Small negative, before the massive positives: the communication online was not great. For reasons that aren't clear, it's possible to pay in advance for training, through PayPal, in such a way that Yokkao received my money but not confirmation of payment, so when I arrived they had not scheduled my session and I could no longer meet with the trainer I had requested. It looked like I had to bail entirely on my only training of my short time in Bangkok while still being out money spent.

However, it ended up being one of the best training sessions I had in the country. The manager recruited another fighter, Iquezang Kor Rungthanakeat, to work with me for an hour. They slashed the cost and put the rest of my balance into store credit (to avoid the cost of changing back to USD). Iquezang is a beast of a fighter, but he's also a truly wonderful teacher, as good as any I've met in NYC or Boston, despite having the worst English of anyone I met in gyms in Thailand. He was funny, patient, and creative. He didn't flatter me for anything I did well, just used it as a jumping off point to go deeper into technique building on my weak points. Iquezang kindly gave me extra time on the questions I had, while also noticing the difference between my needing a physical break and when I needed a mental break. Everyone else there was generous and professional, and the facilities were top notch quality.

Yokkao may not be inexpensive (or in an inexpensive neighborhood), but it is an amazing place to spend an afternoon learning.

I visited this training center in November, but didn't train as I was a little sick with the cough and flu. Still, observed the classes with regular people, as well as watching Spencer train hard. Also bough handwraps at 30% off due to black friday specials, and finally met Muay Thai legend Saenchai. It was a good experience at this world class center.

A mate and myself booked a private session with Manachai and it was so much better than we both expected.
Expected to do just a few pad rounds with Manachai, but our 1 hour session turned into 1 and a half hours with him showing and explaining some of his own moves and more. Even got to do a fun sparring session with him.
Will definitely go back when I have the chance.

We were only here for 2 days, I'm definitely coming bacj. The trainers are great, fun & friendly they made us feel welcomed. Yokkao cater for all levels from beginners to advance, even though we were only there for 2 days it was nice to have one of the fighters Jackie wanting to do some sparring with me the following day and the boxing coach offering pad work. I was disappointed I couldn't stay longer to be able to experience this....next time!

To be totally honest I went there because of Senchai of course! I wanted to see and train with The Legend. And it was amazing. Senchai is an amazing guy. He makes this gym special. I mean all of Thais are smiling but he is like super funny and very kind person. In some of the gyms it looks like concentration camps. Coaches are rude and only want to make you exhausted as fast as possible so you can go home after 30mins of training. I had one of the best pads there with one of the Kru, he was great as well. The only think is that it’s super commercial place. A lot of tourists make this gym a bit crowded so it’s the best place for trying Muay Thai in Thailand as it’s just in the city center( 10mins way from Asoke BTS) but you can find better gyms to train as a competitor. Still highly recommend!!!
