Hey guys,
I’m traveling solo to Thailand soon. So far I’ve only booked my flight to Bangkok and 2 nights stay there.
A bit about me:
Fit, train regularly (gym), but no experience in combat sports
Looking to try Muay Thai seriously, not just a one-day thing
Also want a good mix of nightlife / raves / social vibe
At the same time, I’d like some peaceful / reset time (yoga, nature, etc.)
My initial plan was:
Bangkok → Koh Phangan
But I’m not sure if that’s the best route for what I want.
What I’m trying to figure out:
Where should I base myself for Muay Thai training as a beginner?
Is Koh Phangan still good outside of Full Moon Party for social life?
Should I consider places like Phuket or elsewhere instead?
Best way to balance training (discipline) + going out without burning out?
I’m open to moving around if it makes sense, just don’t want to overcomplicate it.
Would really appreciate any suggestions, especially from people who’ve done something similar 🙏
