What does a 2-week Muay Thai trip to Bangkok cost?
Updated October 19, 2026
The short answer
Outside the flight, a do-it-yourself 2-week trip costs roughly $1,100 to $3,600 per person, and more with a 5-star hotel. The hotel is the biggest variable. Training is about 350 to 600 THB per session, a ringside fight ticket about 2,000 to 2,500 THB, and a good local meal about 100 THB. Round-trip flights from the US are often about $700 to $1,300.
