Core Combat Chiang Mai

While there are countless boxing gyms around Chiang Mai, our pick has to be Core Combat – a solid option for nomads looking to try our Muay Thai, especially if you want a structured routine beyond the usual drop-in gym culture. 

Fully licensed by Thailand’s Ministry of Education, it offers sessions on Thai and Western boxing alongside MMA, self-defence and Eskrima, all under one roof. 

What we like about this spot is that it's especially practical for nomads and long-stayers – the gym supports long-term visa routes through training, including DTV ‘Soft Power’ packages and ED visas via martial arts courses.

Core Combat Chiang Mai. Changklan Road. 9am-8pm (9am-5pm Saturday, closed Sunday)
