Arriving for Your Muay Thai Camp: Airport to Camp, eSIM and What to Pack

You have chosen your camp. This guide covers the practical part: what to sort out before you fly, how to get from the airport to the camp, how to be online from the moment you land, and what to put in your bag.

1. Before you fly

• Check that your phone supports eSIM. Most recent phones do. Check in your phone's settings, or with your phone maker, before you buy one.
• If you want an airport transfer, send us your flight details and the number of people in writing, through the site or on WhatsApp, before you travel. We need them to arrange the pickup.
• Visa: the rules depend on your nationality and change. Check the official source for your country (the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs and your nearest Thai embassy) before you book flights.
• Travel insurance: check that it covers contact sports and training, not only holidays.

2. From the airport to your camp

Which airport you land at depends on your camp:

• Phuket camps: Phuket International Airport (HKT).
• Khao Lak camps: usually Phuket International Airport (HKT) too, then by road.
• Krabi and Ao Nang camps: Krabi International Airport (KBV).
• Chiang Mai camps: Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX).

Your options:

• A transfer booked in advance: a private car or van for up to 3 people, from the airport serving your camp to your camp or hotel, and back at the end of your stay. On Phuket island it has a fixed price, shown on the airport transfers page; other routes are quoted on request. Send us your flight details in writing before you travel.
• A taxi from the official counter in the arrivals hall, or a ride-hailing app.

If you land late at night, a transfer booked in advance means one thing fewer to think about after a long flight.

3. Online from the moment you land: eSIM only

We offer an eSIM, not a physical SIM card. You install it on your phone before you leave or when you land, with the instructions we send you by email. You do not need to look for a shop at the airport.

• Plans: for about a week, two weeks or a month. See the Thailand eSIM page for the current plans and prices.
• Unlimited data, for maps, WhatsApp, talking to your camp and working remotely.
• Activation: the number has to be registered with the mobile provider, which asks for an ID check.
• Cancellation: the rule is shown before you pay. Today it is: more than 14 days before the service date, a refund minus a 10% cancellation fee and payment fees. Within 14 days, or once the eSIM is activated: not refundable.

4. What to pack

For training

• Training shorts and T-shirts: enough for two sessions a day, because sweaty kit takes time to dry.
• Hand wraps and a mouthguard, if you have them. Ask your camp what it provides and what you need to bring or buy there.
• A towel and a refillable water bottle.

For the rest of the day

• Light, quick-drying clothes and flip-flops.
• Sun protection and insect repellent.
• Anything you take regularly, with the prescription, in your hand luggage. Some medicines are restricted in Thailand: check the official rules before you travel.

Documents

• Your passport, your booking confirmation and your insurance details. Keep a copy on your phone too.

5. When you arrive at the camp

Say hello at reception, tell the trainers your experience and any injury, and ask for the timetable of your first week. For what that week looks like, read Muay Thai for beginners in Thailand.
