This is not a gym for someone who is not familiar with or connected in Isaan, I would say. It's run by a wonderful family, and represents and trains diverse fighters in the Buriram area, but no English or western language is spoken. We did not see training sessions there, but it appeared quite informal. This is more a gym for someone looking for complete adventure and immersion, I think, not a gym to go to if expecting to fight or be trained in a rigorous way.

If you are going to be in Isaan I'd recommend Kem Muaythai Gym.

Sangtiennoi's gym look pretty awesome to us. Traditional, western friendly, connected, a legendary fighter.

I think his gym is still at the original location. He has two gyms listed on his website, but he is always at the original one because it's his house also.
