Post by: Twisty on February 09, 2011, 02:51:58 AM
Hi my names Matt, im 20 and im a noob when it comes to thailand!!! but cant wait to explore and experience some more :)
I was in BKK for 3 weeks last year and i am looking into heading to Buriram in the near future, if not buriram somewhere in isaan. Generally to just live and study muay thai. i would greatly appreciate any advice :) im looking to come over for as long as i last, look into renting a place near a good gym where i can get my head down and train HARD with no or as few as possible distractions. not looking for a tourist gym.

If you are looking at studying Muay Thai there is a famous gym in Nong Ki district in Buriram.

Not sure exactly where it is but you may wish to send a Pm to Nookiebear. He may know.

Young Matt is about as far removed, physically, from the likes of Nookie as you can get. Still, sound advice about Nong Ki.

And I sure Starman would want to be ANY shape other than Nookie if he reaches his age !

Twisty, About 4 or 5 hundred metres from the only set of traffic lights in Nong Ki,on the main road back towards Korat(Nakhon Ratchasima), on the left side there is a sign for the gym down the side street (soi).I've never been down there and whether this is the famous gym I wouldn't know.I should be in Nong Ki in about 2 weeks. I will check it out and post something here.

Needn't be too ashamed Matt. You'd be in fine company, as the long-time old hands are still suckered in at every turn. whistle loco bigcry
