Our Story

Rooted in Real Muay Thai

Lanna Muay Thai is not a brand built from imagination.

It comes from a real place, a real gym, and a real Muay Thai world in Northern Thailand.

Since 1990, Lanna Muay Thai has been shaped by daily training, local fighters, international students, and the quiet discipline that grows through repetition.

Here, Muay Thai is more than a sport.

It is a way of learning, a way of growing, and a way of carrying yourself through life.

A Legacy Carried Forward

Lanna Muay Thai was founded in 1990 by Andy, a Canadian who helped bring Muay Thai from Chiang Mai to the wider world.

But Andy’s work was never only about promotion.

He believed in training people, especially local children, and giving them a chance to grow through Muay Thai.

One of those young fighters was Boon.

Boon grew up through the world of Lanna Muay Thai. He trained, fought, learned, and carried the lessons of the gym with him. After Andy passed away in 2018, Boon took over Lanna Muay Thai and continued the work that had shaped his own life.

Today, that legacy continues through the next generation.

More than 20 young Thai fighters, between the ages of 14 and 22, now live and train at Lanna Muay Thai. Some are preparing for competition. Some are building discipline. Some are discovering a path they may not have seen before.

Training Culture

The heart of Lanna Muay Thai is still the training floor.

Every day, fighters, coaches, and students move through the same rhythm: warming up, shadowboxing, padwork, clinching, sparring, conditioning, and returning to it again.

This repetition is where character is built.

Training teaches patience.
It teaches humility.
It teaches respect.
It teaches the strength to return tomorrow.

That is why Lanna Muay Thai is more than a gym.

It is a living training culture, shaped by the people who show up every day.

Our Responsibility

Since 2017, Lanna Muay Thai has supported a temple school in Northern Thailand by helping build a Muay Thai gym and providing long-term coaching for its students.

This was never meant to be a one-time project.

For years, students at the school have trained regularly through this program. They learn the basics of Muay Thai, but more importantly, they learn discipline, focus, respect, and confidence.

Some of the students who discovered a true passion for Muay Thai later came to Lanna Muay Thai to continue their path. Some became fighters. Some became coaches. Some found new possibilities beyond the mountains they came from.

This is not a campaign.

It is part of the responsibility we continue to carry.

Beyond the Gym

Lanna Muay Thai begins in the gym, but it does not end there.

The mindset built through training naturally moves into everyday life — into recovery, travel, work, relationships, and the way people carry themselves.

This is why the world of Lanna Muay Thai now extends into apparel, stories, community, and life beyond training.

Our products are not created from borrowed fight imagery.

They are shaped by the rhythm of a real Muay Thai world — by movement, sweat, discipline, and the needs of people who train and live with purpose.

Carry It Forward

Lanna Muay Thai is built on people.

The founder who opened the door.
The fighter who became the leader.
The young athletes who train every day.
The coaches who pass on knowledge.
The students who arrive from around the world.
The children who discover a future through Muay Thai.

This is the world we come from.

This is the world we continue to build.Rooted in real Muay Thai.
Carried forward through training, legacy, responsibility, and life beyond the gym.
