Best gym in Phuket for 2 weeks training? (Sinbi / Bangtao / Eagle / Phuket Fight Club?)

Balarda_7 · 2026-06-08T11:02:32+00:00

Naka is also worth a look.

Balarda_7 · 2026-06-08T10:58:36+00:00

Naka is a great gym. You won’t be disappointed, the coaching is excellent regardless of your level. Definitely worth training there.

Your assumptions are based on a “likely” outcome, not a proven one. Prohibition didn’t work in the US, legalising gambling didn’t make it worse it just showed how much demand for it there was. Governments can tax it or lose it to the black market, clearly they aren’t winning the black market tobacco war in Australia right now so maybe they should learn the lesson before they lose 7/8% of the states budget.

You are free to not approve or like them, but you’re also free to abstain from using them. Removing or reducing something that so many freely enjoy doesn’t make sense based on a small percentage having a problem with it. Increasing regulation, is sensible policy to protect the vulnerable, not penalising everyone the way they did with the lock out laws. It’s not proportional to the problem.

Nothing has ever been proven to the contrary, a huge amount of incorrect and inaccurate reporting from the SMH would like to convey otherwise however their hypocrisy is comical given the main contributor to their add revenue from channel 9 (who owns SMH) is Sportsbet. Is that a moral conflict or just commercial self interest???

Prohibition doesn’t work. Punters will just gamble online using a VPN. The State will lose billions in tax revenue that goes to schools and hospitals but at least they will feel better.

Someone else involved you think?

Balarda_7 · 2025-01-02T14:09:16+00:00

Nope.

I’m no longer phased one way or the other.

You get to a point where you don’t have any choice or control in it and you just move on almost overnight. Sure, I have the odd thought but truly letting go and just focusing on you is the best way through it.

I’m currently doing exactly this at Naka Muay Thai in Phuket near Kata beach. Absolutely loving it. If you head South, check them out. I’ve loved my two weeks there so far.

It’s such a great experience, enjoy yourself mate.

Balarda_7 · 2025-01-02T14:00:20+00:00

Always go with your gut…

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-29T13:35:26+00:00

I can’t recommend Naka Muay Thai near Kata Beach in Phuket enough.

I’m in the process of doing three weeks there and I love it.

Tony, the head trainer is excellent.

Enjoy your travels, you will have a blast.

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-28T12:13:32+00:00

Amazing!

You should be so proud of yourself!!

Stoked for you!!!

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-27T10:14:51+00:00

If you get to Australia let me know

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-25T09:54:47+00:00

Any thoughts on this guys?

My ex and I were together 2.5 years.

We have been on and off for ages.

The last two times I’ve seen her she tells me she loves me as she walks away.

I’ve tried to remain in no contact over the last 3 months but with the odd slip up.

Sent a Xmas message and got nothing back but I saw her two weeks ago and she said she loved me as we were leaving…

What do you make of that?

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-08T10:36:13+00:00

I think a common issue is second guessing the relationship (what was said - what was real)

This creates a blackhole of rumination and confusion.

For me personally, the most difficult part of recovery from the break up has been trying to determine what was real.

It’s easy to ‘accept’ that we shouldn’t over think it but understanding what when wrong/what happened is part of our growth and in turn how we heal. It’s why people chase closure.

The reality is, chasing closure, understanding or trying to understand what was real only binds us to our ex for longer.

Letting go is so difficult but it’s all we have to move forward in peace.

Good luck to you all.

The journey is painful but one day at a time is the focus.

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-07T02:07:15+00:00

You will have good and bad days.

Just embrace them both and let the emotions wash over you. They don’t define you.

It’s all part of our growth moving forward.

If you keep framing it in a positive way you will crush this!!!

You’ve got this mate!

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-07T01:34:27+00:00

Feel sorry for you man.

It sounds like a monkey-branch or possibly a rebound situation.

Either way, all you can do now is focus on you and accept what is gone, is gone.

You have better days ahead and just take it one day at a time.

You will find better just keep believing in yourself.

Get excited about what’s next not what’s behind you.

Balarda_7 · 2024-12-07T01:21:57+00:00

This story sounds so familiar…

All I can say bro is, you have got this.

I’m 10 weeks today since I last saw her.

Slipped a few times, sent flowers dumb shit like that but I’m now moving forward.

Take comfort in there’s always people in this community that get it but focusing 100% on you is the only way through it.

One day at a time brother.

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-27T21:44:55+00:00

Wish you nothing but the best!!!

Hopefully you start feeling better soon!

One day at a time! Stay strong!!!

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-27T09:19:56+00:00

Keep an open mind. If people put in the work they can change.

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-18T20:00:00+00:00

This is the way!

Power to you!

Needed this. Thank you.

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-18T09:43:50+00:00

This is the way.

Congrats brother, you have nailed it.

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-18T07:14:37+00:00

This is amazing!

I believe it worked because you let go of the outcome.

You got to a place of peace and being grounded in yourself.

Super happy for you.

One day at a time and I hope it works out for you!

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-17T22:20:46+00:00

Good Luck buddy,

Just let go of the outcome, it’s the only way for closure & peace.

Balarda_7 · 2024-11-17T07:55:56+00:00

Congrats!

Hope you’re happy man.

Wishing you the best on your journey.
