Hello guys, I hope i picked the right forum to post this in!
I have ambitions to win the championship belt of my country in Muay Thai and my job allows me to travel 3-6 months every winter, since this will be my first trip to Thailand I'll stay 3 months which I guess is a decent amount of time!
So, why the thread?
I have been reasearching for what seems like AGES on what camp to go to. I don't want to try different ones, I want to book a hotel close to camp and just bite down and go hard for 3 months, I have scouted a few gyms and I'd like your input/thoughts of the gyms I mentioned, also if you have any other tips of gyms i havent mentioned you are more than welcome to do so!
What am I looking to get out of the gym during my stay?
So! Any tips, thoughts and ideas are warmly welcome!
Cheers
Lucky

What am I looking to get out of the gym during my stay?
- EXPERIENCED trainers who fought in big arenas and know what they are doing
- Trainers that put alot of attention to detail and proper technique (Correcting you)
- A gym where you can get alot of individual attention during group training
- A gym where the Trainers speak at least "ok" english
- Not a commertional gym like Tiger Muay Thai or Top Rank (Too crowded and possibility for individual help decreases drasticly)
- Training 2 times per day (I know pretty standard but still)
- Nice atmosphere aka "Family vibe"
- Sitjaopho - Seems to have absolutely everything I ask for, I know that Tho is always at the Gym and his brother has been in Sweden alot, I wonder if he's brother is back in Thailand? Other than that they seem to have everything I look for: Friendly, highly skillfull, very technique focused, alot of attention given to those who show they want it, good english
- Singpatong Sitnumnoi - Seems to be a very hardcore gym, don't know much about It since they barely have any information about the trainers, but from what I've read/heard and seen on youtube, it seems like a very serious gym which would fit me very well.
- Sitsongpeenong - Seems to have everything I ask for, only that It was rather expensive. Food, training and accomodation for 3 months was 157500 baht = 4793$ But I could maybe find a cheap hotel nearby instead.
- [These top 3 are really head to head, could go with either]
- Santai (Close to moving up) - I heard alot of positive things about Santai, the trainers have very good resumees, AND ITS CHEAP. 42000 Baht (1280$) for 3 months + a "fighters house" a small place with AC, king size bed, shower with warm water and all the basic stuff you need.
- Attachai - Heard good things but website still under construction, so I'm waiting for more information on that front.
- Khunsuek - Where superbon trains, Trainer Gae also spend alot of time here. Gym is very modern, good accomodations on spot, but heard it's more of a cardio session rather than learning good and proper techniques
So! Any tips, thoughts and ideas are warmly welcome!
Cheers
