Muay Thai Shorts That Look the Part Without the Big Price Tag

These red polyester silk Muay Thai shorts give you the classic Thai boxing look — bold red with yellow stars on wide black side trim and authentic Thai lettering — at a price that won’t hurt. At $28.75 AUD, they’re a solid option if you’re just starting out, training on a budget, or want a second pair to rotate through your wash cycle.

They’re not a premium competition short, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. But for regular bag work, pad sessions, and gym training, they do the job well.

Why the Fabric Matters

The shorts are made from polyester silk — a lightweight synthetic that’s become the standard for Muay Thai and kickboxing shorts. Here’s why that’s a good thing for training:

• It’s light. You don’t want heavy fabric slapping against your legs when you’re throwing high kicks or knee strikes. Less weight means less drag.
• It breathes reasonably well. Polyester silk moves air better than heavier fabrics, which matters when you’re working hard in a warm gym.
• It dries quickly. After a sweaty session, hang them up and they’ll be dry in no time.

It’s not the same as the heavier satin used on higher-end Thai shorts, but for training purposes, it performs well and feels comfortable against the skin.

The Waistband — Getting the Fit Right

The waistband is 10cm wide with elastic and an internal drawstring. That combination matters. The elastic gives you a consistent base fit so the shorts sit properly, and the drawstring lets you dial in exactly how snug you want them.

If you’ve ever worn shorts that drop during a sparring session or slide down when you’re on the clinch, you know why a secure waistband is essential. These won’t slip around on you. Tie the drawstring properly before you train and they’ll stay put.

The Design

The design is distinctly Thai — red base, yellow stars on the wide black side panels, and Thai script lettering. The wide side panels are characteristic of Muay Thai shorts and they serve a practical purpose: they allow a full range of hip movement for high kicks and teeps without the fabric pulling tight across your thighs.

If you like a more traditional look and want shorts that look at home in a Muay Thai gym, these fit the bill.

What These Shorts Are Good For

These shorts work well for:

• Muay Thai training — bag work, pads, technique drills
• Kickboxing training
• MMA striking sessions
• Gym workouts, CrossFit, and fitness training
• Casual wear

What These Shorts Are NOT Good For

Be honest with yourself here. If you’re competing at a serious level, you’ll want a heavier, more structured competition short with better finishing. These are training shorts priced as training shorts. They’re also only available in M and L, so if you’re outside that range, check our other shorts options.

They’re also not designed for grappling or BJJ — the fabric isn’t built for that kind of friction on the mat.

Sizing Guide

These shorts are available in M (Medium) and L (Large) only. Use the size chart below to find your fit. Muay Thai shorts generally run a touch smaller than Western sportswear, so if you’re between sizes, go up.

The elasticated waistband gives you some flexibility, but don’t rely on it to compensate for a size that’s genuinely too small — you want comfort across the full range of movement.

• M (Medium) — Product Code: CLKBS-M
• L (Large) — Product Code: CLKBS-L
• Price is the same for all sizes: AUD $28.75

Care Instructions

To keep these shorts in good shape:

• Machine wash cold with mild detergent
• No bleach
• Air dry — hang them up rather than using a dryer
• Avoid direct sunlight when drying to protect the colour
• Iron on low heat only if needed — polyester silk doesn’t love high heat

Wash them after every training session. Sweat degrades fabric faster than washing does, so don’t skip it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shorts suitable for beginners?

Yes — they’re a good starting short for someone new to Muay Thai or kickboxing. The price is low enough that you won’t feel bad if you end up wanting something different after a few months, and the quality is solid enough to last through regular training.

What’s the difference between polyester silk and satin Muay Thai shorts?

Polyester silk is lighter and thinner than the satin used in premium Thai shorts. Satin shorts have more structure and a heavier, smoother feel — they tend to hold their shape better over time. For regular training, polyester silk performs well and is more affordable. Satin is worth considering if you’re competing or want shorts that last for years of hard use.

Can I use these for sparring?

Yes, they’re fine for sparring. The wide side panels give you the movement you need. Just make sure you’re also wearing appropriate shin guards and protective gear.

Only M and L are available — what if I need a smaller or larger size?

These shorts only come in M and L. Check the size chart carefully before ordering. If neither size suits you, have a look at our other Muay Thai and kickboxing shorts — we stock a wider range of styles with more size options.

Do these shorts have pockets?

No. Traditional Muay Thai shorts don’t have pockets — the design priority is freedom of movement. If you need pockets, our MMA or CrossFit shorts are a better option.

How long will they last with regular training?

With proper care — cold wash, air dry — you should get 12–18 months of regular training out of these before the fabric starts to show significant wear. They’re fairly priced, so when they do wear out, replacing them won’t hurt the budget.
