hi everyone, been training muaythai for about 8months and was going to save to go to thailand next year but sum good news yesterday my partner won a trip for us there so we have a year to use it wos thinking of going in march if its not to hot then, but anyway after the sightseeing we are going to stay somewhere in koh samui what are some good camps to try ive read up on wmc,pinyo,superbro but id like some thoughts if anyone has them, id rather have one were they speak sum english and cater for the newbies and spend time with them,
any info would be really good, thanks

wmc would be your English friendly gym.... and you get to meet some of the superstars at the same time ;)

WMC is ok...too many people though somestime as can get crowded. i spend a bit of time in Samui in the past, trained at Pinyo (liked in alot), good guys there, all thai trainers but speak good english and train hard, Also superpro i had a go at for a bit too and were also pretty good. depends where you're staying..wmc and pinyo (new pinyo gym there is awesome) are in Lamai and Superpro is in Chaweng .

WMC Lamai, as mentioned it does get crowded, but the quality of trainers is very high.Depending on your budget, get private lessons if you want to get the most out of it.(in between the morning and afternoon sessions)

Thanks guys, going to work hard on fitness now so I can last a session and the heat

Yeah, for Koh Samui training WMC Lamai is fine (provided you don't overindulge in island drinking).

1 on 1s with Nokweed are worth the cash too if you can afford it. So many sweet tricks in that guys arsenal.

The training isn't that intense (or wasn't when I was there many moons ago) compared to your Bangkok gyms, but some decent base fitness is good to make sure you get the most out of it.

Pinyo is ur best bet..You will get more for ur money there as there isnt as many people.More one on one time with the trainers..WMC is ok but it can get too crowded..
