What are the experiences and recommendations for expats moving to Thailand for fight training?

Some Filipino ladyboys did several months ago and appeared to base themselves down soi 11. The Thai ladyboys fought them at the end of their stay after a bit of build up to the big event and the Filipinos ended up getting escorted out of Thailand if memory serves me right. Not sure what visas they had for their trip but I'm guessing not a non-ED

If you go somewhere for a few months, you didn’t “move” there. You’re just a transient.

Yeh man it’s great I have done it many times and also had a lot of fights . It’s great fun you will love it . Witch part of Thailand will you stay

I did it with my son, who was 18 yoa, and a Black Belt in Tang Soo Doo. We did it in Pattaya. Pluses: Very active international gym and fight scene, with many gyms and trainers to choose from. Many inexpensive, but nice accommodations. Good medical options available if necessary. Many good and inexpensive restaurants. Minuses: a lot of distractions. My suggestion, come into it in shape and well trained, ready to go. Personally, visit, observe and work out (if available) at several gyms, before signing a long-term commitment. No longer than month to month.

I’ve been here 7 months & my main reason was training MT

I would avoid on site gym accomidation, a lot of them are fairly dirty & noisy during the day so its good to give yourself a mental rest from the place, food is cheap so dont ever get meals with the gym or you will have to eat at a set time every day.

North thailand is half the price of south thailand, south thailans feels overly commercialised, very “touristy”. however the north is very quiet at night to & most places shut fairly early. you ned to try 3-4 gyms in each area & see what works for you. dont book anything long term up front

Bangkok fight Lab is your go to-

I did and they told me that if I trained hard enough I could beat Francis Ngannou. I replied that Ngannou is now and never won a fight!

It depends on why you want to do this. Are you a professional wanting to add to your skill set, or just an amateur?

Yep. 12 month student visa with Tiger Muay Thai.

If you're planning to train for a month or more, let me know and I can organise 15% off (y)
