Fairtex History
History: FAIRTEX HAS BEEN DELIVERING PUNCHES, KICKS, KNEES, ELBOWS AND SWEEPS SINCE 1971.
Fairtex was founded by Philip Wong, who practiced Muay Thai as a hobby. Fairtex became the #1 brand in Thailand and Mr. Wong wanted to give back to the Thailand community. This was realized when a Fairtex Muay Thai camp in rural Bangplee, 25km outside of Bangkok, was built. Fairtex was able to help young Thai men stay off the streets, stay off drugs and build a life through Muay Thai. Many of the innovations found in Fairtex’s products are a result of testing products for decades in the Bangplee camp.
CREATING WORLD CHAMPIONS
As the Fairtex camp began producing champion fighters, Mr. Wong became a Lumpinee Boxing Stadium Promoter. Many people do not know that Mr. Wong helped bring international fighters to Lumpinee. Such fighters included Don the Dragon Wilson, Ramon Decker, Ivan Hippolyte, and Jongsanan “The Wooden man” Fairtex.
BRINGING MUAY THAI TO THE WORLD
Fairtex Bangplee Muay Thai Camp was one of the first camps in Thailand to allow foreigners and women to train Muay Thai. Mr. Wong was not satisfied with only having Muay Thai in Thailand, he wanted to bring Muay Thai to the USA. Mr. Wong established Muay Thai camps in Arizona and California in the 1990’s. Today Fairtex products can be found throughout the world and are regarded as the best products on the market.
