Chiang Mai Muay thai camps
The best known camp to westerners near the city of Chiang Mai seems to be Lanna. There are on the Internet websites for two other camps close to this city, Siam Number 1 and Chiang Mai Olympia. Has anyone ever been to one of these camps? Are they as good as Lanna or maybe even better?

checkout muaythai2000.com and the muay thai camps link. Just because there are not many web sites for muay thai camps dosent meant there anent many muay thai camps, infact i think it may be better to go to a camp that dose not have a web site, that way you know that they are not to americanized, you want them to be a little americanized, so you can talk to them and stuff, but you still want to know that they can still train good fighters that fight in thailand -
Siam No. 1 was opened while I was in Chiang Mai, by Ajahn Suchart from Siam No.1 in Toronto. He's a good man, and the camp looks nice. Khru Beum, co-opener at Siam, used to trainer at Lanna, in fact if you go to the webpage, you see many Lanna emblems on shirts. Olympia is also supposed to be a good camp as well. Once you get there, you don't have to commit to anything, check them out. Experiences will vary.Comment

Check out Chay Yai Gym...

I checked lanna muay thai a long while back, it seemed some of the trainers didnt focus or didnt care about the people they were working with. It sort of turned me off. I could have been there on an off day or something. But i never went back.Comment

Did you train at true bee? Actually heard some good things about the camp but I havent been there myself. Anybody trained there?Comment

I trained with Bee for a year in Thailand before he opened up his own camp. He has very good English and is a great trainer. He worked at Vos Gym Amsterdam (Hoost, Hypolyte, Yvel, Bonjasky) for three months as well.Comment

One of my students has just come back from True Bee and he loved it,he said it has a very friendly family type atmosphere and good training.
He is saving up to go back asap!.Comment

I spent two months at Lanna and I loved it.
What George Stando pointed out is definitely a concern - the camp does attract a lot of "tourist boxers" (people with no experience who come out for a couple of classes just to say that they've trained Muay Thai), and this can make getting quality pad time with the trainers a problem. You definitely have to take the initiative and harass the trainers for pad time - maybe you shouldn't have to, but this wasn't a problem for me.
Side note - I was very impressed by the fighters I saw from Chai Ya gym.
Side note #2. I miss Thailand.Comment
