Founder and head coach of PayakSamui Muay Thai
FOUNDER & HEAD COACH

From fighter, to champion, to coach, to the next generation.

The foundation of PayakSamui comes from years spent inside the ring. Our founder and head coach competed at professional level and achieved championship success across recognised Muay Thai competitions before taking his knowledge into coaching and gym development.

His journey has taken him from professional competition in Thailand to teaching Muay Thai to international students in both Thailand and Australia. Rather than teaching from theory alone, his coaching is built on knowledge developed through real competition, training and years inside the sport — passed on to students from first-timers to serious fighters.

THE PAYAKSAMUI TRAINING EXPERIENCE
