Shop our range of authentic Muay Thai gloves from leading Thai brands including Fairtex, Twins Special, Top King and Windy.
Whether you need lighter gloves for pads and bag work, an all-round training pair or well-padded gloves for sparring, our collection covers a wide range of styles, weights and designs.
A good pair of Muay Thai boxing gloves should protect your hands, provide enough wrist support and feel comfortable across the different parts of Thai boxing training.
Unlike gloves designed purely around western boxing, Thai-style gloves need to work across pad rounds, heavy bag training, partner drills and sparring.
At Nak Muay Training, we stock authentic gloves from established Muay Thai brands in Thailand, with options for beginners through to experienced fighters.
There's no single best glove for everybody.
Different brands have different fits, padding and wrist designs, so your choice should depend on how you train and what feels right on your hands.
Fairtex gloves are a popular option for fighters who prefer a relatively compact fit and a wide choice of different training models.
The range includes the classic BGV1 alongside more specialised boxing, lace-up and training gloves.
Twins Special gloves are known for generous padding and a traditional Thai-style construction.
They're particularly popular for general training and sparring, with the classic BGVL3 being a straightforward all-round option.

Top King is another established Thai equipment brand producing well-padded gloves for Muay Thai training.
They're worth considering if you want a traditional Thai glove with plenty of protection for regular gym use.
Windy has longstanding roots in Thai combat sports and produces traditional training gloves for Muay Thai and boxing.
Thaismai is a longstanding Thai combat sports brand producing traditional equipment for Muay Thai and boxing.
Their gloves are a good option for fighters looking for authentic Thai-made training equipment with a more traditional feel, and can be used across pad work, bag work and general Muay Thai training depending on the model and weight.
Glove weight depends mainly on how you're going to use them.
As a simple guide:
These aren't universal rules.
If you're buying gloves specifically for sparring, ask your coach what your gym requires before ordering.
For beginners who only want one pair, a 14oz or 16oz training glove can be a versatile starting point depending on your size and gym rules.
For sparring, we'd prioritise padding and protection over having the lightest glove possible.
Many gyms require 16oz gloves for adult sparring, although this varies depending on the fighter and gym.
If you're training regularly, it's worth eventually having a separate pair of sparring gloves rather than using the same gloves for everything.
Repeated heavy bag work gradually compresses padding. That's fine on the bag, but less helpful for the person you're sparring.
For pads and heavy bag training, many fighters prefer something lighter.
10oz and 12oz gloves are common choices because they feel quicker and allow you to work combinations without the additional weight of a heavier sparring glove.
You don't need separate gloves when you're starting out, though.
Build your equipment around your training as you progress rather than buying five pairs of gloves on day one.
We specialise in Muay Thai equipment and stock gloves from established brands including Fairtex, Twins Special, Top King and Windy.
Each brand has its own fit and feel.
Rather than choosing purely by logo or colour, consider what you'll use the gloves for, the level of padding you prefer and whether you want velcro or lace-up wrist support.
If you're unsure, keep it simple. Pick a dependable all-round training glove in the appropriate weight and get on with training.
There isn't one glove that's best for everybody. Fairtex, Twins Special, Top King and Windy all produce good Muay Thai gloves with differences in fit, padding and wrist support. Choose based on how you train and the fit you prefer.
10oz or 12oz gloves are commonly used for pads and bag work, while 16oz is commonly required for adult sparring. 14oz can work for general training or lighter sparring where permitted. Always check your gym's requirements.
There can be differences in shape, padding distribution and wrist construction. Traditional Muay Thai gloves are designed around the wider demands of Thai boxing training, although many modern gloves work well across both Muay Thai and western boxing.
Yes, particularly as a beginner. A suitable 14oz or 16oz glove can cover a lot of general training depending on your size and gym rules. As you train more frequently, separate bag and sparring gloves can become worthwhile.
