What is it? Set by Khlong Saen Saep, the gym is set in a garden home. Founded by the Yuhannge family, who raised 16 children here, Muay Thai became a way to steer them from a troubled neighbourhood. Every child turned professional. Even as lives move on, the place still holds them together.
Why go? Set beside Khlong Saen Saep, the gym benefits from open air and steady breezes that soften the heat, offering a calmer experience than most central Bangkok venues. Comfort doesn’t dilute standards. Training is led by champion-level teachers holding WPMF and WMO belts, alongside coaches from the Looksaikongdin lineage. Every session delivers full focus and intensity, balancing a relaxed setting with serious instruction.
Time Out tip: The team has led seminars across multiple countries, earning a larger following abroad than at home. International students arrive knowing the name, while many locals are still catching on. For now, that imbalance works in your favour, as quieter sessions reward those who choose their timing well.
Looksaikongdin Gym, Khlong Sam Wa. Open Monday to Saturday, 4pm to 6pm. 061-650-7017. Facebook: Looksaikongdin Gym / IG: looksaikongdingym
