What's on offer
Muay Thai camps are Pattaya's specialty — train like a fighter or just take a class, with experienced (often ex-pro) trainers and total flexibility on length. Commercial gyms cover machines, weights and classes; there are also CrossFit boxes, boxing clubs and personal trainers. Most hotels have a basic gym too.
What it costs
Expect a commercial-gym day pass at ฿100–300, a monthly membership ฿1,000–2,500, and a Muay Thai session ฿300–500 (cheaper per class with weekly/monthly packages). It's affordable enough to train daily on a normal travel budget.
