I'm going there to train, not party. Diamond is very hihly recommended, that is why I'm interested.
Could you describe your time in Sitsongpeenong Bangkok? I'm leaning towards going there myself.
I was there for two months. The location is on the outskirts of Bangkok so there are no real distractions. The only things to do in the area are go to coffee shops or the supermarket but you can go to different places in a taxi. They also take you to quite a bit of fights.
The accomodation is really nice. It is like a hotel. They have satelite TV, a pool tbale and a x box if you get bored. Only thing was the wifi was rubbish when I was there.
The padholders make the training fun and most of them help you out a lot. Also people like Sittichai helped me out a bit. In the AM the foreigners and the Thais train together so you can spar with them etc. If you're very good you can train with them in the afternoon. I mainly clinced with the foreigners but occasionally I got to clinch with Rolex and some of the smaller Thai boys. I was there when it was the IFMA's so there were a lot of really good fighters there with a few beginners.
