Anyone trained in Bangkok? - 24 June 2008 14:09

I'm in Thailand for a fortnight in August.

I'm unsure wether to stay in Bangkok for the entire duration, and as such, probably won't be able to commit myself to a full program (not this time round anyway).

Are there any schools that are cool with beginner farangs paying on a session basis?

I've looked at this one:

Any input?

I'm prepared to hand over the baht for perosnal training sessions.

I went over to Koh Samui and trained for a week - about 2 months back.

WMC gym, Lamai Beach.

Was really good; close to the beach - so something to do when not training. Lots of competitors from 'The Contender' train there; plus a buch of Brits and Aussies who are sponsored and so there long term.

I'd not trained in Thailand beofre, and found this place to be great.

Other places I had recommended were:

Fairtex - sites in Pattaya and Bangkok. Expensive, 5 star hotel-type, and excellent training.
Kewsumrit (dodby spelling) in Bangkok - favored by my MT coach (Sean Toomey) - meant to be great.

You luck sod - bet you'll have a ball!

I admire many people for how they live their lives But the people I admire the most are those people who refuse to give up.
