Marina House MUAYTHAI Ta-iad Phuket

Marina House MUAYTHAI Ta-iad Phuket Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Marina House MUAYTHAI Ta-iad Phuket? It’s not your typical beach resort at all – this place is actually built around serious Muay Thai training, and honestly, that’s what makes it so interesting. I mean, sure, you’re still in Phuket with all the tropical vibes, but there’s this energy here that’s completely different from the usual tourist spots. The whole setup revolves around the Ta-iad Boxing Stadium, and even if you’re not into fighting sports, watching the early morning training sessions while sipping coffee is pretty mesmerizing.

The four-star rating feels about right – it’s comfortable without being fancy, which actually works perfectly for the vibe they’re going for. The rooms are clean and functional, though don’t expect ultra-luxurious finishes. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night despite being so close to the action during the day. The staff genuinely knows their stuff about Muay Thai if you’re curious about getting involved, and they’re not pushy about it if you’re just there to relax. I stayed during shoulder season in October, and the pool area was never crowded – actually became my go-to spot for afternoon downtime when the training sessions got too intense to watch (those guys are seriously dedicated).

Location-wise, you’re sort of tucked away from the main Phuket beach chaos, which I found refreshing. It’s not a quick walk to Patong or the big shopping areas, but that distance actually works in your favor if you want to experience something more authentic. The local food stalls nearby are legit – I had some of the best pad thai of my trip just a five-minute walk away, and the prices were what locals pay, not tourist markup. Transportation isn’t a huge hassle either; tuk-tuks are easy to flag down, though having a scooter rental makes everything more convenient. The 8.3 rating makes sense to me because while it’s not perfect for everyone, it delivers exactly what it promises. If you’re looking for a different side of Phuket or have any interest in martial arts culture, this place offers something you won’t find at the typical beachfront hotels. Plus, there’s something oddly relaxing about falling asleep to the distant sounds of evening training sessions – way better than loud pool parties, trust me.

Reviews of Marina House MUAYTHAI Ta-iad Phuket

• Achuyth from India (9/10)

  I liked the overall arrangement of the hotel. It's perfect for muay thai enthusiasts.

• Caly from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Super comfortable beds, clean, the pool was great and the photos definitely don’t do the property justice, super close to gyms/Muay Thai centres, lovely staff, lots of nice restaurants nearby

• Cheryl from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Location and bed was very comfy

• Idilwild from Australia (7/10)

  Location was great. Close to Laundrymat, 7-11, Juice Bar and Food.

• Matej from Czech Republic (9/10)

  Although I am not a big fan of martial arts or passionate about fitness, I very much enjoyed the vibe of "The Soi" street. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice view of the big buddha statue. There is something like a gym in the lobby (threadmill, some dumbbells, TRX, …) if you don't want to go to one of the local supergyms. You can also play ping-pong or badminton or use the 50m swimming pool.

• Louise from United Arab Emirates (9/10)

  Great location to access Fitness Street. Room cleaned regularly during stay. We stayed 4 days but many stay for longer.

• Alexandra from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Great location- right on the main strip, grabs come super quick to the location. Although bedrooms are basic, the beds are really comfy and they come by to clean every other day.

• Kip from United States (9/10)

  I liked the kitty cat who I named "Knucklehead". Everything else was great.
