the most out of their training.
The Background and Location
Kiatthada House has been Khongsittha’s accommodation provider since its creation in 2013 and has operated for over 20 years.
Starting as a family business, it became the ideal place for people interested in training and staying in Thailand.
The gym and resort are located in the Bangkok district of Lat Phrao.
What makes this part of the city friendly for training is that it is home to a mostly Thai community. There are hundreds of great, established Thai noodle shops, restaurants, massage places, and businesses that cater to Thais rather than expats.
If you’re looking to train in Bangkok, experience the comfort and convenience of living in a modern city while staying away from the hustle and bustle of tourism-oriented districts like Nana, Asoke, and Thonglor; Lat Phrao is the perfect place to train.
The resort is located directly behind Khongsittha Muay Thai.
Other gyms in the city don’t have the option to offer accommodation that close to them without building rooms within the gym, which can be expensive and, in many cases, low-quality and not suitable for most travelers today.
Many gyms recommend nearby accommodation, but can’t offer such low rates, and it can take a long time to get to and from the gym.
Solving this problem has made Khongsittha an excellent option for Bangkok Muay Thai. Around the gym and resort are convenience stores, night markets, traditional Thai markets, restaurants, and shopping malls, all within walking distance.
Kiatthada Driving Range is a 15-minute walk from the resort and is ideal for vacationers on Muay Thai training who still want to hit some golf balls.
Snooker halls, badminton courts, and basketball courts are also nearby and offer great, relaxing activities after training hard in Muay Thai.
The Rooms
The main reason behind Khongsittha and Kiatthada’s partnership was to solve the problem of quality, affordable accommodation for Muay Thai enthusiasts.
All rooms come equipped with air-conditioning, a private shower with toiletries, a dresser, satellite TV, and a refrigerator unit.
You’ll find that having a proper room will aid your recovery and keep you fit to train.
Previous customers have said this accommodation style was precisely what they were looking for.
Still, they were apprehensive at first about staying at a Muay Thai gym because they weren’t sure what to expect.
The suite rooms at Kiatthada are essentially two superior rooms connected.
They include some very comfy sofas, four-person dining tables, and all of the other facilities that superior rooms have.
Suite rooms are ideal for those looking to stay a bit longer and appreciate the additional space.
Other accommodation options at Kiatthada include superior twin rooms and family rooms.
The twin rooms contain two double beds, which are suitable for friends interested in training together and staying in the same room.
The family room is great for a couple with children, as it offers one king-size bed and one double bed.
