training in thailand

[jank]

I recently done some training at the wmc camp.... although it was hard...when i came home i found it really easy to spar guys that i thought i could never beat before....what are the best places to train in thailand ...... anyone have any fav's they would like to tell me about...

jank

[Gnar_kill]

Im interested in going over, can you give me any ideas on how much i would need to stay at a camp. I wouldnt be there to sight see, just train for a 2 - 4 weeks.

hey Ganr_kill , you dont need much at all, depending on what type of room you are after, it can be as little as 400 bucks for the month plus flights. This is why i asked the question, since i got back i have heard that it can be even cheaper.
But i must say that the Koh samui wmc camp rocks, everyone helps alot and you are treated like your one of the family.
Plus you will get better very quick.

[Gnar_kill]

Hey jank, can you give me a run down of your trip, like what the cabins were like, how much your whole trip cost and how long u went for?

[Commando]

Hey jank,

i myself am also interested in going to train in thailand for about 4- 6 weeks, for my annual leave from work. could u provide some sort of run down of your training routine, and ur stay.

The big issue for me is that my mrs is coming, and you know women, they need to be comfortable. as far as im concerned i could sleep in a tent, but she needs, a comfortable bed, shower etc? does wmc have those facilities?

One of the places i have heard alot about is Muay Thai camp in Phuket.

Hey all

I'm currently in Thailand. Training at Rompo Gym in Bangkok. As far as training goes, it ain't much chop but it is in the carpark of an OK hotel (ROMPO MANSION), so that might make you MRS happy.

In Samui, if you want to hget some great 1on1 training with a couple of really smart trainers, go to MA-AIR GYM in Chaweng. Head trainer Ma-Air and #1 fighter Spicy. Spicy fought TS2 in Adelaide. Training is not overly hard but it is great for technique. Ask a taxi driver to drive down the road with Lake View Resort and look for the sign.

In Patong(Phuket) there is a good gym called Patong Boxing Gym. The owner Miss Bow will take awesome care of you and the trainers are skilled. The gym is clean and has all new equipement. It is in Soi
Keb-sup, Patong Beach.

If you go to either of the last 2places, just tell them Pinky from Aus told you about them. Train hard and most of all HAVE FUN!!

MUAY THAI NEVA DIES!!!

[jank]

Gnar_kill and cammando i went there at the end of last year for a month.Getting down there is sweet you arrange this all with the travelagent, thats to koh samui.When i got there i have to say that it far different to anything i had seen, since i had never been out of this country before, but i was supprise with how clean everything in samui is. At first i had a fan cooled room booked to save money as i had no idea how much it was going to cost me to be there for a month but after two days i moved to very nice room on camp that only cost $400 with the training, right next to the gym.They have cleaners that clean the rooms all the time and the rooms had air con and hot water, a dunny and pay tv free(great to what the fights on the weekend).
Koh samui is very clean, the traing is twice a day with some very good trainers of which a few still fight so you see them traing for fights, very cool, 2 hours each time and a brake on sunday which you will need.The other thing is that people from all over the world go there and you make heaps of new mates that you punch on with at training.

Pinkbits,thanks for the heads up on the gym in chawang mate, might go and cheack it out when i go back.

i was at lanna (kiat busaba) in chiang mai for 6 months... has 9 or so trainers, some up-and-coming thai fighters, as well as 2 current northern champions, plus a few foreigners who're there to fight (with about 30 fights or more... - Daniel Kerr, who knocked out DDD last year, lives and trains there).

There's also a bunch of fairly useless beginner tourists, especially during tourist high season (november to april).

In short, if you've had a few fights in Australia, and want to learn more, it's a good enough place to go...

ANYWAY, my room next to the gym cost $26 a month (shared thai toilet, shared cold shower - room contained just a bed, supply your own sheets etc). But sometimes the landlady gave me liver and blood soup, so that's a bonus. You could find a more luxurious room in the bourgeois guest houses - $80 a month, more for TV/DVD or fridge... but why would you, unless you're staying for just a short time...

A meal at nearby roadside eateries cost 66c - $2, though as you're training 7 hours a day, you need to eat several.

Gym fees vary based upon the amount of time you stay there. They're the most expensive thing, for the first few months. I think it was $200 for the first month...

Other than that, it's just living fees, which vary - maybe you'll rent a motorbike or scooter, for $66 a month or so, or buy one if you're staying longer; used 150cc NSRs for about $300 or so...

PS (by the way, these calculations are based on $1AUS = 30 baht. if that changes, prices will vary)

PPS The North of Thailand is MUCH cheaper than the south.

PPPS sorry, this was a bit long, hope it helped...

[Christo]

KL: how did you find your time in thailand?
6 months must have been fairly intense, do you feel it helped a lot in your development? did you notice a big difference in fitness/skill after living on the thai diet and training regime?
any reason you chose to train in chiang-mai over bangkok? is chiang-mai more relaxed than bkk? Cheers for the insight mate, would appreciate hearing about your experiences.

on another note has anyone had any experience at the muay thai institute:

phuket is a good place to train.....of coarse rawai is a good choice but i trained at a gym in patong...dont remember the name but if you know patong well its in soi kep-sup oppisite the beach...went there a year and a half ago and the gym was practically brand new and very friendly staff...i even got the thai massage in between pad rounds by the pad holder...the gyms owner or manager is a lady by the name of Bow.if you are keen and good enough to fight the new stadiums are just 5-10 mins away.i just went for a holiday and to train and there was no pressure to fight..its all up 2 you...hope this bit of info helps you a bit

[PINKBITS]

phuket soi easy- That gym is Patong Boxing Gym

Bow's Ph-+6617589290

Check my last post, little write up on the place.
PS. Trained there very recently and the place still looks brand new!!

MUAY THAI NEVA DIES!!!

[phuket soi easy]

great to hear that pinkbits......how is Bow going?did she ask you if you wanted a tatoo? her tatoo shop is right next to the gym!!!! i will read your write up as i like to hear stories about other peoples training adventures...and yes that was the name..i just wasnt sure...but its a gym i highly recommend

[phuket soi easy]

just read your post pinkbits...i should learn to read all post before i post mine...yeah you did mention it.

[Lek]

Just return from Thailand, been there for 6 months training and travelling around, was at the WMC camp in May and then travelled to Phuket must have miss pinkbits at both loctions but everybody was impressed by his committment and strength of character. Also missed his fight in Phuket but hope to see him fight at the next show in Adelaide against a worthy opponent preferbly from overseas(Thailand) to prove his Title win in Thialand was geninue.
This would be big draw card to show, see you there.

[FGTC]

Lek, you are right about PINKBITS. Not only that he is committed, he is a cutie as well

[KL]

um, christo - chose chiang mai just as somewhere to begin, was going to travel to a bunch of different gyms. but realised when I got to thailand that just staying for a short time at lots of gyms isn't conducive to learning (same as australia - would your own gym teach as much on someone's first day as when they'd been coming regularly?).

Anyway, Chiang Mai is small - 300 000 people, not too polluted or crowded (even so, you still see absolute idiocy on the roads - uturns and driving the wrong way on freeways etc.).

There's 3 main gyms there that cater to falangs (us foreigners), but still train thais to fight, at a relatively high level. Figure that without any thai language skills, and whilst you adapt to the thai training style, they're a good place to start. If you set the world on fire with your skillz, you can prolly find a more exclusive gym.

But even so, these gyms that are about half foreign-half thai (lanna, siam no 1, chai yai) have a bunch of very experienced/very talented trainers - enough to teach you a bunch.

...

With a town like Chiang Mai, if ever you get homesick or whatever, there's shops/restaurants/facilities that cater to the suitably sizeable nouveau riche and western expatriate community. For example if you get sick of rice, there's a few bakeries to get bread and other western staples (or junk food or whatever). Or Sushi restaurants. Or Chinese. etcetera.

...

Because I live in sydney, and mainly train with regular boxers and a few kickboxers, I learnt HEAPS about knees and clinching that I could never have learnt here.

If you're a big guy ie 80kg+, there won't be many people for you to fight over there - a few good fighters, a few retired fighters who've become fat etc. Anyway, if you're 90kg or over, it's very hard to fight - not because people won't fight you for 1000 baht (they pay more down south), but because you'll feel like an idiot punching a bloke who's 20kg lighter and a foot shorter than you.

That's the main thing I found with fighting over there - you recognise that you don't NEED to fight to live - if things got really bad, you could teach English for 200 baht a day or something. But for these guys, 1000 baht ($33) was the equivalent of 2 weeks' pay, and they were going to jump in with you and get knocked out for it. You feel like a colonial master, taking advantage of others' lack of opportunities, or something. It can be pretty awkward.

That said, apparently they've bigger blokes down south. And "when you're good enough, you'll get fights down there." I wouldn't know.

If you're smaller than 70kg for men, 60kg for women, even better if you're even lighter, go to Thailand. Train. Fight. It's awesome.

If you're a big bloke (I'm 88kg, there ARE bigger blokes who fight the 75kg thais in Chiang Mai, but it's pretty demeaning - sometimes, the big falang get matched to fight with each other, which is better)

Sorry, another long message. Again, just to be clear, this was only about Chiang Mai - I didn't see any other gyms, didn't really travel at all. Situation probably different elsewhere.

[Christo]

KL: mate i appreciate your reply, thanks for sharing your experiences it is helpful!

I have no ambition in fighting in front of a crowd at all, my reason for wanting to go to Thailand is purely because my Mrs and I are sick of the daily grind in Aus and are keen to take a year or so off and go live in Thailand. We have only done the tourist jazz over there, and absolutely loved it. Spent a couple of weeks in Bangkok, and it was an unreal experience, a totally different way of life. My reason for wanting to train over there is that if I dont have to work 40 hours a week working, I can think of no better way to spend time improving my health, fitness, and skill (for personal enjoyment rather than competition).
Obviously we will need to suss out where to live over there, which is why I was interested in your experience in chiang mi.
Again, thanks for your time in posting, it is appreciated.

[KL]

Christo:

Yeah, sorry mate, some information about lifestyle, instead of fighting, coming up:

If you want to train casually, even if you're there every day, probably not that many exclusively Thai gyms would take you.

However, there were people I met at Lanna who did exactly what you have in mind - and I'm pretty sure there were similar people at Chai Yai. One German dude moved into a $133 per month serviced apartment with his wife for about 9 months - he'd had about 25 fights, she didn't train.

She liked to go to the nearby Olympic Pool (usually deserted) and do laps when he was training. There were a few other female boxers who she became friends with, apparently she liked that she had female companionship if she ever needed it. She also had a pet dog; she seemed pretty happy.

If you want to stay for a longish time, you can get houses nearish to the gym for 3000 - 5000 baht a month - met 3 falang with houses. Houses have either 6 month or 1 year minimums to rent, as far as i could tell.

I dunno the level of luxury that you and the missus would like, but for $130 a month you can rent a 2 bedroom house with kitchen, hot shower, western toilet etc. There's some nice ones up in the jungle, or others closer to the city. Even so, it's not a big place - from the edge of the jungle it might take 20mins by scooter to town (again, you'd have to consider whether the missus and yourself were fine with getting a bike, and if not, choose a house location accordingly). If you're staying a long time, you'd probably want to buy a scooter - a 110-125cc one, or something, then sell it when you leave.

But even from Lanna, at most 2km from the jungle, it was only a short walk to a road where you could catch a public bus, or a songtao or tuktuk. So you don't NEED a bike.

Cheapest apartment twin rooms to rent were 1300 baht - they're all around, and have cold shower/thai toilet. A lot of Thai couples live like this.

If you were only going to stay in Chiang Mai a couple of months then travel elsewhere, you'd probably just want to stay in a guesthouse - 2500 - 7000 baht a month, depending on luxury.

Again, as I said, in Chiang Mai you can live as Thai or as Western/Expatriate as you want - it's very developed in pockets and undeveloped in others. If you really wanted, you could shop at the supermarket, buying all Western food, cook it at home, go out to places that cater to Westerners, whatever - or, you could shop locally at the markets, or not cook at all (many Thais don't), eating 60c meals at the roadside eateries, talk to the local Thais.

Chiang Mai's cost of living is extremely cheap. If you're employed there, the wages are lower than most the rest of Thailand (but higher than Ubon province), but if you've saved some money over here, it will go further if you live in the north than in the south.

Chiang Mai is about 4 hours from Maesai, where you travel to renew your visa - I had to do it every 30 days... If you don't have a year visa (which you have to renew every 90 days), you are going to have to do regular visa runs. You would want to live somewhere that's not too far from a border - and the Myanmar one is the cheapest (250 baht or $5US, I think it was, to get your visa renewed... +you can buy pirate DVDs etc over the border far cheaper than Thailand), as far as I know. Met a guy who'd lived in Koh Pangan, who had to travel 12 hours to do visa runs, or something.

Also, Chiang Mai has AWESOME festivals, SongKran (water festival) and Loi Kraton (Light festival) - they last 12 days, and are a huge party - Loi Kraton especially is incredible, with 100000 people by the river releasing hot air balloons, lighting fireworks, drinking etc.

Sorry for long post, probably be my last on the matter. Hope it was helpful - I went to Thailand to live, having done little research, NO planning, and was just extremely lucky to end up in Chiang Mai. Other places worth looking at might be Pai (nice scenery, laid back life, but the town's full of western hippies), or other Northern Towns like Chiang Rai, or somewhere in Ubon province (the least developed province - very cool).

Good luck, whatever you do.

mate i appreciate your time, very helpful.

When you like to train in Thailand and want to come to Pattaya.
Come have a look at Sitpholek. Here you can train with
Wanlop Sitpholek 71-74 kilo, Leonard Sitpholek 76-82 kilo,
Changpuek Kiatsonglit 78 kilo and many more Thais. For more information contact me at sitpholek@hotmail.com or visit http://www.sitpholek.com

Training in Thailand is OK if you are there for training. But if you are there for other things then you better watch your wallet. I heard that one of our posters who was in Thailand had his credit card stolen from his hotel room by his "Girl friend". It seems that the hotel won't let him leave until he paid up!!!!! Ask your hero FGTC

[Christo]

the issues i hear about with people losing money in thailand inevitably involve deluded people getting involved with hookers thinking they are going to be good people deep inside.

[Hooky]

No matter where you travel in the world, there is always a risk of losing your valuables. Wallet, watch, passport etc. Always be consciuous of your belongings!!! I just spent 4 weeks at Phuket Muay Thai, down south Between Kata beach and Chalong - Phuket. The guys there are really good, high trainer to student ratio. Their english is not the best but understandable in regards to training instructions. They provide good, clean accommodation for a reasonable price on site at the gym. For anyone who hasn't been to phuket it is an amazing place. There is plenty of activities to keep you busy on the weekends or when you're not training. Food is cheap. Scooter hire is cheap and better than rip-off tuk tuk drivers. The head trainer of phuket muay thai is Chopchai, who has had an incredible Muay Thai and WBC Boxing career and has trained Wanderlai Silva amongst others. By the sounds of it Phuket seems more expensive than North Thailand(i've only trained at phuket) but i believe it was well and truly worth it.

I'm teaching at a rural highschool in Isaan (voluntary, but in return for teaching I live with a Thai family and they feed me all my meals), and I've just started training after school. The facilities are very basic (they just hang some heavy bags up in the school "cafeteria") but the trainers, despite not being able to speak English, are really good at explaining through actions little technique issues, and one of the boys is going to Bangkok to fight at Lumpini this weekend. Apparently I'm the first girl that's ever trained there, but I wasn't made to feel uncomfortable at all - quite the opposite.

So basically right now I'm training for free, but in two weeks I'm planning on going to live at SitNungUbon in Ubon Ratchathani, so I'll see how that goes. Have any of you guys been there before?

Thanks Dutts, will do. I've been offered to stay here longer and keep training, so I'm still working out what I'm going to do, but a holiday to BKK will be in order at some point - if you come up Isaan way (I'm in the Sisaket province), let me know too :)

Hi Shelly, sounds like a good time. How long do you plan to stay over there? Do you think you might get the chance to fight?
Enjoy yourself
Regards Sharon

[samtfan]

I am wondering why PINKBITS suggested people to train at MA-Air's gym in CHAWENG and not the WMC Camp? I Know MA-AIR'r and Spicy very well. In fact I have know them for over 10 years. Very good friends but no disrespect, a good trainer, I very much doubt it. The gym is OK but its too friendly and you end up spending more time talking than training. I know the WMC camp can be very busy but they are only interested in training people who actually wants to train not talk about training. Hey Pinkbits, you spent a lot of time at the WMC Camp, so why didn't you train there. Is it because you like to talk about training instead of training.

[BMT]

Cmon samtfan. I think spicys fight against Aaron Leigh in Adelaide should be indication of how good the gym would be. If you are similar weight to pinkbits maybe you could fight him to prove your point. Or maybe someone from your gym?

[Lothene]

Hi Sharon!

I'm planning on staying here for a year (been here one and a half months so far), but at the moment it's a bit up in the air as to exactly where I'll be staying when.

When I first arrived in PrangKu I asked if there were any gyms and was told no. Then some trainers started training a group of boys from the school for a Muay Thai comp, and I was allowed to join in with training. Then I found out that the head trainer had a gym nearby. Because the school Muay Thai competition is next weekend, I was told there'd be no more training at school after that. I had planned to leave and train in Ubon when that happened, but on Friday two of the trainers stood and watched me for ages while I was kicking the bag, then the head trainer yelled out "You! Fight 12 August", and it seems I can start training at his gym now.

From what I can gather the gym fees are 2,000 baht a month ($75), but I think the teacher I'm staying with is going to see if the school will contribute to my training costs seeing as I've been teaching 15-20 hours a week for free.

Everyone's pretty vague about things here so it's hard to know what's going on, but hopefully I'll know the full story this week!

[samtfan]

Hey BMT, there are things you don't know that I know. Its gets to me when someone talks so much about fights they have in Thailand and "TITLES" they won in Thailand won't put their ego on the line and fight someone credible in Adelaide. Pinkbits was suppose to have a fight at Lumpini Stadium, if that was true then he should have no problems fighting Gary of Axis. Whats wrong with these people. Getting on the net and making a big HO HA about exploits in Thailand and even fighting at Lumpini wouldn't fight a young lad with 2 fights. Fighting at Lumpini requires a bit of skill don't you think???? Or maybe it was just bulls&*^ to raise his profile. He can't get a profile any other way!!!!

As for fighting Pinkbits, I would if I was young enough. But I am realistic. My age just doesn't allow me to get to a fighting fit condition.

Spicy is no slouch. I know that, but that doesn't make him a good trainer.

I know that I shouldn't rubbish fighters but as you and many people would know, there are fighters and there are real fighters. Fighters are those that put their money where their mouth is, like Paul Slowinski. He fights anyone anytime. Would Pinkbits do that????? Not many will so if you are not prepared to do that then shut up and work your way to a point when you deserve the recognition.

hey samtfan

i dont think it is a good idea to come on here and bag pinkbits or in fact any other fighter or trainer. If you have something to say to him why dont you discuss it with him face to face

[samtfan]

Yeah you are right Barry. I'll talk to him the next time I see him. Actually I think its OK to bag people as long as we know what we are talking about. The last time I look this was a forum where people like me who is passionate about Muay Thai comes in to say our piece. And its a free country by the way......People can bag me as much as they like so go for it.

samtfan/other negative forum members

It may be a free country, and this is a forum where passionate people discuss/read about THEIR sport, but who has the right to come on here and pay out on people who are going overseas to fight/train or have a fight/train here. Ok there are some people we all don't like in the game, but I don't think anyone should be making the negative comments that have been made on this thread or other threads. Especially when u don't know the other person personally.

Hey SAMTFAN

Wow you have known Mair for over 10 years big deal as so have I. I also think hes a great trainer has he helped me train back in 1995. I imagine his camp may be a better place for some to train at than the wmc camp...courses for horses.

Also it wasnt pinkbits that told everyone here that he was fighting at Lumpini it was me and I also didnt mention his name, just that is was a friend of mine.

I have seen both of Pinkbits fights in Thailand and can validate that his opponents were very worthy and both kos legite.

How old are you SAMTFAN? Age shouldnt be a barrier to fitness....ok if your over 40 then kool if not I just trained with a 38 year old guy from Israel who is still fighting. My mother took up long distance running at 40 and ran the London, New York, Sydney, Adelaide Marathons each twice up until here late 50's. Not bad times to boot at 3 hours 15minsPB!

Lastly a couple of things...the gym Rompo were Pinky was training in Bangkok is well known for putting fighters into Lumpini etc etc. An Iranian guy training here fought Yodsenklai in his 8th fight!! ......yes only his 8th and his 2 previous fights were against Wanlop!!!!! So in 8 fights with only a wrestling background hes already fought 3 times against 2 of the best middleweights in the world. Also why shouldnt Pinky share with us what he accomplished in Thailand? I didnt see any bragging in his posts. Im for one proud as a friend of what he accomplished.

So when is pinkbits going to fight again in Adelaide? Maybe Ethan can find him an opponent from Qld??

[samtfan]

Hey Dutts, I know you and you know me. I am 51 y.o. I was 26 y.o. when I had my first fight at the Apollo Stadium. You probably don't even know that place existed. You were probably still sucking your thumb when I was fighting. Those were the days of the above waist fights with a minimum of 8 kicks per round or you lose points. I have been around and probably one of the first South Aussies to train in Thailand before you guys made a big deal out of it. Anymore stuff you want to know. Search the history and you'll probably know who I am. Oh Dutts.....one of my lads ordered some shorts from you ages ago. What happened, did you forget????

Kano, how do you know that I don't know this guy. Stop making assumptions. I have spoken to the guy and I have my opinions about him.

Rusty, what had he achieved.

Viper, go suck up to someone else. Dutts won't do much for you.

samtfan,

You will see that I addressed my reply to yourself and negative members, that was because you may well know him, but others make comments about people that they don't know from a bar of soap. I also couldn't find where Viper was sucking up to Dutts, she actually made comment to my reply.

Go Viper!!

[samtfan]

Hell no Viper. Its impossible to FU^% oneself unless you use digits. Maybe others do it all the time. Sorry to disappoint you but I am not kinky. As for you ripping my head off and defecating down my neck, thats impossible too. This is the second time you are having a go at me Viper. If you don't like my posts don't read it.

[samtfan]

Thanks for your advice Barry. I am in no way bagging people who does all the hard yards only people who doesn't do the yards.

[dutts72]

Hey Samtfan

Trying to think of who you are by the way you right I cant imagine us being friends lol!!! **** dont wont to upset you...sorry my bad.

Hmmmm 51...I think I have an idea..but is Alex your real name? If not let me no by Pm PLEASE. As for the shorts you lad orderd...when as this? You would no how hard it is to deal with thai since your vast expeirence is evident so that perhaps explains were the shorts are.

PS the Iranian Guy lost 2 times KO with Wanlop (both fights in round 2 and Wanlop feel sorry for him)and the same with Yodsenklai win KO. very good take care of the gym a fighter with only 8 fights

Yer i no the results of oscars fights with Yod and wanlop as i talked about it with him. Hes still nursing his broken arm and he had no idea of who these 2 champiosn were. At the time he spoke little english and no thai so yes some dodgy buiss going on there.

Can anyone tell me about Fairtex Gym in Thailand?

[Alan Wong]

Which one BMT. They have a new one in Pattaya. Don't know much about that one yet but I will soon find out, going there next week. It is suppose to be a very modern gym. Also I heard that Nong Tum (hope I spelt it correctly), the sex change boxer trains there.

[Tosh]

Do you fancy that sort of thing Mr Wong, hear you will training Paul and Kuy in Pattaya, good to hear both pinkbits are together!
But not sure does Paul have a Thai Title?

[Alan Wong]

Now now tosh

What have I done to deserve that sort of comments. Are you another one of those guys that like to stirr up sh^&. We have enuf of those here so you are one too many.

[Tosh]

no offence intended, but can answer my question are u training Paul & Kuy in thailand? and does Paul have a Thai title like Kuy?

[Alan Wong]

No offence taken.....just curious about what you said.

No no no, I am not training Kuy. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, why? because he trains under someone else. Would be against the unwritten rules if I did that. I am not training Paul in thailand. I am just meeting up with him to go to Japan for the K1 Revenge show in Sapporo. He is fighting on the 30th of July.

[Alan Wong]

What Title does Kuy have???? Did I miss something? I am not sure what you mean by "Does Paul have a Thai Title". The only Titles Paul won in Thailand is the Gold Medal at the World Championships in 1999 and the 2 Pro WMC World Titles that he held. Is that what you wanted Tosh?

[Tosh]

Yes exactly, so what title did Kuy win?? or was it a undercard fight.
dutt72 when did you say pinkbits was going to fight at Lumpini??
