This video and the rest of your vlogs and blogs have honestly been the most helpful sources of information I’ve ever come across when planning a trip! I’ve booked two and a half weeks in February and was so torn between the different camps, accommodations, food options, etc and I feel now I’ll be infinitely more prepared to choose than before! Thanks so much. 🙌
really awesome brother. makes me happy!
Let me know how it goes :-)
Which camp did u go to?
Hey Brad!! I been watching your videos for over 3 months now preparing for my trip to Thailand tomorrow specifically Tiger Muy Thai. Thank you for the Videos!! I'll keep you posted
So awesome! You're welcome ;) keep me posted!!
Hey man!
Thanks a lot for your videos. I'm pretty sure I've seen every single one of them to prepare myself for this trip! I'm currently staying at Tiger Muay Thai for two months!
Anyway, keep it up man and hope to see more videos from you! :D
Thanks my friend!! you will have the time of your life :-)
Wow Brad I loved your video, thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Ive wanted to go fitness street for years, you have given me the kick up the arse to sort it out and go. Planning to go before end of may 2019!
Definitely go :-)
I'm still surprised that it hasn't really had any exposure. It's exactly as the videos portray... such an awesome community of people from all around the world... you'll see when you come :-)
Thanks so much, Brad. Did not realize that there are lots of details to take note for taking a fitness vocation in Tiger Muay Thai training. Very useful for beginners!
It's for Tiger and pretty much applies to most of the other training centres aswell... Based on all the questions I have been getting about it - it was just easier to throw it all into one video. When you are ready to go to Phuket, watch this video again :-) Let me know as I might also be in the area!
Editing is on point and the content is brilliant. Thanks!
Appreciate it ;)
Loving this. Happy holidays, Both!
Thank you so much!!! Sending our best regards to you and an AMAZING happy new year to you!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you for your GOLD advice!
Anytime!!
Mate, I’m here now. This video really helped!
Thank you
That's awesome! where are you training now? Tiger?
Brad Newton Vlogs
Yeah, for three weeks! Also eaten at Cocoville, Ali bbq and Thai Thai reataurant! Keep the vlogs coming!
that's awesome man! I love those places!!!
Thanks so much man, so helpful
You're welcome :-)
Awesome vlog mate I’m heading to tiger in July for 2 weeks so this has answered a lot of my questions already. Keep up the good work mate. 👍🏽
Thanks brother. Keep me updated. I might be in the area ;)
Yeah mate will do for sure.
Awesome :-)
Myself and a friend going out for some beginner classes in the next few months. This guide has been great, thanks!
Anytime ;) you'll love it! How long are you coming for?
@@BradNewton Just two weeks - We are both noobs having done about 5 lessons so far...Totally addicted to MT though!
Do the fitness classes too ;)
Make the most of the entire street. So many amazing places to eat at along the street. Let me know how it goes ;)
I've been thinking about moving to Thailand for a couple of months just to train at tiger muay thai and see how's living there cause I've always been attracted to the lifestyle. Honestly, this was a big part of the info I needed! Thanks so much, such an amazing video, now I'm pretty sure that I'll go there soon🌻
so awesome!! you won't regret it... hopefully the rest of the videos I put out will give you greater perspective and choice with your training.
Phuket is very tourist centered and expensive, you would be better of going to Bangkok or Chiang mai.
I remember watching this video more than a year ago! Still very helpful! Miss you guys and The Soi
you think you'll ever come back man?
@@BradNewton One day....... It's incredibly difficult to schedule something like that with multiple children
That was very helpful and insightful, thank you.
No problems :) you planning a trip there?
It's definitely on my radar, at this stage I have a flight booked to BK in Feb. Haven't been to Phuket before.
Thanks for your helpful videos.. I'm looking at going over to Thailand next year.. I'll be 47 and have just got back in muay thai after 10yrs off.. Been keeping up with my boxing training.. Looking at maybe Rawai muay thai.. Thanks again guys for the tips.
Anytime :-) Awesome to hear you are getting back into it!! It probably won't take long to get into the rhythm again. I will try and get up to Khao Lak to see Rawai if I get a chance... let me know how it goes!
Great video. Very helpful for those, like myself, planning a trip to TMT. Thanks so much guys
anytime Connor! When are you planning on going?
@@BradNewton hoping to go in October. Thinking of doing a week at tiger and a week at one of the other gyms. Sinbi or sumalee maybe. Still undecided. Looking forward to it
Definitely do a week at Tiger... I haven't trained at those other two gyms... are they nearby?
@@BradNewton they're both in phuket. Sinbi is soi suayan 9, in rawai. Not sure where sumalee is. Had looked at sitsongpeenong too but think their Bangkok gym is a lot better. Need to train hard this year to make it worthwhile going. These videos are brilliant. Great insight
I'll definitely look them up on the next vlog trip there.
Anytime :-)
Super Muay Thai video, just keep moving forward and never give up you guys! 💪🏻
Thanks Alex :-) Have you trained on this street before? Merry Christmas :-)
Brad Newton Vlogs Yes I’m and i trained this street before and it really amazing, healthy too as well! 🙂❤️
It was life changing for me!!
Thank you so much will be joining them next month now I know
that's so awesome!! you'll have the time of your life!!
Lol ain't no 'man' be walking around the Soi with hand wipes 😁 Great video man! Love it! Might see you on the Soi next time round.
haha that's it brother... for sure! Let me know in advance!
so detail, thats brother!

Great video. Thanks for the link to the camera you used and everything else.
You're welcome :-)

Training in the humidity there is mental! Easy to over train there for sure
Great video thanks for sharing

Great detailed video
thanks a ton :-)
Great video. Thinking of going. It's the next step I need.
Agh yep. Just read this :-)
When are you coming? You will love this place!!!
@@BradNewton it's on my list...I need a fitness holiday. I must try and recruit my brother in Sydney to come with ...hes been there before. Greetings from Chicago. Get the teeth done to !
Definitely definitely definitely go!! Hahaha
There's a place on fitness st that will take care of your teeth!!
This Video is great you're a hero Brad
Glad it helped out ;) planning a trip there?
Yes, im looking forward to improve my muay thai
Let me know if you decide to train there. I might be in the area ;)
Thanks, this video really helps. Currently planning my trip 😎
Anytime ;)
What are your current plans now?
@@BradNewton possibly 3 weeks in Phuket, train every day at TMT. I haven't got dates yet, not too fussed about when i travel there as i live in the tropics and the weather wont be an issues for me.
totally awesome! The training goes on rain, hail or shine :-)
Keep me posted!
Amazing 👌
thanks brother! Just a few tips for people wanting to go that amazing place :-)
This great info. I missed this video somehow
Just started a facebook group for fitness st ;)
Great video. :) Just got back from 2 weeks at TMT but will be using some of these tips when I go back! (I'm guilty of over-training and not taking electrolytes!)
Thanks a heap! Yeah I've definitely done the over-training thing myself.. :-P
Over enthusiastic haha
Those electrolytes from the Pharmacy on the same street are a life saver!!
Could you say something about expenses per day (aside from training packages and accomodation), like how much money per week do you spend on food and stuff?
Hey man... saw this comment somewhere else and answered it :-)
Love you man
big love back brother
You are wonderful People very nice video
🙏
Thanks for the very informative video.
Anytime :-) Planning to go there?
Brad Newton Vlogs Yes, I’m heading there April of this year. Can’t wait. Just watched your no training day video of your trip to Kata Beach, I’m looking forward to doing something similar on non training days. Thanks again for your videos.
it's a pleasure man... will release a couple more "no training day" adventures as a few people have asked about things to do on Sundays (where nobody trains along the street)
Bringing back memories watching this bro
planning to return?
@@BradNewton one day mate
Hey mate, heading to tiger Muay Thai for 3 months in March, finding your videos awesome and very helpful. Thank you. Keep up the good work!! PS do you think buying a package from tiger is worth it?
You'll love it!!! I've spoken to a few guys that bought the package and wish they hadn't. It wasn't until they arrived that they learned of all the amazing food places along this street...! But i have no personal experience as I've always purchased a weekly pass, casuals, or privates. What other places have you looked at?
How long did you stay there? Did you apply for an ED visa or did you do a run every month? Thank you, great content! all the best!
Beauty and the beast...lol hand wipes brad my man the savage...lol thanks for the video .
anytime!
Robin is a natural for Muay Thai.
But her true strength is Pilates :-)
sweet vid
Thanks brother ;)
Thanks for your video
I'm in the early stages of planning to do a month of training over there. Do you know if accommodation food and accommodation is cheaper elsewhere or less hassle to get a package ?
Thanks again
Probably less hassle to get a package but most people I've spoken to that have gotten a package wished they didn't. Can't speak from experience but thinking of getting a package just so I can review it. When are you going?
Hey guys, Great video! I was wondering how you actually select which accomodation you want? Im looking on the website and you basically choose a package and pay, no choice of which camp or villa. Do you just choose upon arrival or do they allocate you? Cheers for all the info!
I just checked their website... It appears as though you can select the accommodation type from the drop-down menu.
I went here: www.tigermuaythai.com/online-booking
And click on "choose accommodation"
There are 5 options to choose from.
Good luck :-)
Thank you a lot for the great inputs. How long does it take to go to the next beach by scooter ? Or is it better to go by taxi?
If you are comfortable on a scooter, around 20 minutes or so to the south. The Patong side is around 30 or so minutes. Taxis only if you don't feel comfortable but they are expensive!
Wow awesome.
I think tiger muay thai is just a game in sparring & sports.
I want to train in tiger muay thai
And mma.
I hope you will teach me.
I definitely can't teach but try and get down to Tiger or one of the other gyms in the area :-)
I am planning to train for 6 months at a small rural gym in Korat. Definitely a different feel from Tiger, and I am wondering what to expect from my experience.
Hi, thank you for this video. Great help. Did they offer training programs to suit?... Like a written program for training, gym, food and rest etc?... Sounds like you guys just went and did what you wanted as you please. So I wonder if they offer/help you with a schedule/program almost like a personal trainer would do. Cheers
I believe they have coaches onsite that you can book consultations with... i did see a sign on the wall where you could book with them. Yeah we did what we wanted because i wanted to create alot of vlogs to give everyone a goos insight to what to expect ;)
Brad Newton Vlogs thanks for your help, appreciate it!! Safe travels
You're welcome :-)
Hi guys, love the videos, looks an amazing gym, debating on wether to train here or Khongsittha gym. Help me decide!! 😅
Thanks a ton! Never been to Khongsittha but Tiger is basically in a "fitness village" where all of the eateries and restaurants are catered for the people that train along the street.
Have you been to a training camp in Thailand before?
It does sound amazing to be honest. Just deciding wether I want the bustle of the city or calmness of the beach while I train. Iv never been to Thailand but Iv done MMA for years at a decent pro level so I’m hoping to take Muay Thai serious too. Is it worth doing the packages or not?
Packages with accommodation and food? Alot of guys have told me they'd rather do training only and stay somewhere nearby and eat the food off Soi Taied (fitness st). Phuket is hardcore but you have the luxury of the beaches/islands. In BKK, it is hardcore with no beach to run to on Sunday ;( and BKK gets full on with traffic during peak hour (can take several hours to cross the city!)
Hi, i'm planning on going out there soon for 2-3 weeks for purely training. What is your recommendation for the amount of money to take and while you're out there what do you do with your money? Do any of the shops, restaurants and gyms take cards or do you need to take excess amounts of cash to last a few weeks?
There are plenty of ATM machines there to withdraw from. I usually just withdraw what I need for the week. I wouldn't take 3 weeks worth of cash (unless you are travelling to a less developed country where ATMs are few and far between, and not reliable). Pretty much the bigger training centres have eftpos machines - so you can usually pay for your training on card. Private sessions at some gyms, I'll pay cash.
With food (at smaller restaurants), I usually just pay cash. Budget for around $20-30 USD per day for food (modest). You can do it cheaper it just depends on how fancy (western) you are with food choices.
ShOwEr after training EssEnTiaL 100% if staying on camp, should try Sumalee Boxing Gym next time you go Phuket 🙏 👏 🇦🇺
i definitely will... i didn't get a chance when i was there. Ran out of time!
Greetings from Chicago
Big love to Chicago!!! Never been there :-)
Looking to come to Thailand?
@@BradNewton where in OZ are you based. Going to be in Sydney area I hope soon.....love to do a semi fitness holiday....any recommendation?...
If I get my way Thailand in couple months....
In Melbourne ;) so a place in Melb/Sydney to train like fitness street in Phuket? Don't have any haha... how long are you here for? I would def pick phuket over melb/syd for training camps anyday! Let me know when you get to Phuket!
What is the cost of a few days training at Tiger Muay Thai, and how much money would you recommend I should bring if I made the Trip to Phuket?
I believe it costs around 900 baht for a "day pass" but if you are going just for the Muay Thai and want to taste it, I'd just to the drop in for a single class. From memory, it's around 400 baht. I made a travel guide video covering all the expenses around training on Fitness street for a month here - czcams.com/video/hHcgFBl2qW8/video.html
This is just making more excited for my trip there. Is there a big language barrier, or do a lot of people in the area speak English?
You won't have an issue on Fitness street :)
@@BradNewton oh thank god, I barely have a command of my own native language, learning a new one is a whole other story 🤣
Lovin the vids man, question on the laundry subject probably a dumb one. Does the cost per kg include any detergent/softener/etc? Or is that just to run the machine? Thanks
Definitely not a dumb question. Usually 30 baht for laundry + 10 baht for powder. Usually 40 baht per KG of laundry on fitness street :-)
Hi Brad,
do you have a video or a guide on the daily prices?
I would like to go to Tiger Muay Thai, but I don't know wether I have enough money for 4 weeks. I intend to take the all-inclusive basic package (all classes, accomodation, prepaid meal card). How much food will the meal card cover? How much money do you spend on a daily basis for food and stuff?
Do you need equipment aside from gloves?
To be honest, I don't have a daily price guide nor am I sure of how much food is covered. You are best emailing TMT. I think a daily food budget for the street for around $20-30 AUD is reasonable. You could go cheaper it just depends on how lavish you eat.
Don't need any equipment as you can buy or rent it :-)
@@BradNewton Thank you! I have a healthy appetite, so I will calculate 30 AUD then :)
perfect!
Where will you guys spend the new year eve?
hey man!! I think we are going to spend it in Landgraaf in the Netherlands!! We are still talking about it but most likely take a car there for a few days :-) what are your plans?
End of BNV marathon...
haha that is awesome! :-)
I see you have been to tmt and aka mate. Which one would you prefer for a beginner going for 3 months. Maybe one which is more central?
Both are awesome. Tmt is more central! You'll meet more people (great for solo travelling) and is on the street where you have access to unlimited healthy food restaurants/cafes etc. Aka is a little further out and has no infrastructure around it (which is also great if you want the "training in a jungle" feel)
@@BradNewton have you got any recommendations on somewhere affordable for a 3 month stay. Cheers mate
Yep - check out Ruan Rom Mai Bungalow
It is across the road from TMT and it costs around 10000-15000 Baht a month. Pay on a month to month basis.
Please the golves are given or you bought it ?
I bought my own but on a rare occasions, I will rent. I don't like the idea of renting gloves...
Coconut: 50 baht is actually 2.20 AUD.
That's right.. thanks for picking that up :)
Hello bro
Are there any halal food places for Muslims to eat and or any mosques close by appreciate your response
0:24 that dog lol
haha yep he is a local mascot :-)
Hi guys I was wondering if you’s got travel and sports insurance that covered contact sport injuries while yous were there?
I didn't know you could get contact sport insurance! Robyn and I usually use World Nomad insurance with additional insurance if we do adventure stuff... not sure if contact sport is covered under the normal coverage?? Let me know what you find...!
@@BradNewton yer combat sports are not covered. I'm aussie and went through a travel agent and she thought I could get covered but nope, which doesn't bother me as we choose this sport fully aware of the possible injuries 😅 watching all your videos brad, so helpful thank you
You're welcome :) i have looked into it since our messages. You're right... we accept the muay thai potential consequences. I would have to check but it looks like world nomads cover contact sports at Level 2 coverage. I would have to call them to confirm though
@@BradNewton I'm covered by cover more travel insurance. It's the flight agency go to insurance company. I think the more you worry about getting injured the higher the chances of it happening haha
haha yeah you are right!!
Have the best time :-)
you got anything on visas? planning on staying for 3 months
Depends on your passport... you'll have to check that online. Usually 2 months with an extension for an extra month with a border run but you'll need to check your own passport.
Wat would you recommend….tiger Muay Thai or tiger beach side?
At the moment, Beachside is not open so Tiger it is. However, I suggest also checking out Bangtao Muay Thai MMA gym.
I’m booked in to Bangtao Muay Thai for 3 months starting in April 1st… I was just thinking about go to training in tiger for a week.
Thanks Brad 👍🏻
🙏✌️👍🤙
Do they have western boxing there?
they certainly do. It's a split class now (beginner & advanced)
Hi how far is your hotel to tmt camp? Because there's tmt beach side also. I am planning to stay for 3months training. How much. Does. Your hotel cost?
Coco retreat (where we filmed this vlog) is about a 10 minute scooter ride to the main TMT training centre. If you don't want to hire a scooter, you could also stay at Cocoville (really nice place, stayed there before aswell) - it's a 10 min walk!
Check out this review I did on Coco retreat- czcams.com/video/MvnkyA0pZ44/video.html
@@BradNewton thank you man =) looking forward for more vlogs you do.
Thanks a heap!! Got a few more lined up!! keep in touch :-)
@@BradNewton hey man I'm looking at going at the end of the year. Do they give you lots of attention in the beginners class? Also are all the tiger camps running distance to the training facilities?
Not as much as you'd like... It is very high turn-over, especially during the beginning of the week. There are trainers that float around and will correct obnoxious flaws in your technique. But getting a private session once you've spent 1-2 weeks working on your conditioning, is the best choice. One camp is on campus. Not sure about ALL of their camps but there are definitely a few that are within walking distance.
Where’s your tank top from?
Hey Jess!! that came from the store across the road from the Italian restaurant on fitness street (around Unit 27) - a small Thai store selling them for a few hundred Baht :-)
is PTT better than TMT
Both are great in their own way. If you want a smaller, less crowded place to train then PTT. Depends on the type of training you plan on doing (Tiger has a solid strength and functional training program).
What package did you choose?
I've done both the all inclusive (Muay Thai plus fitness classes) and stand alone Muay Thai (no fitness classes included)... Depends on what you are coming for. I've never stayed on campus, just nearby places which I've done separate videos on. How long you coming for?
@@BradNewton i wanted to do a month. I am currently looking at the all inclusive: Standard.
Can't go wrong! Not there at the moment. Doing some videos on my home country. Will return soon ;)
Is it just me or does this guy kind of look like Calvin Kattar?
haha he's a beast
Do you know what fitness street and the gyms are like for LGBT travellers? I know Patpong has a large LGBT community.
All sorts of people train here- all shapes and sizes, all ages and experience levels. You have nothing to worry about :-)
If travelling solo - no issues at all (you'll meet people fast!)
Tiger commercial lol. hope you got paid by them
I wish! For the love of the vlog and the tons of questions i get... i can just point to this video
i feel so annoyed when the kid crying out loud for long time in the background...!!!! phewww...!!!
it was extremely loud on my end!
@@BradNewton and you guys can't say even to their parents.. that's more annoying..
i gone through this type of situations...
