About The Owners
Two passionate fighters – Henry Lee and KC Carlos–founded Yak Yai Muay Thai in 2022.
Their mission began with wanting to share the highest standards of training with Muay Thai enthusiasts, whether it was their first time trying a class or if they were a long-time veteran of the sport.
After working together for many years and dedicating more than half of their lives to Muay Thai, they decided to create their own legacy to share with martial artists all over the world. Thus, Yak Yai Muay Thai was born on the sunny island of Phuket, Thailand.
It is their hope that every student that walks through the doors learns something new about themselves and the beautiful Art of Eight Limbs. Yak Yai Muay Thai guarantees incredible training by passionate coaches and friendly training partners. Beginners and experienced athletes alike will gain a new perspective, as well as many new tools and techniques.
They guarantee that they will provide you with a dedicated strategic plan to improve your overall goals through your journey in Muay Thai.

Reviews
Great gym, great atmosphere and proper Muay Thai training. The coaches are solid, the sessions are challenging and the whole team makes you feel welcome from day one. Special mention to Kru Tar — an absolute weapon of a coach. Knows his stuff, pushes you hard and gives you the technical feedback you need to actually improve. If you’re serious about getting better at Muay Thai, I’d highly recommend Yak Yai. 🥊💪

One of the best gyms in Phuket without a doubt. We completed group sessions and privates with kru miki. They made us feel so welcome from the jump. Kru miki was a great teacher but also did not disappoint on entertainment even when things got rough in the sessions. All the coaches where amazing picking up on technique and correcting this within pads and shadow boxing. Both of the co owners made us feel so welcome on our first group session explaining everything making our nerves practically disappear. Yak yai is must for your trip couldn’t recommend highly enough.

You feel welcomed from your first day. The coaches never neglect you (each one gives full attention). They give everything they have in every session (pads, sparring, clinching, conditioning). Training is adapted to all levels, from beginner to professional, and everyone gets the time they need without feeling overwhelmed. Private training is excellent and results show quickly. After training at many gyms on the soi, I can confirm this is the best one. It will always be my first choice whenever I come to Phuket. Thanks KS and Henry for creating such a wonderful place. Keep it up.
