I just got into Phuket today for a month of muay thai training. I will be here for all of June.

I will keep you all updated about how it goes - cost of living, ease and quality of hooking up, etc. I am not really staying in a touristy spot of town, which has its advantages and disadvantages.

Phuket is great. Must be super hot this time if year. i was there in the cool season and I was still sweating balls.

Avoid Patong Beach. Its a touristy area, and so 98% of the girls at the clubs where pros. Its ridiculous. Plus the beach is crappy.

Do an Island hopping tour. Its a full day and cost me about $100. Extremely worth it. Snorkling & lunch is included. They take you to like 6 islands. Some really cool spots. One island is called monkey island, where monkeys will eat out of your hand and steal your food.

That mui tai camp sounds sweet. I remember finding one on the internet a long time ago, but have never tried it. Its like 5 hours a day of training, right? But I remember its kinda out in the middle of nowhere, so internet game might be a good option.

Lastly, one of the nearby islands (I think it was Ko Samoi) has a full moon party every month. Didnt get to check it out when I was there, but its supposed to be good.

I second that, I got a STD here.
(But I deserved it, I was with a different chick every night I was there)
A lot of shoring goes on.
I wish I was there with you man!
Have fun

I am training here http://www.rawaimuaythai.com

It isn't too hot here but there are torrential fifteen minute rainstorms that are also not so nuts either.

haven't really seen too many hotties yet, I am in the middle of nowhere. Honestly this trip is more about training and getting a lot of reading done.

Whoever said online dating is totally right. That is what I have been doing here with dateinasia.com

I have set up two dates for later this week. I would like to make the logistics of doing this as easy as possible. In order to not get a terrible disease I plan to not bang more than two or three girls while I am here.

Hehehe! <img src=/images/smilies/new/lol.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Laugh" title="Laugh" /> Funny shit man! Are you talking about paid hooker shit or just plain pulling women.

I heard stories of guys getting some tails with vacationing european women who are down for anything.

Phuket is beautiful man! Oh yeah! The Full Moon Festival is the thing to go to if your into that rave shit and party like a maniac!

The word Phuket makes me a bit horny sound like "Fuck It!" It also sounds like the filipino slang word for "Pussy" which is "Puke" (pronounced 'POO-KEH') hehehe! <img src="images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" />

I would love to study Muay Thai Chaiya...yeah that traditional bare knuckle shit! It just looks badass! That would be a cool martial art to study too!

That's cool man! Nothing wrong with getting some shit done. "A man's gonna do what a man's gonna do" right?
If i was young in my twenties I would do that shit in a heartbeat!

Well, Enjoy your stay bro!

just checked out that muay thai school, looks awesome, I couldnt believe the price..... 500 bucks or so in high season for the room, only another 350 or so a month for the training? shit thats cheap! Now I need an escrima and phillipino knife fighting school!

Post: #12

I checked the link on the muay thai school and it looks very tempting. I definitely need a good plan like this to get back to full fitness and this, at this awesome location right on the beach is what the doctor ordered for me. I'll do it starting this fall.

YMG,
Please keep me posted on how the training goes as I'm very interested in doing it as well this fall.
Thanks man.

Post: #13

http://www.ancientmuaythai.com this place looks even better, great location, great price, and the guy teaches a combo of the best IMO. I sent an email to them. I am seriously thinking about going there for a month or few.

Post: #14

check out the guys accomplishments... http://www.ancientmuaythai.com/teachers/biography.htm

I think the people who take the best of all the styles, end up making the best all around fighters.... this guy obviously has.

Yeah. I bet you'll feel amazing after a full month of training.
Im interested in doing something like this one day too. I think when I i do it I'll leave my laptop at home and go a whole month with zero internet. I say its not a bad idea to put pussy on hold all together for a full month.

Post: #16

I've been wanting to study Muay Thai for a long time, and this looks sick. I'd probably do a couple months and then spend a couple months chilling in Asia. Very curious to know how the training is.

Post: #17

Daily Schedule:

6:30 Wake up, no breakfast - morning training is done on an empty stomach to maximize fat loss
7:00 5 KM run
7:30-9 Training: jump rope, five 5-minute rounds on the kicking bags, sparring with trainers, conditioning and drills

By the end of the morning session you are completely soaked. What I like about the gym is that it is an open air gym so you have these breezes coming right in while you are training.

I have never trained in tropical weather before and it is difficult to say the least. At times I feel like I am going to pass out.

Food is amazing and cheap as hell. Rent is 300 bucks for a month, food is like 250-300 bucks depending on where you eat, and a month of school is like 270 bucks.

There is an afternoon training session from 5-7 that I have not done yet because I am so exhausted. I am physically capable of doing it but I want to make sure I can wake up every day for the morning session, which is twice as effective in terms of fat loss. I do not really care about leaving here as a professional fighter, I just want to cut all the fat that I gained from France and Beijing.

Average weight loss seems to be about 8kg here, or like 20 pounds in a month. You have to factor in some muscle and water loss here, but by eating regularly, drinking occasionally, and doing the muay thai people tend to lose about 10 pounds of solid fat per month here. If you are an exceptionally fat/large person you will lose more than 10 pounds of solid fat per month.

I am cutting down on the drinking and thus will not rely on nightlife game to bone. In fact, I am too tired from getting my ass kicked by thai people that I dont even have the energy or libido to bone right now.

I'm feeling great.

Post: #18

The price is actually around 300-350 bucks to train, not 270 as I said.

If you have any questions let me know.

I got propositioned by a ladyboy last night. It was dark and he/she was riding by on a motorcycle. I guess I look Chinese bc she goes

"Ni haoooo"

Super fine body but voice and face (and adam's apple) clearly gave her away.

Online dating has created me three or four prospects but the logistics are not great as they live half an hour away. Also they reek of desperation and might be pros...in general the girls here all seem to be pros.

I am going to switch my focus to girls in my area that I see. I think these girls like light skinned Asian dudes, as all the celebrities look Chinese.

Post: #21

dude on DIA, it was scary, every time I saw a "ladyboy" on a page, she was the hottest one on the page... fuck thats scary.....

anyway how is the Muay thai going?

Post: #22

Thanks for asking.

It is intense and I am starting to feel a bit of fatigue and minor injuries, although nothing that is going to not let me train.

The heat is starting to get to me. The amount of sweat you lose doing kickboxing on the equator with no air conditioning is pretty intense.

Having said that, I am clearly getting into better shape.

Post: #23

your body should be getting used to it by now 2 weeks in hehehe,

Any luck on the lady side? or just too tired?
How much do you think you have lost?
Are you gaining any muscle as well or just shedding fat. (i dont want to get too skinny ,
How much do you feel your muay thai has improved?

Unfortunately I have only lost like 3 or 4 pounds since I first got here. People are not supposed to be able to lose more than 2 pounds of fat a week. However, given my fluctuations in water weight I was really expecting to be losing a lot more than this. The trainers are telling me that it is because I am putting on muscle. I don't really know what to think.

I am not making progress as quickly as I wanted or expected and I am strongly disappointed by that. Regardless, I will keep working hard and will see how it goes. It is clear to me that I have lost fat, especially around the midsection. My pants are becoming looser.

You will lose both muscle and fat while you are here.
