Sam joined Bangarang in 2015 after running her own bootcamp. In a move she didn’t even tell her family about, she took a leap of faith and became part of the Bangarang team.
A true jack-of-all-trades, Sam helps in many areas in the day-to-day operations. Having lived in several countries, she now splits her time between Germany, Australia, and Thailand.
What Sam loves most about Bangarang is the supportive community that has grown over the years and the friendships created through training together.
P’Tom has been involved in the Muay Thai industry for more than 30 years alongside her partner, P’Teep, one of Thailand’s Muay Thai legends. Together, they have witnessed the evolution of the sport from traditional Bangkok stadiums to the international growth of Muay Thai we see today.
While P’Teep takes a more behind-the-scenes role as a silent partner and advisor. Having spent most of her life immersed in the Muay Thai world, she brings a wealth of business experience, industry knowledge, and valuable insight gained from decades in the sport.
P’Teep is one of the legends of Muay Thai, with a career that earned him respect throughout Thailand and beyond. Fighting under the names Saentep Muanpharot and Pinpetch Sor. Kanokrat, he competed during an era widely regarded as the golden age of Muay Thai.
Having dedicated most of his life to Muay Thai, P’Teep’s knowledge extends far beyond the ring. He prefers to stay behind the scenes these days.
As the partner of P’Tom, P’Teep has been involved in the Muay Thai industry for decades and is highly respected within the Thai Muay Thai community.
