Editor’s Note

Unlike many commercial gyms in Phuket, Rawai MuayThai Camp smells of “tradition.” When going there, bring more than just your ticket; bring an open mind to observe the immense respect the athletes show with every strike. Watch the Wai Kru dance performed before the fight closely; you will see that every movement has a meaning.

Urban Legends and Mysteries

Deep within Phuket lies the legend of the “Sak Yant” tattoos, which fighters rely on for strength before entering the ring. According to belief, the soul of an ancient Thai warrior roams the jungles of Phuket and grants invincibility only to those carrying the correct sacred symbols on their bodies. Many Rawai boxers believe these tattoos protect them from injury and strike fear into their opponents.
