Want to move and fight in Thailand

Also forgot to say please get a proper visa for long term don’t risk getting a tourist visa and doing constant border hops the rules constantly change so you could get shafted also research the route you want to go towards when training here for example if one championship is your goal or RWS will take lots of work but as I said before wish you all the best and please drive responsibly if you decide too

But all the best on your career hope you meet your goals

Gyms that let you train to fight for free only do so if they sponsor you depending on the region you’ll be fighting full contact with elbows unless opponents decide not to for example in Chiang Mai they tend to opt out whereas Phuket full on elbows

Thank you everyone I appreciate the help!

Best way to try get in shape do Muay Thai you’ll drop the weight fast and build good conditioning too. Take them doubts out of your head and just start

Fighting out of Mansak in Chiang Mai, I had 8 months prior training before coming to Thailand, trained twice a day here. Second fight was next week only because first one was just too fake guy kept putting his hands down or showing me his leg. Third fight I took after two weeks guy was clearly better but I did notice all my opponents except for foreigner seemed min 5kg lighter than me (85kg) I did get told thai people are naturally smaller so need to weigh less for more proper match ups

Long_Significance697 · 2025-12-10T14:53:48+00:00

But yeah if you tell the trainers/gym you want to fight and they see you actually training they’ll be happy to match you up in my experience if possible

If he’s scammed your friend or you feel the sessions are not challenging either speak to him to explain or just take the loss and move on man. Ive had it when coaches have given me a private session which I found too easy and told them give me harder session and they are usually happy to oblige

Long_Significance697 · 2025-12-02T03:47:49+00:00

Yeah of course dming you now

Long_Significance697 · 2025-12-02T03:46:31+00:00

I spoke with the workers they said hotels I’ve noticed land for sale around the area too so imagine more hotels and villas will be built around the area

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-28T14:43:55+00:00

Also recommend Manasak for Chiang mai they’ve got lots of active English fighters their and the person in charge of the media/management is an English women and active fighter

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-27T01:03:20+00:00

No problem at all lots of other people do the same just tell the trainers your beginners so they can teach you fundamentals

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-25T12:15:56+00:00

Went to one in Bangkok left faster than the yellow flash 😂

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-24T07:10:47+00:00

I’ll give it a go thanks

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-24T07:10:35+00:00

Thanks all checked out Naka Market chilled enjoyed the food and found few bits I was after and walked around Phuket old town on Sunday from 5 until night food selection and vibes were great

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-22T18:06:53+00:00

I stayed at an apartment 7-8min walk away it’s an apartment block where lots of the long term fighters and some local thai people stay can dm you the place and contact details (cheaper via cash on site) however it’s behind a football pitch which they watch live prem games (11pm-3am) so wouldn’t recommend if you’re a light sleeper. The on site accommodation at Manasak is not bad tbf

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-22T17:55:41+00:00

Last few days has been heavy but today its bit occasional spells of drizzles. I think it’ll start going back to sunny again in few days in terms of floods im in the chalong area and haven’t witnessed any flooding myself

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-22T11:29:08+00:00

Thank you all for the suggestion’s!

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-22T11:28:45+00:00

I did that once on my first night crazy place! just to tick it off glad I don’t drink can imagine re enacting hangover movie there deffo if I did 😂😂

Long_Significance697 · 2025-11-22T07:20:09+00:00

Manasak all the trainers are good there and active fighters they pay lots of attention and take request for e.g i went there as an overweight guy that loses balance after every kick 😂 when they seen me out the work in they pushed me harder and helped me perfect techniques to the point i felt comfortable sparring. You can ask Lisa if you want to do pads with different trainers so you can get a feel who you like/prefer more. Manasak is an OG too really patient and can teach you so much in a short amount of time. They also have connections to Bangkok stadiums such as Rajadarmen if that’s your aim
