Thanks for the reply ! I will be there in a week so i have a lot of questions. It seems you didn't run? it wasn't mandatory? (yes, I don't like to run and I'm a little  bit ashamed of it, but it's also because i only stay 10 days and i would prefer keep my energy for the technical aspect of training if i train twice a day). Also do you know if it's possible to do privates ?

Thank you again!

To be truthful i only start running on my 6th day (which is also my last day there went lost on the way back gym and missed the earlier part of training i was too adventurous)

Yeah running is not mandatory there. However we should not get too laid back then. Manage your energy expenditure smartly throughout the sessions and throughout your stay. Skip session to rest and recover if your body need to.

On private training, i aware they start offering but i do not know details. Speak to the owner and you will have your answer.

Hey! I plan to go there in february so i'm curious how was your stay ? (I have a hard time to communicate with them via facebook or Instagram), was it too crowded? Thanks!

Hi nanibjj, I was staying solo about 7km (about 10min driving) away from gym i booked online via agoda.com, which located just outside of the town area. Very convenient location for food, water, washing machine etc. I also rented a scooter elsewhere to travel around.

In their instagram (particularly the owner's instagram) he had listed 3 accommodation options nearer to the gym with prices. It will be more activities because staying with group. Please have a look~

During my stint the gym was pretty crowded, but all kru will keep an eye on you making sure you had your session. The gym runs on semi-automated + self-initiative mode. You are expected to show up on time, warm up on your own & of your choice. Krus will show up afterwards then "chaos" begins! You may pick up working partner you like to work with on sparring and clinching, else the kru will match up someone for you

I enjoyed every minute being present at there. Please be patient communicating with the owner, as he run the most of the show by himself. 

Please let me know should you need more detailed information.

Tried this gym for couple of days last week. Owner is a good dude, and trainer held pads amazingly. Especially for lefties that's a big deal.

But... no Thai fighters training in there - the place is a Farang Farm. So for sparring and clinch you don't get a Thai partner. (And half of them spar with you like they just saw you run over their dog.)

Just saying as this 2nd point is something that never gets mentioned by ppl online. 

Yes it is true. Strangely my encounter with random partners in sparing and clinching all of them are friendly (got bashed occasionally but within my tolerable level, probably they came down to match my level ). However i aware that 2 of the kru fought in Oct and Nov 2019 respectively. There were sessions the kru will spar with us though. 

Did we meet?

[Looking for suggestions or help re: my pad holding above]

i believe you aware some pad holder trainer make "rhythmic" noises. I found it somewhat relieving though when i did it and now become a nature of me~
