Muay thai camps

From what I've read Tiger Muay Thai is good but it's more tourist aimed. If he's looking for a 'real' gym he should check out some of the ones on this website. Its where I get my Muay Thai news but it has camp reviews and that sort of thing.

I've never been or trained myself but this may help :good

Check the rest of the site for reviews of certain camps.

 

No problem mate, anytime :good

 

www.muaythailand.com is a great site and has loads of reviews on lots of different gyms

 

my friends and i like to recommend sinbi in phuket every chance we get.
my friend goes every summer for 3 months (school teacher) and at least 1 other time during the year.
I'll be going this year or next.

 

My buddy (who posts on a bunch of forums, including mymuaythai.com as ryukyu damashii) has trained at a bunch of places in Thailand and always goes back to Sinbi.

Outside of training, they're on the beach - so lots of ocean fun, and they will take you out for safe night on the town if you ask.

A good number of foreigners train there, but those foreigners tend to be pro and amateur fighters from all over the world.

 

Interesting, I'd love to go over and train when I'm finished school. Not to become a Nak Muay or anything but just to see what it is like.

 

I have heard a lot of good things about Sinbi but was put off by their high price for accommodation.

 

Im currently here doing a documentary on the new Phuket Top Team in Phuket. Its just up the road from Tiger. As well as the obvious training/fighting Muay thai here also they have a good team of mma fighters, a jiu jitsu blackbelt professor from brazil and a very good western boxing coach(former Olympic fighter/trainer). Brand new facilities, you can check it out here

Saenchai has left sinbi now. he has taken his young fighter and family to bangkok

 

if it is your first time train at a tourist friendly gym so you can see what its like.
I have trained at a ffew gyms in bangkok.
Dont commit to 1 camp incase you don't like it there, you are better of staying in a hotel and trying a few gyms to see which one you like the most.
i have been to gyms that where supposed to be good, but if you get a **** pad holder who doesn't teach you anything or correct technique it can sometimes be hard to change trainers. this happened to me i asked to change trainer and they got a bit upset.
