Muay Thai Boxing

In Thailand, Muay Thai is best known as a traditional combat sport. At Siam Rehab, it is approached differently.

For some clients, basic Muay Thai movements are offered as a light, supervised physical activity that fits into the daily schedule. It is not treated as training or competition. There is no fighting, no sparring, and no expectation to perform or improve skills.

Sessions focus on simple, repeatable movements rather than intensity. The emphasis is on coordination and being physically present, not on strength or endurance. Everything is kept calm, predictable, and guided by staff.

Participation is always optional. Some clients choose to take part, while others prefer different activities or none at all. Muay Thai is simply one of several physical activity options available during residential care.

Muay Thai activities at Siam Rehab are guided by Coach Deang (Tanes Ongjunta), a local Muay Thai instructor with professional experience in the sport.

Within the residential program, his role is focused on supervision, safety, and adaptation rather than athletic training. Sessions are kept calm and non-competitive, with clear boundaries and no contact fighting or sparring.

For clients who choose to participate, activities are limited to basic movements and simple drills.There are no performance expectations, no physical goals, and no pressure to push beyond personal comfort.

Participation is always optional, and sessions can be modified, paused, or skipped entirely depending on individual needs and readiness.
