Ok to make it clear what i mean ill answer each alone
1)
a proper thai gym should be an established gym in thailand with long standing history of producing top quality fighters that fight at the main stadiums.

2) Its a new gym, its an american gym, not thai. I dont rate the padwork in their videos at all, very much geared to fun.

3)The people that have been talk about it like it was a pleasant holiday and seem to come back kicking a lot but not much else. They dont say anything bad about it, but they havent trained anywhere else bar one girl from the UK that i met at a gym in bangkok, after training a day in the bangkok gym her words were "bloody hell" lol

4) Of the ones you may find online i have been to Fairtex, sor vorapin, sasiprapa, jittis, bangkok fight club, chu whattana, nongkee pahayuth ive been to several other smaller gyms you wont find quite so easily. i was in thailand for 3 years so got about a bit.

Id avoid fairtex (holiday camp) sorvorapin(a complete joke) the others are ok. bangkok fight club is a waste of time if you dont know the trainers but if you get to know them then good.

1) What qualifies a gym as a "proper thai gym" in your opinion?

2) If you have never been there, how do you know it doesn't meet the criteria (I am asking this without knowing what actually makes it proper)

3) What were the positives and negatives from the people who you know that went?

4) What gyms have you been to in Thailand that you would recommend?

Thanks again.

Dan
