thanks, they do a great job!

your'e welcome, glad it was helpful

let me know how it goes!

I am not there anymore but Punch It has great videos showing their accommodations on their website!

Yodyut.

hope it helped!

im planning on going feb 2025 as well

to chateau de lamai it is a side street that is maybe a block off the main road. There are lots of locals who live down that road so it's pretty safe. It does look dark at night but there are street lights. Unfortunately, if you stay outside of Lamai beach everywhere you stay will be a little bit dark at night. I've never heard of anyone having any issues with safety at night though. Hope that helps

yo, yes so I worked from my room, and went to a place called Annie's, or a few other cafes in the area. There's not really a lounge/office area to work from. There weren't any coworking spaces previously in the south but on the north side, there were a couple. The new Punch It cafe could probably serve as a coworking space. It's not a perfect situation overall but it's doable. Yes, they have a weightlifting area, it's not gold's gym by any means but it has everything you need. Hope that helps!

it all depends on your training level. if you have some experience, no problem. they have different levels of fights too depending on your level of expertise.

yes I worked for 3 months while training and had no issues.

just make sure and get a local sim so you can hotspot as needed. Make sure and ask Markus at @Punchitmuaythai for any help you need

@@LostandLore Great, thanks

reach out to Punch It ahead of time and take to Markus. He will give you an idea of if you can fight in the arena or do a smaller fight. It will depend upon your age, fitness level, and fighting experience. If you have some solid experience already and you are in your 20s, you can at least do a smaller fight at the gym. More experience and you can get a fight in the stadium on the island.

the accommodation is more like a hotel room then private room

i didn't train at tiger muay thai so can't say what that experience was like. I think it also depends on what level of fighter you are. At punch it you are going to find some great hospitality and great trainers. If you are a semi-pro or pro then I would suggest investing in private lessons as they will be able to work with you on improving where you want to. Tiger Muay Thai is a lot bigger and seems like they have a really good program for the highest level of fighters. So if you want to do professional fighting or professional MMA training then Tiger is probably the place to go but if you're not a professional fighter then I would look at Punch it. Koh Samui is a smaller island than Phuket too but I found that I enjoyed that everything was a bit closer. Let me know which place you end up choosing.

@@LostandLore OK that makes sense, it dawned on me after watching many reviews that TMT might not be for me as a complete beginner (did judo, karate, and TKD as a kid) I'm going there first of December so I still have time to decide. Thanks for the added insight I will definitely let you know where I decide to go.

​@@zeyadtarig1937 message Markus at Punch It gym and he will answer all of your questions. He is exceptionally helpful

haha that's a funny question! so on Lamai, there is a street where yes that is the case. It's the same in Chaweng. But the island is massive! Is sex tourism there? Yes. Can you avoid it, yes. Just don't go out in those parts of town. You still might see some old dude with a young Thai girl on a bike together or at a restaurant. But overall, there is a large expat community there that isn't involved in that. There are tons of places to go to avoid it as well as a large outdoors + healthy community. I love Koh Samui because of the many hikes, temples, and beaches where you can avoid these things. Plus the locals are super kind outside of those areas plus the costs are lower. Hope this helps you out!

food is very reasonable if you eat at local spots like Nanas or Daras. Can eat a full meal for less that $4 or more western places for around $10 for an all-included meal.

it's fantastic!

it's near lamai on the south east side of the island

let's go!

you can!

@@LostandLore Are you serious i have a cathering shcool diploma train and eat :D ....

no they are not included

hi, thanks for you comment. I'll be frank, all of my reviews are not compensated whatsoever. I have been to this gym 3x in 4 years and I really enjoy the challenging experience. It's not for everyone but it is fun for those who want to try it out. If you review my other videos like Taghazout, I am very positive except for how I feel like maybe women wouldn't always feel comfortable alone there. If you listen to my Selina Porto review, it's mostly positive except for that I didn't like being in a dorm with backpackers. I made the suggestion that they would open up a long-term stay dorm or DN dorm for people who are utilizing co-living. Just wait until my Florence and Zostel videos are finished...those are not very positive reviews at all. So...to answer your question. I'm not like the rest of the digital nomad BS creators who get paid to leave positive reviews. I hope that you found this video to be valuable and that you get the opportunity to train at Punch It gym.

haha oh you noticed that...I was born that way homie :) it's called macrodactelism. Means big finger. Had surgery when I was 3 to remove the growth plate, hence the scare on the outside, otherwise it would've been even bigger.

what do you mean?
