Top 10 Classes & Workshops in Phuket, Thailand
Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers and serious divers, who enthusiastically submerge themselves in the Andaman Sea. Blue lagoons and salmon sunsets make for a dream-like atmosphere, and indeed, a vacation here can feel a bit surreal. Watersports are the most popular activities, though once you’ve had enough sun there’s still plenty to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

Spent the day cooking amazing Thai food right next to an idyllic beach with amazing views. Fantastic instructors James and Get made the cooking instruction really fun and I learnt how to cook Thai Green curry totally from scratch and It tasted lovely. We also cooked 3 other dishes all lovely, it was a really fun day I would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone even if your not a very good cook. Good luck to everyone at Phuket Thai Cookery School you deserve to succeed. Fantastic ????

We had the pleasure of taking Jim’s class. We were picked up, taken to the food market before class. Everything was explained very well and the learning experience was fun!

Our traditional Muay Thai gym has evolved into a wholistic centre which retains excellent Muay Thai training at its core. We've added Yoga (in our iconic open Thai style shala), massage (also in an open shala), excellent nutrition (The Ringside Restaurant) and a vegan café (Revitalize) as we've evolved. We've accrued an excellent reputation for our customer focussed service, training and support. Our location away from the hustle and bustle makes us an obvious choice for people wanting to focus on themselves and achieving their personal goals. We have a sound business ethic and are committed to giving back to the Muay Thai community through our Wor Watthana project which supports impoverished children from the poorest region of Thailand.

Second visit to Sumalee. Brilliant boot camp, massage and yoga on site and the Muay Thai coaches are amazing. We went for general fitness rather than boxing expertise and the coaches accommodate whatever level you are at. We will be back!

While staying in Patong I really wanted to learn more about Thai cuisine so read lots of reviews on Thai cooking classes and really like VJ’s. As someone who loves to cook & watches all cooking show & loves to read cookbooks ???? The biggest draw card was the markets before to pick up the produce for the dishes we were to make. So I booked online the day before & got an email confirming the morning class (market included) also confirmed a pick up from my hotel in Patong. 10:30 pick up from Patong with a lovely driver & air conditioned van. About a 20mins drive to kata beach (beautiful coast drive) Then to the markets ???????? VJ meets the group there and walks us around explaining all sorts of ingredients that are used in Thai cooking, truely loved learning the correct Thai produce. Back to the cooking studio (just down the road from the market) we are welcomed into an air conditioned prep room with everything we need to make our 4 dishes. We are offered coffee, water & fruit throughout the class. First we prepared our ingredients for Tom yum, pad Thai & chicken & basil. Each ingredient was explained. Then we learnt about curry paste. I made green curry paste, from scratch using a mortar & pestle, thankfully VJ’s staff helped me, very talented ladies ???????????????? We then went to our cooking stations and started with Tom yum Goong (prawns) so much fun! This was the best Tom yum I’ve ever eaten ???????? Next was Pad Thai with chicken, another delicious dish. We sat down to eat these two dishes after each cook. Then we made the stir fried chicken basil, this I loved. This really made me appreciate using the right ingredients really make or breaks a dish. Last was our curries (some made red curry paste) the method of cooking this dish was different to what I have used at home & something I will be using with all my curries. We then sat down to eat our last two dishes. The staff had the prep room ready with fresh steamed jasmine rice. A perfect way to enjoy our dishes. Boy was I full! Make sure you don’t eat breakfast beforehand. All recipes emailed to our class including all Thai ingredients and understandings. I was returned to my hotel after 2:30pm.. great way to spend my morning. Thank you Vj and team ❤️❤️

Unit27 is truly one of a kind. It’s the absolute best place I’ve ever been for training and the atmosphere there is unrivaled! What makes this place so special is the AMAZING people who make up the Unit27 team! Each has their own unique coaching style but each and every one of them are top class. A massive thank you to Jibby for pushing me to my absolute limit in Grenade, Natalie for her epic (and much needed) pep talks during body consultations, Billy for patiently correcting my rubbish form in every CrossFit class, Tamika for creating such a positive and encouraging vibe in every class of hers, Eng for being deceptively tough - hiding it by being SO friendly and always smiling, Nick and Mr Oh for appearing out of nowhere if they spot you slacking to make sure you’re giving 100%, Gib for her killer warm ups, Lizel for strategically avoiding filming me when I told her I hated being on camera, Harry’s FAB Rapid Fire sessions and super informative demos and Leo for his expert advice on weight loss and nutrition helping me keep up the Unit27 healthy lifestyle even after leaving Phuket with his online coaching! A massive thank you as well to the wonderful reception team and hidden heroes who make the place run as smoothly and professionally as it does! I can’t thank you guys enough for helping me on my weight loss journey and to anyone reading this wondering if this is the right place for you – ABSOLUTELY it is! You won’t find a more inclusive, inspiring and all round wonderful to smash your goals. Thank you Unit27 – I can’t wait to get back!

Hey everyone! My name is Anastasia and I really want to say out loud THE GREAT BIG THANK YOU to AKA Thailand ????????. I just feel that I have to share how happy I am with as many people as possible! I had 12 hours flight back home to think about everything that happened with me past month therefore, all the words below are from my heart and soul ❤️! I have been in AKA Trainload for 1 month and had a “Travel package” that includes everything that you would ever need for your perfect sport vocations (accommodation, transfer, trainings, motorbike and AKA goods)! I can say that it was the best decision I have ever made! It’s a top-quality facility with good equipment and classes for all levels: from beginners who just want to get fit and experience the truly Muay Thai to pro fighters. The location is just perfect, it seems like you are in the jungle (so much green, trees, NOT on the road), but there is also very very clean there despite the fact that there are so many trainings from early morning to late evening! The layout is perfect - cafe, gym, reception, parking, bathrooms and etc ...Also, AKA Thailand has an amazing cafe that serves fresh, healthy and very tasty food at a reasonable cost! You can find all the traditional Thai dishes there as well as Europe’s. There are so many things that I want to tell and say thank you! I want to say thanks to Mike Swick who built and organized the perfect gym in the perfect location with the best team! I can’t say enough good things about what you put together and the people you put together! I know I am one of so many whose life has been changed and impacted as a result of training at AKA Thailand! Thank you for a great opportunity to practice with the best! I have never thought that I can attend one class with UFC champs and other pro fighters!!! I want to say thanks to Director of Customer Service - Marc, he is a great person who always ready to help you, answer all your questions, show you facility. He runs the AKA Thailand excellent and the office staff is also very helpful, nice and professional. They all made me feel right at home! I was practicing Muay Thai and I am so happy with your training! Your Muay Thai program encouraging and I didn’t really think I will enjoy it as much as I have done. ALL COACHES are amazing and highly skilled and VERY VERY experienced (Kru Bird, Kru Beng, Kru Wut, Kru Pet, Kru Chai, Cru Speed, Kru Park, Kru Son, Kru Bas, Kru Dit, Kru Oop) !!! They put so much effort into their students! They are incredibly passionate about Muay Thai and want to get you better and better after every practice and inspire you to achieve your absolute best!! They follow your successes and are happy to get to know you as a person and become your friend! Every coach is different but very well knowledgeable and it’s always fun to work with any of them! Most of my Personal Trainings I had with Kru Pet and he is the best one! He improved my skills and put me on the completely next level, he though me not only techniques and skills but the philosophy, understanding ... he pushed me to keep fighting, keep stronger every practice! The Airdyne classes were so exhausted, but I am very thankful to Dillon how he pushed us every day! He is a great motivator, awesome coach ( and of course fighter) and outstanding person! I am truly inspired to stay active and improve myself and these words “halfway! 10 seconds! Back on the bikes” will stay in my head forever! The first time in my life I tried the MMA class and thanks to Dillon and Jay I really enjoyed it! It was a new great experience for me! And their professionalism helped me to understand the all-new techniques that I have never tried before! Training at AKA Thailand has been an excellent experience! I feel better, stronger, happier and more fit than ever before! Working out at AKA Thailand has really changed my life! It has not only given me more confidence but also gives me some stress-release and some “me” time in the midst of my crazy schedule, moreover I have a sense of accomplishment and inner peace!! I improved so much in Muay Thai than never before! I am amazed every day that one's change could have such a huge impact!! I would not work out with other gyms! I met so many great people from all other the world who became a real family for me! You united people from all other the world with one passion !!!! I am incredibly happy and pleased with my AKA experience. And I highly recommend AKA Thailand to everyone who likes sport, fitness, Muay Thai, MMA, and BJJ. I am very amazed at the results - after 1 month! I look forward to coming and train in AKA Thailand again and I really want to try and participate in the Muay Thai fight! It will be another opportunity to challenge myself and achieve new goals! There are no limits)) So I don’t say Goodbye, I say SEE YOU SOON my best place on the planet!! To those who thinking between AKA and Tiger .... the answer is AKA 100%. There is no place to get the best trainings, atmosphere, and experience than AKA! It is the greatest vocations/training camp ever !! It’s a great brand that grows very very fast and they deserve to be the best! AKA Thailand and the team I wish you all the best! It not only takes brains and experience but courage and strength and YOU definitely have all those traits and more to succeed! Keep on going ????✊????????????????????????????????????????????!

Rattachai Muay Thai is a superb family run gym in Phuket. It's among the couple of gyms that I've gone to that really deserves 5 stars for a couple of factors. For starters, it's placed 1 block far from soi-ta-iad, therefore it's really near what mma fighters street is offering. Next, the gym is immaculate and well run. Third, Nit and Noi are 2 of probably the kindest individuals that you'll actually meet, and allow you to feel welcomed at the gym of theirs. This isnt a fitness center which is only for martial artists. Everybody is welcomed, and everybody gets instruction that is excellent . Quarter, the fitness center is not over crowded. An essential trouble with lots of the gyms on Soi-ta-sad is they've way too many visitors and too few trainers. As an outcome, your oftentimes only nobody and a face gets to understand you. The community at Rattachai is a lot lesser and a lot more tight knit. Fifth, the trainers at Rattachai almost all have an excellent fighting experience and also do a huge task of concentrating on technique. The trainers dont simply concentrate on the many gifted pupils. They offer every person with excellent knowledge and be sure to mention errors once you cause them to become. As an outcome, the method of yours will certainly boost quickly, and also you are going to learn a great deal. Lastly, price. You receive the benefits of training with champions without having a top value. The training is certainly well worth the money. Rattachai Muay Thai is among the very best gyms that I've previously visited. Right after having taught in Thailand, China, the Philippines, and the United States, I claim that Rattachai is truly an excellent workout room for folks of all levels and all ages. Do yourself a favor and look it over in case you're in Phuket. You will not be disappointed.
