Sinbi Muay Thai

What is it?

Ask around and plenty of people will tell you Sinbi is Phuket’s real number one. Opened nearly  20 years ago by former Lumpinee champion Kru Sing, this long-running powerhouse produces serious fighters while somehow keeping the atmosphere warm and welcoming. The gym itself is huge – three rings, 50 punch bags and packed classes – but everyone still gets solid one-on-one attention during pad work and technique drills.

Why we love it: 

The trainers here are genuinely top tier. Most are former or current fighters, several are champions, and unlike some gyms that stretch staff thin, Sinbi puts plenty of coaches on the floor. Stay a while and the training quickly becomes more tailored and personal. 

Time Out tip:

Book a private session with head trainer Kru Fa if you really want to sharpen your technique.
