Private lessons in Thailand..

[Toomanyshots10]

Hi,I will be in Bangkok early January for 10 days,and decided rather than train at one gym,I will only do privates with some legends. I have been having a really hard time finding contact info for a lot of them.

Could you recommend any legends,and possibly pass on their contact info? Please,no Buakaw!! They got back to me and said he charges $8000US for 1 hour

US$8,000?!! Surely not :O

haha that's exactly what I said! I asked a few times just to confirm,and the answer was the same. I gave up after that.

I even asked why he charged so much,when Saenchai only charges 5000tbh,and I didn't get a reply.

 

Sorry for the double post. I'm new to the forum!!

Whoa - wait what?! 8000 (Dollars?!) for Buakaw?! >_> That can't be real lol.

I've never been to Kru Attachai's gym in Bangkok (Attachai Muay Thai) but he does privates for 2500 Baht (see website: https://attachaimuaythai.com/sport-gym/trainings/ ) I had a friend of mine that trained here and nothing but positive reviews based on their experience! Sylvie also wrote an article when he first opened his gym months ago, and there are lots of great info, especially her experience: http://8limbs.us/muay-thai-thailand/new-attachai-muay-thai-gym-fighting-genius-beautiful-surroundings

I do plan of visiting his gym as I will be heading back to Thailand early next year. But you'll get there before I would so if you do ended up going for a private session with Kru Attachai, hope you'll have a blast there! :D

Thanks for the reply! Actually,I have been in contact with Attachai and Sagat,so it looks like I will get a lesson from both. I was hoping to line up at least 3 more privates with different people,but like I said,getting hold of them isn't easy,which is why I need help on here. I plan on keeping a small journal on each session,so I will keep you updated.

 

As for the Buakaw $8000 thing....I tripled checked the price with his gym, because I was sure there was a language barrier. It was the same answer every time!! So either that's the price or he is being misrepresented. Maybe someone on here could try contacting them so we can compare notes.

Attachai and Sagat are really good. I'd also look into Chatchai Saskul (https://www.facebook.com/Sasakul-Muaythai-gym-718000251678223/) and Jaroenthong (https://www.facebook.com/JaroenthongGymMengJai/) and Hippy Singmanee. Hippy's gym is called "Town in Town Gym."

Thanks for the help,Sylvie. I have Sagat,attachai,hippy and Saenchai lined up for lessons. Hippy has been very cool and enthusiastic about teaching,so I’m pumped about that.

When are you thinking of heading over? It sounds like all gyms are closed at the moment. His gym has a facebook page:

but they might not reply. If they don't reply then your best bet would be to get to the gym before the morning session ends (once this corona lockdown has been lifted, obviously) and arrange a private session then.
