Bangkok
Best Gym in Bangkok
Bangkok's gym scene splits into three tiers: international chains in malls and offices, polished local boutiques, and old-school Muay Thai camps. Day passes are widely available and most decent gyms have full air-con — non-negotiable in the heat.

Tips
- Phrom Phong alone covers three tiers here — Fitness First and Virgin Active for premium chain equipment, FitJunctions for a cheaper independent alternative at 500 baht a day.
- Rocket Muay Thai runs group classes at 7 AM and 5:30 PM daily, bookending the day's heat rather than sitting in the middle of it.
- Khongsittha is out in Ramintra on the eastern edge of the city, so budget taxi time on top of the 500-baht drop-in fee.
- Virgin Active and Fitness First both want a passport for a day pass — bring the physical document rather than a photo of one.
- Base Bangkok's classes need reserving through its app rather than a walk-in, unlike the straightforward day-pass gyms on this list.
