Training in Thailand, NAK MUAY NATION

Just a little post to say I've not long got back home from spending two weeks trading with Sean Fagan, at khongsittha gym Bangkok

If, like me anyone is considering travelling to Thailand to train anywhere, DO IT!!! It's the best thing I've ever done, I put it off for years as it seemed too scary, I'm not that fit, I'm over weight, it's a lot of money blah blah blah, do it, you will not regret it!

The two hardest things were actually coming home, and trying to decide where to go next year, same gym or try a different one?

Awesome! I am so glad that you had a great time training at KST with Sean! I've been keeping an eye out of daily updates of the current training camps, it looks so much fun and nostalgic! 

 

I'm finally going later this year. I kept

putting it off for finances, etc. but I finally went ahead and booked plane tickets. So excited!

Woohoo! :D

Honestly you will not regret it, I injured my ankle the day before I flew, so I couldn't train as much as I wanted, but I still had a great time. The people / kru's are lovely, area is safe, hotel is great, I hope I can afford to go back this year, but think it'll have to be next year

It's awesome you had such a positive experience and I LOVE that you posted here to encourage others to make a trip out, regardless of where they go. When I visited Khongsittha for the clinch seminar I offered (when Radarjam was there, so I got to meet her/you!) I could tell that everyone there was really happy with the experience, despite a few disappointments regarding getting to fight or injuries or whatever else. But it was clear that there was no "well this wasn't what I wanted" kind of response. 

I would personally encourage you to check out other camps, just because the experiences are so different and there's so much of Thailand to discover that simply isn't available in one place. Even if you end up liking your first camp better, at least then you know!

Sylvie the night I arrived you were fighting in Bangkok, but unfortunately I got to the camp about 30 mins after everyone else had left ( plus I was tired and sweaty etc ) but gutted I didn't get to see you fight. Defo on my bucket list to watch you live

    • Hi guys planning on training in CM next summer, any gym recommendations and tips would be appreciated.
    • Hello  This year I had the chance to train two month in Thaïland. At the end of my stay I had 5 days in Bangkok so I visited the Pk Saenchai gym where I saw Yodkhounpon and did a private lesson with him. I really really enjoyed the session with him and I would love to come back and train more with him but he only at Pk gym one day per week so I wonder if he work for another gym where I can train more with him. Any Ideas ?
    • Hello I did one month at Hong Thong gym. If you want to work a lot on your technics the best could be tto take some private lessons with Joe because during the basic session you will not have a lot of corrections (but you will have some). Some time they have a lot of people so they don't have the time to focus on one specific person.  You can fight there and it generally happen at the Loh Kroï stadium surronded by hostesses bars.  If you don't know about it becarefull when you will move to Chiang Mai, there is a big the smog around march april and may. Moutain people do buring farming and it impact a lot the quality of the air.  The only bad thing I can say about Hong Thong gym when I was there is that the mat were you train is not wash enough often so after two minutes of traning your feet will be black. If you come without your fighting equipment avoid to borrow those they have in the gym. I get a staphilococcus because of that  (it's a "Newbe" mistake). You have one fairtex shop in Chiang Mai were you can buy everything you could need. Sometime Manasak and some of his student come to train at Hong Thong, He have a Gym in Chiang Mai too and one good women fighter in his team her name is Lisa Brierley. Enjoy your trip

    • Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!   
    • Have you looked at venum elite 
    • 3½ years late of a reply haha. I'm in Phuket and have went to quite a few physios. The best so far is Meaw at OptimiseFit at the Blue Tree in north Phuket. She doesn't dry needle me as another Dr. has here but all my muscle tension came back soon so it's a waste of money.
    • Don't know if this brand offers shin guards but might as well check them out. I bought a few pairs of shorts from them a while ago and was genuinely impressed. https://siamkickfight.com/
    • Hi all, I have paid a deposit to a gym in Pai near Chiang Mai to train at in January. I am now concerned about the pollution levels at that time of year because of the burning season. Can you recommend a location that is likely to have safer air quality for training in January? I would like to avoid Bangkok and Phuket, if possible. Thank you!
