(gentle guitar music)
- Yes, yes now.
- Cheers! - Cheers, Tiger Muay Thai!
Good morning guys, 23rd of October 2019.
I'm at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside, I'm gonna give you
a room tour of Tiger Muay Thai Beachside's Hivetel.
It's the refurbished shipping container accommodation
that you'll probably be staying at if you decide to come
to Tiger Muay Thai Beachside to train.
So, this video is gonna be a walking tour of our room,
gonna show you exactly what you're gonna get
if you decide to stay at Hivetel
and all the facilities of that's inside our room.
I do a separate video where I take everyone
on a walking tour of Tiger Muay Thai Beachside,
I'll take you around in that video around here,
I'll show you all these training facilities over there.
So that deck is strength and conditioning,
MMA and yoga is up there.
The gym is over there in that corner and of course
the Muay Thai training shed is just through there.
We have the fountain here and of course the swimming pool
wraps around this accommodation, but I do a proper,
full walking tour in a separate video.
I'll link it up, it's gonna be like 20 minutes long,
I apologise but, it's everything you need to know
that I can remember.
Maybe I've forgotten a couple of things,
but anyway I wanna quickly say not paid
or sponsored to make this video.
I get a lot of questions about
what's the training like here?
What's the accommodation like here?
What does the room look like?
And so I just make videos for guys like you watching this
that have questions.
I do this for fun, I love making videos,
I love sharing my training journey.
No one's paying me to make this (laughs)
so I pay full price, minus the 30% discount on the website,
which by the way, if you go to Tiger Muay Thai Beachside
at the moment as I shoot this,
'cause this is such a brand new facility,
I think they're still, maybe, not sure when you're gonna be
watching this video but when I booked this accommodation
for Robyn and I, we paid $330 Australian dollars
for six nights, $340 Australian dollars
for six nights through Booking.com.
You can actually find this place on Booking.com,
that's where I booked it, lets see what the room looks like,
but before I go into our room here, room seven,
I'll show you the general layout of Hivetel.
So, this hotel is actually really, really awesome.
I actually personally like it because they have actually
taken shipping containers, actual shipping containers
and they've refurbished them into livable spaces for people
to stay in while they're going through their training
journey here at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
They've actually used like a beehive theme,
so this is like a beehive, it's a circular building
and all the shipping containers are stacked top and bottom,
side to side.
As you can see there are multiple levels, four levels here
and we're staying on the third level
and you can see these are shipping containers,
side to side, top to bottom.
And you'll see that this staircase here actually links
all of the levels together so I guess
if you're in a wheelchair, you won't have a problem.
It might be a bit of a fun ride coming down that ramp
if you're in a wheelchair but it's literally a ramp
all the way down to the swimmer bar just there.
So the swimmer bar which I talk about in other videos
is actually, so on the ground level you have the pool,
so the swimmer bar, you see all the submerged chairs.
Little bar, they serve protein shakes there,
it's pretty rad, 120 baht for a protein shake.
That pool actually wraps around the other side
under those big fountains which I cover in other videos.
Yeah, and this is the building
like we have a bar on our ground level.
So, there's a pool table and a foosball table and all that,
but anyway, have a close look.
This is the exterior shot of the rooms
and they've themed it like a honey bee, like a beehive.
So you actually feel like a you're in a beehive I guess.
And they've themed the colours
so like it's orange and black like a bee.
So this is our room, I'll take you in.
(door beeping)
So this is exactly what the room looks like.
I'll close this door. (door closes)
So, I'll just put the card in,
so our room has air-conditioning,
I'm pretty sure they all have air-conditioning,
but just check on Booking.com, just to,
maybe they have a couple of rooms
that don't have air-conditioning, but I don't think so.
I think they're all air-conditioned.
But, our bed is pretty much left and right
of the shipping container, as you can see it's literally,
it's so rad isn't it?
It's such a cool concept,
I am personally very impressed by this.
This is the bathroom here, take you in.
Bathroom is a bathroom so, modern facilities, very clean
and two shower heads and hot water
and by the way, watch this.
If you look closely, you can look through there
and you'll see the training floor just there.
That's the strength and conditioning where
that cleaner is right now,
that's where they do the strength and conditioning classes.
So you can literally while you're having a shower,
you can (laughs) watch, not that you'd want to,
but I'm just, it's pretty funny
like how close everything is here.
Anyway, so I'll take you out to the balcony.
So, this balcony here, as you walk out of the balcony,
you won't really see it on this camera,
I'll have to change to the other camera,
but you'll actually see the Muay Thai training centre there,
the strength and conditioning area there
and we just hang all our stuff here.
'Cause when you're training and you're sweating,
you just need to hang your stuff somewhere,
so we just hang our stuff on the balcony here
and this is our view.
So, we've obviously, your view's gonna look different
depending on which side of the building you're staying at,
but this is, hello!
They're very friendly people here.
So this is the pool, amazing pool,
little water fountain there.
Those little deck chairs, obviously when you're on
the balcony here people look up and you can look down
and when people are training they can see you
and you can see them, like it's a very personal, intimate,
so just letting you know that that's,
if you don't like people staring at you
while you're on the balcony, then you may request
to stay on the other side, I don't know
like this is exactly it guys.
It is a circular building and you could get views
that are more lakeside I guess.
Anyway, so they're training down there at the moment,
I'll take you back inside,
it's already a seven minute video, jeez.
All right, so this is our bed.
The bed is very, very comfortable
and there is charging facilities here
so if you're not familiar with Thailand,
you got the classic two prong connection.
I plug my laptop in there, my phones, everything.
They have a USB here as well, they have bed lamps,
right, you know, just showing you everything.
And then our bed actually, the curtain's solid
so you can get complete darkness in this room,
but you open this curtain right up and obviously
if you sleep close enough to the edge,
people down there can see you (laughs),
but it's never a problem here for us because,
oh, I better open that up because there's no light
because there's actually only 13 people staying
in this entire resort as I film this now.
So, it actually does feel like a private resort here
which is why I love this place so much
because at the moment I feel like when I'm training
I just want a little bit of privacy when I'm resting
or in the pool or whatever, I love people
don't get me wrong, but just sometimes it's nice
to be a little bit secluded and isolated
and have personal space and everything
and this is perfect for that.
I don't know how much longer this place will be quiet
and exclusive until everyone discovers this place,
but anyway, let's continue on.
So, look there's a you know, I mean look there's a TV,
I don't know, I don't watch the TV, I don't watch TV
but it is here.
There's a fridge, a little, tiny fridge
which has bottles of water, they supply all the water here
which is great and I think they're meant to have
like a coffee, a kettle here, but there's no kettle here.
Little work desk here, in terms of how quiet this room is,
like it's really, really, quiet because I guess
there's no one here so the walls are literally thin.
But I don't know how good that is for noise,
like insulation, I really don't know
but as I said to you before,
"There's only 13 people staying in this entire resort."
I asked the staff yesterday, so maybe if it's a full house
it might be a very different story.
Let's go outside.
Actually, before I forget, I wanna show you,
there's another type of room that you can book
if you decide to stay here.
I saw this on Booking.com and ironically enough,
the staff actually leave the doors open
to some of these rooms.
I don't know, I think they just want me
to take you in there.
Hello, how are you?
So, these rooms here, this is another option you can book.
If you have a look in there, you'll see that they've got
these bunk style rooms.
There's three beds here and they've got the bathroom
and the balcony exactly like my room that you just saw,
but they've literally got three, they can stay three people
and you won't see on my camera,
I'll have to use my other camera to show you
with the lighting and stuff, but they got like little
power point facilities there, bottle of water
and they've got places where you can put all your stuff,
so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to go in here,
but like that's quite decent, that's quite a decent space.
But anyway, have a look and the bedding here
based on my room is really, really, good.
Like the mattresses are really good quality,
probably 'cause it's brand new.
So anyway, this is another room type that you can book,
probably on Booking.com or whatever,
so, anyway if you have any questions let me know.
If you want to see other videos that I've shot of Beachside
or Tiger Muay Thai the Main Campus,
check out those other videos.
If you're looking at training at other Muay Thai camps
in Thailand or Phuket specifically,
I've done heaps of videos at where to eat,
where to train, blah, blah, blah.
Like our personal journey, my journey, Robyn's journey.
Check those videos out, share them with people
that you think might get some value out of them
and as always thanks again for following the journey
and I hope you enjoy this video
and I hope you get some value out of it.
I'm getting goosebumps as I speak now,
because I really do love doing this.
So, see you in my daily video that I'm about to shoot now,
so ciao guys, bye.
