Contents
In brief
- What a plan covers depends on the camp: Fairtex states nights and sessions, others do not.
- For a week with lodging, Khongsittha is published lower than Fairtex, but the contents differ.
- No published plan includes the visa; only Diamond explicitly announces stays with meals.
What the word really covers
Three levels exist, from simplest to most complete. None is a standard: read the camp’s page.
- Training + room: Fairtex (Pattaya) and Khongsittha (Bangkok) publish stays of this type.
- Training + room + meals: Diamond (Koh Phangan) offers stays with lodging and meals but its amounts were not recorded.
- Premium plan: Koh Fight (Koh Samui) lists all-inclusive weekly plans.

Who it pays off for
- You are arriving in Thailand for the first time and want one booking: all-inclusive saves you searching for lodging.
- You come for one to two weeks: Fairtex and Khongsittha publish short stays.
- You are two: Fairtex publishes a two-person rate, which you can compare with two single rates.
- Less worthwhile if you stay several months: compare with training-only rates and lodging you pick yourself (see the prices page).
The 6 questions to ask before paying
Ask them in writing and keep the answers: they are worth more than an online review.
- Are your prices published, and what do they include (classes, lodging, VAT)?
- How many students per trainer on the pads?
- Is there a separate beginners’ group?
- Is sparring compulsory, and from when?
- Do you issue the confirmation for the DTV visa, and in what form?
- What happens if I leave early (written refund policy)?

Frequently asked questions
What is included in an all-inclusive plan?
It depends on the camp. Fairtex states the nights and sessions; Khongsittha the lodging; Diamond lodging and meals. Use the checklist on this page.
Which all-inclusive camp is cheapest?
For a week with lodging, Khongsittha (7 nights, 13,300 ฿) is published lower than Fairtex (1 week, 16,000 ฿), but contents differ: Fairtex states 10 sessions.
Is the visa included?
No published plan says so. The DTV visa costs 10,000 ฿; ask the camp for a participation confirmation.
Are meals included?
Only Diamond explicitly lists stays with lodging and meals. For the others, ask what the plan covers.
