ok so maestro in thailand for a month, alongside doc and the fam, where to begin...
well first off let me say doc is a great guy, i cant say enough good things about him, his candor is what he would call being an asshole but i was just glad i wasnt the one taking the flack for once lol. honestly he did alot for me out there and in the past, i cant really hope to repay doc but id do anything for him and i feel fortunate to have the experience i did
the rest, his family(vanessa and rich) are great, vanessa is very cute and funny, also her looks of horror as doc recounted many stories to me of his past were priceless, lol just as the stories were. and lil rich is great, im sure with parents like his and the unique perspective he will have will really turn out a special person, if hes anything like either parent we would all be so lucky to know him, and hes very cute aswell.
ahh and the people doc surrounds himself with, friends and acquaintances are very interesting aswell. i had a great time with all of them and was glad to have those experiences and look forward to more next year i hope
ok now for the Muay thai and russboasia facilities, they are imo top notch, even with the removal of a few items the place is very well suited to a overall great fullbody workout. the gym has many nice machines and the atmosphere is great, located in northeastern phuket the place is quiet and safe perfect for either lifting or training or both. i did both, minus 1 week of tonsolitis i was training 5 days a week for a month and lifting 5-6 days a week which is more then usuall for me but it was great, it was the only thing keeping me in decent shape after all the swesons and cookies i ingested on a daily basis
the muay thai coach John who trains doc and others in the past me aswell now is very good. top notch muay thai and hes a great trainer and a great guy. im looking forward to training with him again and i really miss it already, the muay thai facilities is on the second floor of the gym and is an open air hall, its very quiet very nice and peaceful. in low season its windy everywhere and the rain really isnt a problem for the gym or for the thais. theres no need to worry about bringing your own equipment as they have just about everything although if u like go ahead but all the stuff is there
i have a video of john ill be uploading sooner or later i dont have my usb cable for my camcorder so god knows when that will happen but itll happen sooner or later.
as for everything else..food, beaches, girls etc its all great. if your poor and really wanna just blast off to thailand for a month id say get the ticket taken care of and see what doc can do for you at that time, prices for accomodation are higher in the peak season and go down from there, but u never know what youll get into. umm food wise its cheap as hell to eat out, depending on who you are and your appetite the budget will vary, personally i said fuck it and doubled my budget when i got there, its thailand and i love to eat so i spent alot of time going around eating thai food. but again if your looking for super cheap and just wanna be a thai warrior or something u can get a good meal for about a dollar, plate of fried chicken n rice is like 30 baht plus a drink would be around 45-50 so 1-2 dollars for a nice little meal. fruit is cheap, water is cheap, lots of things are cheap. the cheapest places are the local 24/7 type of thai stores they had the lowest prices i could find although "tesco lotus" and carefour and other such places are decent to i got a roasted chicken for 3 bucks one day at 11pm at tesco that was nice cause i was hungry that day and the restaurants were closed.
girls are everywhere, plenty of farang women to bang but becareful they have boyfriends often, the ones that are single always let out the same signals as they do anywhere, if u dont care about that well then just hit on all of them lol. the thai girls are cute, some arent but most are ok, u can go bang the whores in patong or well theres whores everywhere but personally if i was there and was free to do as i please id just bang the local girls, they definately are into farangs and im sure are much cleaner, places to go find local women are pretty much anywhere, the malls, supermarket whatever lol they are dumb and cute and dont know anything, take em out to a movie or something and bring em home
im not speaking from experience...but i doubt its more complicated then that, please god dont let my gf read this or im dead haha
beaches are everywhere, the west side of the island has all the best beaches my favorite was laem sing beach and surin beach. kamala beach was very nice and patong beach i only saw from a distance but looked similar to kamala. bangtao beach i ate at a few times and is also very nice, honestly they're all nice depends on what u wanna do, with good weather i could stay there the whole day and just forget about everything, read a book or drink something fruity i dunno its great though
traffic and all that shit has been reported on by doc several times, its just chaos, i never got hurt or had any problems but u basically just gotta expect the thais will do the dumbest more irrational things possible and you should foresee all the bullshit they WILL do. and going in with that mindset will save u on some aggrovation even though thats inevitable, just remember whether u there for muay thai or to kick back, your still on vacation and whatever hurry you think your in to go wherever, take it easy and be safe
pretty much everything else is what it is. the massages are cheap as hell and are very good... heh and they are everywhere. the clothes can be cheap, imported nike and shit is not bla bla plenty of places to go for mall shopping etc lots of great western food, italian food is amazing there
in a nutshell the place is clean, fun and relaxing. doc is great, anyone lucky enough to spend an extended period of time with him or his family is very lucky and phuket is a great part of thailand to go to
im sure im forgetting lots of crap to comment on but some things are better left alone others are just my own to keep more will come to me and maybe ill comment on them i dunno just giving the report, back in malaysia now and just loafing around gotta get ready to make the rounds to the local muay thai gyms and see whats what and resume life here in KL.
