    define best...

    best for farangs
    best for holiday
    best (ie most famous trainers)
    best (biggest names right now)
    best (most successful)
    best (gym itself ie facilities)
    best (pricewise)

    all the usual suspects are good with wetserners, Jitti's, keawsamrit, sor vorapin, sasiprapa etc. used to dealing with us and used to our ways!!

    other gyms like pinsinchai, 13 coins and kiatonphip doing much more with westeners too.

    then all the island gyms, woudnt say they are the best gyms in thailand, but some really good trainers are at them.

    as yak said, the trainers move around all the time so depends if you're after that trainer or not, although they will often come back somewhere to train someone. watcharachai is back and forth to jitti's all the time and will always be there to train iman when she is there.

    it wouldnt have won the (proper) gym of the year - i mean in the proper awards like the sportswriters association of thailand or the other fighter/camp of the year

    another bit of farang aimed promotion maybe due to some backhanders..

    it wont be due to their success in the bangkok stadiums...
