Hey guys! New to the group and am looking to travel from the United States to Phuket to train martial arts. Any recommendations on what type of visa and best areas to stay in? Thanks 🙏🏻
Answer summary
The appropriate visa for traveling to Phuket largely depends on the duration of stay. For stays under two months, travelers from the United States may not need a visa and can enter Thailand under visa exemption. If you plan to stay longer or enroll in training for an extended period, consider applying for a Non-Immigrant O visa or other suitable visas. Popular areas for training include Chalong and Rawai, with notable gyms like Phuket Muay Thai and Sinbi Muay Thai Training Camp being recommended for quality martial arts education.

Unless you are staying over 2 months then you won’t need to get a visa, you’ll get the visa exemption when you arrive.

For Muay Thai there are alot of gyms in Chalong, there’s a street called the fitness street or soi ta’ied that you can look up.

These gyms aren’t the best tho but they are more accommodating for tourist.

One of the best gyms is ran by Bryan Dobler an American called Phuket Muay Thai that’s in Rawai.

The best traditional Thai gym is in Kathu called Sor Dejdamrong Muaythai or closer to Rawai is Sinbi Muay Thai Training Camp - Phuket, Thailand ค่ายมวย ซินบีมวยไทย

There's no visa on arrival for US citizens. They get a visa-exempt (no visa) stamp in their passport.

The best visa will depend on how long, which you don't say.

The best place to stay will depend on what school you are attending.
