Trevor McKenzie Jr. (USA):
“This is my Kru (teacher) Daeng.
Hes a brilliant teacher and believe it or not, in his own way a great role model. Hes taught me a ton of muay thai and more about being a decent person, takes absolutely nothing serious that he doesn’t have to and gives even when he doesn’t have much. Regardless of what happens from this point forward in my life I honestly will be able to brush it off because somewhere between him kicking ass, smacking me In the face when my hands were too low, laughing hysterically when I kick wrong and hurt myself, offering me a drink after practice, food at random, and going out his way to help me out I’ve become a stronger individual. Thanks Kru Daeng and Santai Muay Thai.”

“Santai muay Thai is one of the best gyms I’ve trained at!
The trainers at the gym all use very good methods of teaching the perfect technique in every strike and defenses skills and are very open to talk about muay thai.They have alot to show and we all have alot to learn from them, there knowlge of muay thai is unbelievable! Just when I think im getting away with having a long water break they’ll always come over and show you a new combination and a few little tricks which helps alot, plus they always like to make you push really hard on the pads haha! Its a really good gym to be amongst, the vibe and hospitality the best I’ve ever reicved there all really good people! Can’t wait to get back there and get the training in and have a couple fights! ” (Just like Danial Williams Moppa hails from “Khao Sok” gym in Australia.

I am gladly returning to Santai because it is my preferred gym in Thailand.
I have trained in gyms in Chaing Rai, Bangkok…
I have trained in gyms in Chaing Rai, Bangkok…
and the south of Thailand, but Santai appealed the most because the first time I went there for a month i learned more than I did in 6 years of training in Australia.The santai trainers provide so much attention to technique and balance. They don’t just hold you hard pads and train you hard like the other gyms I’ve been to in Thailand, even if you are a foreigner they still teach you the best technique and skills they were taught through there well accomplish careers, especially when the majority of trainers trained under general Pinsinchai back in the day when they were top Bangkok fighters and Lumpini etc.
And kru Apple I’ve never boxed someone so skilled him being a commonwealth boxer.Over here you get hard ‘fight ready’ training your technique is getting perfected the trainers don’t let an error in technique slip and correct you straight away or punish you with push ups or a flick in the ear when doing pads.
Another positive with Santai and another reason why I will return for many years is the location and friendly welcoming nature of the gym. I now have life long friends from the gym your always happy there and in the quiet relaxed place of Sankampaeng is everything you need with the city only being 20mins away and attractions very close to.
The locals seem friendly, everything is cheap and the temple right in front of the gym makes it an extremely special peacefully place.I could go on about w. Santai and how its one of my favorite places in the world and how much the gym has to offer for me but I am looking forward to returning next year and staying longer to keep learning and become a better stronger fighter, because I know W.Santai will help me achieve this!Dan Williams is soon to be Pro at Santai, and holder of 4 belts in SE Australia:
- Wkn featherweight WA Champion
- AMF Featherweight
- Bantamweight Champion
- WMC WA Champion in Australia.
