About
The fighter-led map of Muay Thai camps in Thailand.
MuayThang exists because every "where should I train in Thailand" thread on r/MuayThai cycles through the same six gyms with no decision framework. Every "best Muay Thai camps" listicle ranks gyms by tourist stars, not fighter signal.
What this is
A presence-first map of foreign-fighter-friendly Muay Thai camps in Thailand. Three primitives no other tool stacks:
- Live presence.See who's training where right now. The first thing on the homepage is a count of fighters checked in across Thailand this week.
- Faceted leaderboards.Sparring at 65 kg, clinch focus, fight match opportunities, English friendliness, value. Every dimension a fighter actually decides on, ranked separately. Not a single "best gyms" list.
- Amateur fighter identity. A profile with weight, style, country, optional Muay Thai Records link. Public roster on every gym page. Connection happens off-app via Instagram.
What this is not
- Not a booking marketplace. We don't take commission.
- Not a directory of stars. The 4.7 / 5 average means nothing to a 65 kg amateur.
- Not a content library. We surface gyms, not technique videos.
- Not a tourist agency. The voice is fighter to fighter.
How this works
Free forever for fighters. The data is crowdsourced from the people who actually train in these gyms. Reviews are faceted (sparring at weight, trainer, fights, English, value, beginner). Prices are verified by date so stale data gets de-weighted.
Gyms can claim their listings to control descriptions, prices, photos, and trainer rosters. That is the only thing we charge for: gym-side control. Fighter access never costs anything.
Who built this
Gonçalo, Portuguese fighter living in Thailand. Sports-tech background. The user is in the user segment. Side project; no outside capital, no fundraising. Goal is sustainable side-project economics, not unicorn outcomes. Reach out: github.com/retraca/muaythang.
Where the data comes from
Day-1 seed: OpenStreetMap (sport=muay_thai across Thailand, 54 gyms) plus a curated list of named Tier-A and Tier-B camps from market research (31 more, ~3 dedupes). 82 gyms total. We need help filling the rest. Every check-in, every review, every price update comes from the fighters who train at these gyms.
