I keep getting emails with the same questions about the Tiger Muay Thai training camp, so I thought I would summarize them in a FAQ sheet:
Q: Are there girls training at Tiger Muay Thai?
A: Yes. I saw girls train at every level and they all seemed to be loving it.
Q: Should I book in advance?
A: I didn't book in advance and I am glad I didn't. You don't know how you will feel after training for long periods of time and also you might want to spend a week or a few days training at the camps nearby (there are two camps really close by that are also good - Phuket Top Team and Dragon Muay Thai). I was there in Sep-Oct so camp wasn't full so make sure you check out availability at camp before you make a decision
Q: Should I pay for the Grill Menu in advance?
A: The people I spoke to that had paid for it thought it wasn't worth it and were disappointed in its value for money. The restaurants nearby all have healthy options for fighters and people looking to lose weight and offer cheaper options. Also, why eat at the same place every day when you have delicious restaurants nearby to choose from?
Q: Should I stay at the camp?
A: Depends on your budget. There are a plethora of choices to choose from, all close to the camp, comfortable and affordable. Staying at the camp is probably the most modest choice.
Q: Should I hire a motor scooter?
A: I did, and I loved it. I hired mine from Mama's and had it for the whole time. People talk about accidents and have horror stories about others losing limbs and crashing, however I just made sure to drive very safely and loved having the ability to drive all over the island or to the local mall for a change of atmosphere.
