I am travelling to Tiger Muay thai (http://www.tigermuaythai.com/)next year

a few lads I know have been here before, and have told me good things about their times @ TMT

Whereabouts in the UK do you do Thai??

If you seriously want to do Thai in Thailand go to a camp in Bangkok!

If you want a training 'holiday' where you can relax but also spend time training in the gym - Phuket, Thailand is your best bet. Dragon, Rawai, Tiger Muay Thai etc are all decent but at the same time you can train hard and look for fights but generally it's aimed at western tourists.

I've been to TMT twice for 5 weeks at a time. Ray Elbe the MMA coach (although an acquired taste) is a decent coach and the Muay Thai is great so you'll get what you want from there. They are also the most 'western' Thai gym you'll see in Thailand from Strength & Conditioning, to diet plans, to bootcamp fitness, yoga and more.

If you want to go hard and REALLY train, head towards North Thailand or even stay in Europe/UK. We have so many solid gyms over here that are neglected. If I wanted to train hard for a fight or get in fight shape, I'd definitely choose a UK gym such as Wolsflair, London Shoot, Kaobon, Titan, Dinky Ninjas etc over somewhere like TMT where there are definitely more distractions.

My 2 pence.

Dending on your level of striking, I cant see how you would benefit from training with a Raja/Lumpinee champion as opposed to some of the fantastic coaches here in the UK such as Pele, Ronnie Green, Master A, Barry Norman and the Caledonian/Griphouse Muay Thai guys... all are located up north and you'd spend a hell of alot less money.

But I suppose if you want to be somewhere hot and train... Thailand is the place to be :)

If Thailand isn't suitable for whatever reason you could consider Holland.

[thaison]

Id pick Holland over France also.
Other option would be to find a UK gym with a thai coach in residence, theres a few in England just now and we have Sorn up at the dnft.griphouse for about another month.

why are people telling him to stay in england when he said he wanted to go on holiday!?

stay england and have a weekend in skegness. sorted.


or id say go dragon aswell, its the best gym ive trained at in phuket by a mile! they actually take interest in everybody and will teach you as much as they possible can. i wasted so much time at other gyms instead of going back there. going back there soon, i couldnt praise the place enough

plus its round the corner form tiger if you want to do some bjj or use the gym facilities, which are pretty good.

cheers for all the advice lads
