I’m planning to train at Por Pramuk gym for 1-2 months in the near future.

The problem is that I don’t speak any Thai!

Will I need to learn to speak Thai or would I be able to manage on English?

Would it be incredibly disrespectful to go to Thailand and expect the locals to speak English?

Well, I’m a female and trained at Por Pramuk this past November…I loved it….I’m going back at the end of the year and can’t wait!

The most memorable thing I remember (aside from getting the shit kicked out of me) is partying with the fighters and seeing a Kimodo dragon (or something hella similar) on the afternoon run…oh, yeah and the shit smell…

Gotta love the fighting fish..;)

My bf & I stayed at Por Pramuk for 4 1/2 weeks earlier this year. It IS really intense training, but it’s well worth it. I can honestly say that Por pramuk is one of the best places on earth – both as a gym and as a group of nak muay that are more like a family. We miss everyone so much already & are already planning a trip back… HIGHLY recommended.

The trainer your talking about, i think you mean Ajarn Od..? i didn’t know an Aht there.

hey everyone.

por pramuk is anything but touristy. when i was there, there were four of us. it’s a remote place – nothing is in walking distance – no corner store, internet, etc. it may attract tourists, i don’t know, but i’d be surprised if it keeps them.

my trainer’s name was Aht and yeah, he was great. note, my kicks were in definite need of improvement as i was recovering from a sprained s.i. joint (found out my chiro had been spraining and respraining my s.i. joint – i’ve been having an interesting time with injuries lately)…anyhow, he was joking that he improved them after five minutes. no arguement from me.

,,plank flooring and i think poured concrete with exterior carpet that made my feet bleed.

and the lake…..some days you can swim in it, some days you can’t…it can get prettty filthy….one morning a bloated dead cat floated by.
