WELCOME TO OUR
about us
We chose Mae Taeng for its quiet environment, cleaner air, cooler climate, and natural surroundings — an ideal place to focus on training.
Our Muay Thai gym is located in Mae Taeng, around 38 km north of Chiang Mai city, in the heart of Northern Thailand. Surrounded by mountains and close to Sri Lanna National Park, the area offers a peaceful setting away from the noise and distractions of the city. This environment gives students the space to focus more deeply on training, recovery, and consistent practice.
Mae Taeng also offers easy access to local markets, waterfalls, caves, lakes, and other outdoor activities. The surrounding countryside allows students to experience a quieter side of Northern Thailand and enjoy nature during their free time between training sessions.
Mae Taeng has a tropical climate with three main seasons. The cooler season generally runs from November to February, with warm days and cooler mornings and evenings. From March to May, temperatures become hotter, while the rainy season usually runs from June through October.
Because Mae Taeng is surrounded by mountains and located north of Chiang Mai city, the environment can feel quieter and cooler, particularly during the morning and evening — making it comfortable for training during much of the year.
Training takes place throughout the year. Students should bring light training clothes, running shoes, and, during the rainy season, a light rain jacket for their time outside the gym.
