THE WOR AURACHA GYM, A 5-STAR BOXING CAMP

Opened in 2020, Wor Auracha Gym is a gym located in the eastern suburbs of Bangkok, in the Prawet district. It is close to the vast Suan Luang Rama IX Park and just 3 kilometers from Suvarnabhumi Airport, offering an ideal setting combining accessibility and tranquility.
Mr. Auracha Wongtien, owner of Wor Auracha Gym, founded his own gym in 2020. Prior to that, he was a partner for several years with the owner of the MTM Academy boxing gym.
The majority of Wor Auracha Gym’s Thai fighters come from the Isaan region (Northeast), a land renowned for its future champions. Mr. Auracha Wongtien himself recruited his boxers from a young age.
Today, around ten professional fighters train at Wor Auracha Gym, under the supervision of four coaches: Pornmongkon, Sakhiranchai, Pakorn, and Anan.
Wor Auracha Gym’s prodigy is Petchsila Wor Auracha. Originally from Udon Thani, he arrived with Mr. Auracha Wongtien around the age of 14 and is now 21.
In 2019, he distinguished himself by winning his first belt, the True4U title in 108 lbs at the Rangsit Stadium. That same year, he also won the WPMF World Champion belt in 108 lbs.
In 2021, he won the True4U belt again at 115 lbs, before winning the WMO World Championship title at 122 lbs in 2022.
On September 4, 2023, at the Lam Luk Ka Air Force Boxing Stadium in Pathum Thani, Petchsila defeated Chatploy Por Homklin to capture the Thai Championship title at 122 lbs!
His remarkable talent earned him the title of “Best Young Hopeful Boxer of the Year” in 2021 by the prestigious “The Sports Writers Association of Thailand.”
Petchsila’s older brother, Nuasila Wor Auracha, and younger brother, Lerdsila Wor Auracha, are also formidable fighters.
The camp is also home to several other promising boxers, including Chaytone Wor Auracha, M16 Wor Auracha, Siafew Wor Auracha (Pechsila’s cousin), and Notmai Wor Auracha, gold medalist at the 2021 World Amateur Championships.
The other great champion of Wor Auracha Gym is Kachasit Thasaeyasat, a 28-year-old boxer from the Surin region.
On January 20, 2025, he brilliantly won the WMO 115 lbs world championship belt in a fight held in Chumphon province.
With Wor Auracha Gym, he had already won the Omnoi stadium belt in July 2024.
Before joining the camp, he fought under the name Yokthong Pinsinchai and represented the renowned Pinsinchai Gym, with which he won the Radja stadium belt in 2017. However, after this victory, a series of defeats and a period of self-doubt slowed his progress.
Since training at Wor Auracha Gym, Kachasit has returned to the top. He remains on a run of six consecutive victories, including a spectacular knockout over Detpichai Mawinandaman at ONE Lumpinee, and has captured two major belts!
The Wor Auracha Gym welcomes many foreign fighters, attracted by its modern facilities and the quality of its coaching.
Several champions have already represented the camp, including Italy’s Michael Garrafo and young Englishman Jayden Gill.
Currently, Frenchman Marvin Caperan (12 fights in Thailand, 8 wins, 5 losses) is representing Wor Auracha Gym. A member of the RWS circuit at Radja Stadium, he has also fought at Lumpinee Stadium and for major promotions such as SuperChamp, Fairtex Fight, RajaKnockout, and Max Muay Thai in Pattaya.
In 2022, Wor Auracha Gym was awarded the honorary title of “5-Star Boxing Camp,” an official distinction awarded by the Sports Authority of Thailand and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. This recognition further strengthens the camp’s reputation, which continues to train and attract the future rising stars of Muay Thai!
