- Good morning world, 21st of October, 2019.
It is a Monday, kicking off the video here
at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
It is day one of their training adventures here
at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
It's the second week of training
in our Fitness Street Soi Taied training series.
Even though Beachside is not on Fitness Street,
it's probably like a five to 10-minute scooter ride.
I'm gonna call it part of the Fitness Street Series
but we're at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
It is seven o'clock in the morning
and we're starting our day with coffees,
Robs is just over there.
And we're about to do a beginner Muay Thai class here,
we'll give you the highlights of that class.
And then, yeah, we're here for a week,
we've paid for the all inclusive fitness package,
$490, Australian dollars.
We're staying at what they call the Hivetel,
which looks like that, actually, it's like a beehive,
renovated, also refurbished shipping containers.
So we're staying here for a week
for $320, Australian dollars, at the accommodation.
Where are now in the restaurant downstairs,
there's really nice fountains and this lap pool here
which is surrounding our restaurant,
the main restaurant here, TV
and just really nice lounge areas.
Essentially, because I'm gonna take you
through this whole place, give you proper tour videos
and share the training experience here.
So if you're interested in training
at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside,
the next five to 10 videos, probably gonna help you decide
what to do if you decide to come here.
So we'll share our personal experience here.
Otherwise, yeah, we're getting ready,
in the next 50 minutes, for our first Muay Thai class here
and then we might do a Muay Thai class this afternoon,
we might do one of the strength and conditioning classes,
if you've seen their website, they've got a whole timetable
of all sorts of things you can do out here.
Western boxing, all sorts of stuff.
So anyway, time to have a coffee
and I'll see you guys very soon.
Okay, so beginner Muay Thai, Tiger Muay Thai Beachside,
no one is here, I think there's
like a couple of people running around,
the class starts in 30 minutes.
This is what it looks like, this is the training facility
right here with nobody here,
first to arrive,
so we're gonna give you the highlight of this class.
But, yeah, this is what it looks like,
unfiltered, no editing, right here.
This is the only main training facility here
for Muay Thai.
So it's quite a big space, three rings,
lots of bags, couple of mirrors down there,
tour facilities, oh, your ice bath there too
I think we do the ice bath, after the class,
but I'm not sure if it's every day of the week.
And then there is the accommodation
and then there's where they do all the strength training
and they have a store.
I'm not sure what that is.
We just go here last night so, still finding our feet.
So yeah, it's quite removed and peaceful
and, oh, basketball court right here.
So basketball court and then ice bath
is straight through here.
Which is empty, they fill it up though.
And you hold on to, you actually hold on to,
they make you hold on to the ice box, apparently,
but this is the ice bath right here.
Pretty rad, it's quite big
and the ice bath is right next to the training facility.
Sunny, right?
Enough of me talking, gonna give you some highlights,
probably go back to the cafe
'cause the class starts in 20 minutes
but there's no one here so I think people roll up
maybe five minutes before class starts, I don't know.
Or maybe 'cause it's a Monday morning
people are still waking up, but I'm pretty pumped, so.

The first time I've been here.
And yeah, this is my buddy,
he keeps filming or making videos.
- We just met.
- Yeah, so I decided to come here to Beachside.
- When do you go home?
- In two weeks.
I'm for two weeks now here, two weeks more
and I go back.
But, also keep on training, make no mistakes,
no beer, no alcohol, no cigarettes.
- Two weeks no smoking.
- Two weeks no smoking, yeah.
- Congratulations, after 22 years.
- After 22 years, that's right, yeah.
- Good on you man.
- Okay, thank you very much.
- All right guys, about to have breakfast here
at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
This is the little restaurant area.
Getting the American breakfast, I'll show you the menu,
show you what it looks like, right here.
So you have a choice of Continental, Asian or American,
it's 150 baht per person.
Unlimited coffee, is that right Robs?
We get unlimited coffee and unlimited tea?
(background noise drowns out speaker)
- Wow.
Some tea, want some tea.
- Just wanted a muffin right here.
Here you go, hot tea, hot water.
- [Robyn] An Americanno with milk.
- [Brad] I love this, look at this coffee machine.
- It's nice, hey? - It's rad.
- [Robyn] We gonna get this for our house?
- We're gonna take it home with us.
(soft music)
Not sure how well you can see me
and it's at 11 o'clock in the morning,
it's Monday, Tiger Muay Thai Beachside,
welcome back to the vlog.
This is our room.
I'll do a proper room tour later.
Our room is just on the other side of this wall here,
right through there, number seven.
The whole idea of the refurbished shipping containers
is pretty awesome, I'm impressed with that.
After I should get a better look
of what the shipping container looks like on the outside.
Look at that, it's pretty rad, huh?
I'll show you a quickly, there's a spiral racetrack
that connects all of the rooms together.
The whole idea of it is being like a bee hive
and you can see why when you, and I'll show you.
All the rooms arranged in a circular manner
and this racetrack connects everything together,
spirals all the way down to the bar
which is a Suma Bar, it's been called.
Anyway, we're gonna go for a swim
in the little pool that's around here.
Let me show what that's like.
(sentimental music)
Got Armando.
- Hello.
- From California in the house.
- Yeah.
- Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
- Yeah, that's right, the best place.
- He's going home today,
that's why I'm filming this, as a memory.
We met last night, actually, we checked in last night,
this man gave us a short tour.
And he almost works here, I mean, look at this.
I mean, that says if you look at that very quickly,
it says trainer.
Back to Iraq.
- Back to Iraq, yeah.
- Are you coming back?
- In a year, but I'll be going home,
I got six more months and then I go home,
back home to Texas.
- Oh, man.
Next time I'm in Texas, I'm gonna drop by your house.
- Please, please do, you always got a place to stay.
- Yeah, Robyn and I, we talked about doing a road trip,
we talked about this off camera,
from Colorado to Texas.
- Perfect.
- So it will be pulling up in your backyard in our van,
in our van.
- Uh-huh, the trailer and the stakes and everything--
- I want a Texas beef, mate.
Before I let you go.
- Okay.
- Top tips, one or two tips
to anyone that's wanting to come out here and train,
they've never been to Thailand before,
what would you suggest, as a tip, couple of tips?
Never been here before.
- Mn, couple of tips?
Don't be scared, come out, the instructors are here
to help you become better.
So put that fear of thinking
you're gonna get your face punched in or anything like that,
it's actually the complete opposite,
they're actually very good coaches
and they work with you in whatever your level is,
they're gonna push you to the next level.
Don't be afraid to be very open about yourself here,
especially here at Tiger Beachside,
everybody is, it's a team kind of atmosphere,
not a single person or a clique,
you read on a lot of these websites,
it's the complete opposite.
Everybody here is willing to push you and make you better.
So come with an open mind and ready to train.
- And have fun guys.
And enjoy these great facilities
because I rolled up last night,
and I've been saying this throughout the videos.
Oh, where is everyone?
There's no one here except maybe a dozen people, max.
- Yeah, it's great, it's perfect.
- Look at that, there's no one in the pool.
Anyway, thanks mate. - There will be though,
there will be.
- It's great to meet you man.
- Appreciate it. - It's great to meet you.
- I've ordered for two in the afternoon,
day one of our adventures here at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
For now we're gonna take these push bikes bicycles
out for a spin.
We're just here at Beachside right now,
we're gonna go for a spin.
And I'll see you later.
Nice knowing you.
(quirky music)
Trying to figure the stand business.
- [Robyn] Go on Brads, you can do it.
- Guys.
I have no promise with motorbikes.
- [Robyn] What you doing Brads?
- Okay, so there's Phuket Fight Club just there.
That's Phuket Fight Club, Robs.
Just around the corner from Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
Oh, look at this place.
Ah, this looks.
Look at this.
- [Robyn] Oh, there's Coffee and Bistro,
he told us about that.
- [Brad] He's got the cow on the front.
Coffee and Bistro. - This just looks really cute.
- Meh, we gonna go on there.
Book mark that place.
- Tony's Restaurant here on Fitness Street
and our coconuts have just arrived.
If you've never heard of Chinese restaurant,
definitely come check this place out.
These coconuts are huge for 50 baht,
I'll show you, convert it in your local currency.
Right there, 50,
right there.
(soft music)
All right, home stretch, almost back at the Hivetel,
accommodation we're staying at
at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
It is 20 past four, on this bicycle.
I've been riding for about 15 minutes now.
So out of interest, for some of you guys
might be curious to know that it's
about 15-minute bicycle ride
between Tiger Muay Thai Beachside and Fitness Street.
So if you were to walk it'd probably take you 40 minutes
or something like that, but yeah, definitely accessible.
All right, a little bit of a workout
on these bicycles, I tell you.
There it is right there, Beachside's coming up.
(soft music)
So we just finished our one hour yoga session
here at Tiger Muay Thai Beachside.
So it was a great session, it was actually pretty hardcore,
it was, that was Bikram yoga, wasn't it?
- Vinyasa.
- Oh, vinyasa, okay.
- But it's like Bikram 'cause it's really hot here.
- It's really hot here, so I sweat so much,
I was sweating like crazy,
so probably bring a bottle of water if you do this session.
Robyn killed it, like she's totally in her element
when she's here doing yoga, aren't you?
Yeah, but great session, really, really loved it.
They supply all the mats and all the gear,
you just bring yourself, have a great time.
That's it.
End of Monday, end of the day one
of our Tiger Muay Thai Beachside training experience.
Tomorrow we're going on the Bhudha run,
we're doing Bhudha run, stick around for that.
- It's the morning.
- Seven a.m. tomorrow morning.
Thanks for watching guys, good-bye.
