Our philosophy at Diamond Muay Thai is ‘to develop correct Muay Thai technique in a fun and relaxed environment'. The fantastic family atmosphere at Diamond is fundamental to our success. Personal attention to students is also of paramount importance to us and everybody receives one-to-one time with our trainers every session. Whether you are a complete novice or seasoned fighter, it is our sincere goal to improve your Thai boxing ability and to polish your Muay Thai technique.
For the last ten years Mon has been training foreign students and Thai fighters including well-known champions from Bangkok and Southern Thailand. It was a dream of Mon’s to open a Muay Thai camp from an early age. Now that he has achieved this goal, Mon’s focus is to maintain the consistently high standard of training and to ensure that Diamond Muay Thai remains one of the best and most popular Muay Thai camps in Southern Thailand. To make sure that these high levels of training are met Mon has recruited a large and dedicated team of trainers. Our trainers have all fought at a high level -some are former champions and many have trained current and future champions.
Our Background and Philosophy
The Diamond Muay Thai camp was formerly just a bare piece of land on the edge of Thong Sala. After completing the construction of the gym and trainers’ rooms (in November 2011) Diamond opened it’s doors with 2 trainers, 5 bags and not many students! The Muay Thai camp has grown organically and slowly we have improved the facilities as and when money has become available. The gym is owned and run by Mon while his business partners Simon and Jesse look after the day-to-day running of the camp. This partnership allows Mon to focus on his duties as head trainer of the gym and to fully dedicate time to his students.

TESTIMONIALS
‘We had a great time staying in the camp to prepare our team for the Word Championships in 2014. The accommodation and the food were perfect for us. At Diamond there are many good trainers who really take the time to teach you technique and lots of tricks. Solid pad holders who push you to your limits. Definitely we will come back.’

‘Training at Diamond Muay Thai was an amazing experience. Working with experienced trainers like Mon helped me to sharpen my technique and improve various aspects of my game. Besides the great training Simon, Jesse and the rest of the guys are super friendly and welcome everyone with open arms. Being on Koh Phangan amongst amazing beaches and surroundings doesn’t hurt either. I’ll definitely be back!’

‘I have been visiting Diamond since November 2011 and I have also fought for them on several occasions. The Diamond family have always made me very welcome and every day of training with them is a pleasure! Diamond is professionally run with a mix of beginners and intermediates training alongside both International and Thai fighters. The trainers (especially Mon) are exceptional. I will be back again in 2015!’
