if you're looking at traveling to
Tiger Muay Thai as a first timer Phuket Thailand then this video is for yep
for you for you for you for you everybody welcome back 25th of March
2019 Robin whale is with me Ruby please calm hello and I just thought to put
this video together for everybody who's looking at traveling to tigerboy Thai
for the first time to do some training at that amazing camp in Phuket
Thailand's not even necessarily Tiger more Thai but any of the training camps
in the area on the street on any of the off streets because if you've seen any
of the videos already you know that they're about a half a dozen to 10 or so
training camps and gyms in and around that street that I love to call
dentistry aka so eat I eat I'll throw the map up so you know where to find
that and you can tell the driver when you get to Phuket International Airport
to take you there but I've had a lot of questions about tiger Muay Thai and I'm
a first-timer and I'm several traveling solo is it safe is the food safe and
I've had like I get probably about 20-30 messages a week now it's crazy so in
this video I'm going to go through everything to help put your nerves at
ease if you regular traveler to take my tie or fitness treat you probably won't
want to watch this video because you know what it's like but if your solo
traveling and you've never been there before I get the nerves I've met other
female solo travelers there and you know they'll find but we'll talk about that
as well anyway so I have a long laundry lists that this might be a 5 to
10 minute video but just quickly I want to mention that I'm actually in my
apartment here in Melbourne so I'm actually not at tying my tie right now
or Fitness Street and I reckon after I shoot this video I reckon we'll go back
yeah I think that's a very good idea I will be following you we don't want to
stay here I was writing this list out of my fuckin to go back to fitness trade
first thing I want to cover off is what to expect when you arrive at Fitness
Street or Tiger boy time one of the things that I noticed when I first
arrived was just how many people there are not just a tiger muy Thai but also
on Fitness Street as well and all the different training camps from all around
the world it actually blew my mind just how multicultural that street is I met
people from Argentina Brazil like Australia of course South Africa but
like New Zealand and even like Czech Republic and like even parts of like
Eastern Europe and I mean of course England and all the normal like Canada
and all that but like even like India and like Sri Lanka ok folks have to
stare over here she's from the motherland she's been here for how long
two months and the last day is tomorrow so tears of joy right now yeah tears of
sadness so how do you feel right two months training here how do you feel
after two months it becomes partly it really does not be the training boy
toy everything and then eventually you learn to do 70 sit-ups instead of 25 she
wants to she was messing up you gotta cut that out of the video
yeah see this one is sit up honey awesome yeah so are you gonna come back
here do you think Pedro from Spain or just finished intermediate how do you
feel my man so she insisted your name and where you
from Amy from the motherland and how long
have you been here for a month I Tiger one month yeah out of two months this is
Dan over here he's from Sydney and he's four he's here
for Helen eight weeks and he's been here for four weeks and how do you feel feel
amazing okay one word to describe this class
that we just did two hours one word go I'm very fucking thirsty sweaty muddy
arm I meet this girl here worried from what you name Toronto actually yeah and
she dragged me into the intermediate more toy box
if I die it's her phone remember that face and just like I'm
like man this place is just so multicultural and just people from all
around the world and I was like surprised at how you know when I first
rolled up there just how spread the skill levels are because a lot of the
videos around Fitness Street and so tired and Tiger Moth I like you know
more like pro level guys fighting and like any you know like you just I was
watching these videos I was like man I'm super intimidated by what I saw but
there are so many people that are just starting out their journey that Tiger my
tired but just wanting to lose some kilos or get in shape or or try
something new happy happy from Spain this guy video no surrender no no I'm
feeling a bit tired it's a first day it's really really hot I'm sweating I
mean I'm sweating my brains out I'm telling you here for your part is one
week so we have a advance student out of here no advanced beginner yeah okay
advanced beginner so we just finished a two hour class yeah Thursday afternoon
how do you feel good yeah so how many days have you been
here for two weeks me too and then back home yeah where's home Switzerland no
damn like Denmark and and then there's guys at the other end of the spectrum
that are professional fighters that go there you know every six months or so or
train that for three months at a time and so it was just amazing you'll find
that there's just a broad spectrum of people and different levels of training
first time out of shape want to go to a quote-unquote fat camp right just to
lose if you kill this is a corporate worker or something like that and then
the pro fighters as well so you just meet 74 people there on that Street
Tiger blue tie I mean it's not you know it's a title motovlog but it's also the
whole street in general how did you find a ropes when you when you are your focus
Rob's you saw need the previous most recent videos in November December 2018
was when we went together I'd been to Fitness Street now maybe
half a dozen times but it was Robin's first time how did you find it your
first time I mean he tried to describe it to me before I'd actually arrived
there and it and you can't experience it until you get there that's what I'd say
is you have to go and experience it for yourself but what I love so much about
it is it's it was so welcoming I felt so comfortable and at ease and can be quite
intimidating is the first time of going to these places and it's about like
martial arts and fighting and and yeah it's it's intimidating but actually the
people are so welcoming there we go take it up so I really I really loved that
that side of it it's awesome you know it's not even
about martial arts specifically like it's so funny it's so funny because like
I roll it up was like oh it's all about more tired and I like more I really do
but like there's so much more to it than just that which is why when I rolled up
and I saw the street because originally there was only one video on the street
on YouTube and one person called a finest street and I rolled up I was like
this is a fighter Street this is like this is like a big fitness like a
village and I was like hold on a minute they got like the previous times that
she living well the first time I rolled up was all well pretty much the lot okay
so when we went there it was pretty much the same with a few new things like like
that active like dapples wasn't there the plaza wasn't there seven Judah Tyson
was there and and time Fitness was there when I first roll up a couple of years
ago and you know but like just quickly like the unit 27 is strength
conditioning it's CrossFit Titan Fitness is a outdoor boot camp style training
places which I want to go and shoot videos I haven't shot video as the Titan
fitness but look them up Titan fitness they've got like a massive
outdoor boot camp thing with like a milk prep kitchen and they do like retreats
yeah weight-loss programs and all kinds of stuff and when I saw this I'm like
this is not by the street this is not like just for fighters this is for
everybody it's just the branding of the place there's a little bit misleading so
I call it Fitness drink because I like it's it's also very surprised because I
was just expecting my turn yeah and that's right dan is like oh my gosh it's
got every K like he's a protein shake bars in the street like there's nowhere
else in the world I spa yes sir gee I don't never done that but
like if you go to unit 27 I'll link the video up you can check the we did a
separate video on year to 27 like they just got all sorts of stuff like you
know and that's why I like it's good fitness tree it's everything Fitness
protein shake bars you got flotation tanks you got a hot yoga studio you've
got like a place where you can have your body composition checked unit 27 have
one there's also another place to have it but you also go like these healthy
eating restaurants as well like after a hard day's training it's just so much
you just want to feel like you you've given a hug and that's what it happened
with the viennese family-run restaurant it's just amazing food and very
welcoming people so I I want to say we're on the topic of food it was one of
my other things I want to mention some of you guys have asked like is the food
safe to eat and I get it like you know do you think
Thailand its Asia like you think Delhi Belly you travel to India and I've been
to India and it's like oh if you don't to be sick for weeks and so I want to
say like I've been to Thailand like maybe six or seven times over the last
few years and I've spent time on this street in particular and this street in
Thailand in Phuket is one of the healthiest streets I've seen in the
world like in the world and it's not like anything else in Thailand like if
you step outside the street in Thailand you'll get the street food you get like
typical Asian you're like pad thai on the street you pay a thirty part and
there's old ladies flipping this thing like and making pad thai but this
particular street in Thailand is like almost like a bubble in the world there's a nice it is so is it amazing
it's like it's like a fairy tale of you know imagine like every beautiful
restaurant that has the cleanest food cleanest food you can imagine like your
grilled chicken and you steamed vegetables and and then you look at the
menu and you've got like it tells you calories and your protein and your car
when you're fat all your macros and so you know tracking macros it's the
perfect place for that like if you're getting ready for a bodybuilding
competition amateur bodybuilding you're getting ready for an amateur
bodybuilding competition or whatever or like your fitness model whatever else
and you want in like stay in shape and you know watch what you're eating track
your macros and stuff it's actually a perfect place for that because you look
at the menu and go oh great it's got this much calories and everything also
so the food is completely safe I've never been sick myself eating along the
street I've met a lot of people through travels on that Street I've never heard
of anyone reporting getting sick from eating anywhere along that particular
Street so as far as I'm concerned it's perfectly it's perfectly safe like I
mean sure you can have one in a 100 you know like you have like the worth less
than 1% that do get sick and you know I feel bad for you but I've never come
across it personally so yeah make just go walk along the street and try
everything try all the restaurants and what would you put your favorite one ty
ty ty time it's actually a really good place I'll link it up ty ty it's like a
family-run restaurant it's also very close to and Tiger very close to Titan
we're tight yep so tight I just really really called
definitely check them out super cheap food tastes absolutely amazing so you go
to stir fried pork with veggies we have the Thai omelet right there
we've got the Morning Glory which is veggies and rocks he has ordered the
green curry right there Robinson I went there a few times after we did our
training at Iying and we're tired so maybe like a three it's like a three
second walk literally and it's run by family and you feel in like little kids
run around and you know it's just you feel like your mother's cooking you know
it feels like your mum's cooking dinner point you know and you walk out you pay
like five bucks Australian bucks like you don't pay five
bucks for a coffee you pay five bucks for a bloody meal there it's crazy all
these barbecue as well it's one of my favorite places Ollie's barbecue is on
the other end of the same street it's a bit of a walk maybe 10 to 15 20
minute walk from from Tiger Woods high and it's a really good social place so
you know when you arrive and your solar traveling and you meet a bunch of people
you just everyone goes to all this barbecue they've got a big-screen TV
they've got like an outdoor style barbecue and they quit all like skewers
and things and you just it's a it's an amazing place it's hard to describe
arthrosis it clips up when it was raining but actually raining heavily in
that night it was Mandy's going away thing but like going-away parties a hold
there and yeah such a really cool place now I want to get onto the topic of
solar traveling this is know this is mainly for women the women the ladies
the ladies watching this that are looking at traveling to this place so
low and you nervous so you're concerned if you have you've messaged me about as
it safe is it okay I'm you know I've never been there before like you know
sure I don't have anything to worry about as a safe at night
and I mean I thought the best person to answer that question for you would be
Robin whale now just to go there now I just pack my bags
just you know head on up like right now that's how I lose me in Dovan yeah I
would know that yeah it's it's Toki fun it's Toki 7 actually during the time
that I was there I met quite a few and solo female travelers who have now gone
back there since since I was last there and I met them there and they've been
messaging me and they've they're back on their own experiencing the amazing
sweets I eat um even at night when you're walking around the streets are
lit up it's it's actually it's it might seem overwhelming thinking you're going
to Thailand on your own but it's one Street it's quite a long street but it's
one Street and everything's close together so yeah it's really safe to
walk around during the day during the night you didn't feel intimidated as a
female walking around at nights you feel unsafe no no I didn't I didn't and you
also um you very quickly meet people so you don't end up being on your own for
very long and the trainer's there if particularly if they know you're on your
own and they are they kind of take you under their wing look after you yeah so
you're not alone you're not alone it's a very it's a very warm and welcoming
culture even the men cause if they see you walking down the street
well well ah sure come in and eat with them I mean I know Mandy said like she
the big Thai Thai they've been moving in hi man and and you eat with a big family
at the table so it's just it's just such an incredible amazing to worry about you
have nothing to worry about like like Mandy like right now well not
right now cuz Charlie's so you guys might be watching this so I know you
guys having a blast actually I wish we were there right yeah why are you left us here better but
Mandy like when when we were there at the time like Mandy was on her own right
and Charlie was back in Melbourne because he's got said they're from
Melbourne so Mandy Charlie from well couple from Melbourne and so like man he
was fine like no issues on her own coming around training to just yourself
to the world so from Melbourne good for Melbourne we
met last year August last year my husband yet charlie is not here I'm fine
flying solo yeah you're here for two months and yeah
and then Mike there's a few other people like Sylvia and Veronique are like these
girls that were there traveling solo and had no problems at all so no no issues
of safety so yeah no problems just go yeah you'll meet people we have a blast
and and that kind of bleeds into the home away from home that's a really good
thing like Rob's talked I were brainstorming this before this list
before we turn the camera on and like the cultures so friendly it's like as
Robin said home away from home that's literally how this place feels like
Melbourne is like a base for me but I feel like soit 8/2 Fitness street is
another home I think it's in the lifestyle and and when you go there just like as
Robin said everyone's so welcoming and you meet people and even if you'd like
he's there traveling on like I me when I first arrived at Fitness Street I was on
my own and I i literally guys i literally the very first video I shot a
fitness treat so I'm back on the island of Phuket and just walking down what
they call fighter street so it's work think Muay Thai training centers are
located or the fitness studios yoga supplement shops and everything like
that I don't think I've told you this I was like filming a video my guys on the
street and then someone rent I could stop the camera and then someone ran up
to me guys are like hey going where he from you look like you're lost can I
help you out literally was on the street for five seconds you know so let's say
you also feel it when we go and run off days we'll go to the beach whatever and
you actually want to come back you get this feeling like okay I've been out of
dumb activities I've had fun just me but it makes you want to actually come back
to the street yeah everybody like you get to know the trainer's you get to
know their lives like when you train with a trainer long enough you get to
like you like we met like Pat was our trainer like well we had a few a few
different we tried in a few different places and the different videos and
stuff but like Pat was the charisma went back to him and Luke we met his wife and
he's a little kid and we went to one of these day we met his rooster and so he's fight you got injured the
next thing is I want to talk about types of accommodation and I get this question
a lot actually in my inbox like a lot of you guys have asked like where's the
best place to stay how much is it it's like like all those
kinds of things I sort of group it up and just get to the bottom of it all so
in my opinion if you're looking at staying if you're looking going to this
place for a week or two weeks then and you have a job back home then I don't
see a problem with staying at a place that's like 25 bucks a night I would
suggest like for me like Bora Bora is really nice
it's really close and it's it's very its closest actually besides staying on camp
like you can stay on camp on campus at tigerboy time but Bora Bora is really
nice we were very very close you don't need a scooter I don't throw
the map up they've got a really nice pool it's really cheap and it's good
enough if you want to stay for one or two weeks if you want to stay longer
than that then you should stay somewhere else but another place that I like
we actually like I've been I stay there in the past Coco ville and I'll throw
the map up this place is our favorite place to have breakfast because their
menu is just an amazingly I don't want to say but like bigger they got a menu
yeah I'm thinking about that the oatmeal pancakes like they're good a menu there
we just called the raw Fitness Mandi it's called the Roth it's called the raw
Fitness menu right and like it's good like your pancakes protein shake this
and protein that and protein this and protein that and like egg white omelets
and I'll throw some photos up so you can see what the stuff actually looks like
so cocoa fill the menu is amazing the restaurant is amazing it's our favorite
place to go to eat and use their Wi-Fi their Wi-Fi if you're someone who works
like online has an online business or something that place is perfect because
the Internet is just blow your mind we got the option of a
co-working space and there's a co-working space can either use Internet
you're a period of time we'll use it occurring that's right the co-working
space is upstairs at Coco de Ville I did a separate video on that I'll link it
actually I'll link that one up but you're I want to talk about I've done a
separate video on that but the Internet's great and the food is freakin
amazing cocoa retreat is our favorite place to
stay for luxuries so this is only for people that are staying for a week or so
you have a job back home you have the finances to fund it and you don't mind a
bit of luxury a few guys you a few you've messaged me saying Brad I want a
place with a private pool I want to pray a place with a spa I'm like well this
place doesn't have a spa that I know of but this is definitely one of the nicer
places that we've stayed and one of their favorite places so that's Coco
retreat now the problem with that place is that you need a scooter
it's I'll throw the map up there it's a little bit further it's like literally
like a 10-minute ride on the scooter yeah and and for some people that I get
it like if you're traveling for the first time you may not feel comfortable
riding a scooter for 10 minutes even though it's literally just like it's
just around the block you know but I get it some some of you might not be
comfortable never any mosquitoes we're never ridden a motorbike or a scooter
and that's fine so if you're in that situation don't want to ride don't feel
comfortable riding and you don't want to walk for like thirty or thirty minutes I
don't know what the walk time is then I wouldn't stay there but if you're okay
with that then consider it if you love luxury now I have a solution for people
that want to stay miss getting a – a long video I apologize I'm finishing
very soon if you want to stay long-term a few of you guys have asked like two to
three months you want to stay there where can I stay now I got this contact
from somebody I'll throw the details up I'm not paid or sponsored or anything
like that it's just a contact that I have I'll literally throw it up it's
Rome Rai if the normal room is ten thousand baht a month and the four
fifteen thousand baht and I'll throw the conversions up and that kind of stuff
and offer up the location of it as well but I can't endorse this place I've
never stayed there I I've heard that it's it's it's good enough it's not like
it's not luxury but it's it's cheap and affordable for long term stay so if you
stay there let me know what you think and and if it sucks then I won't have a
plot I won't ever mention the place again
simple as that quickly I did a fourteen preparation tips video it's about 20
something minutes long but literally I go into more detail stuff like I talked
about in this video go and check it out it just answers a lot of other questions
that people have about this street training not just a tiger more time but
also other training centers in the area and and yeah and what I suggest to do is
try everything just go train everywhere try different trading centers on the
street try different restaurants try different cafes you know oh that's what
we did try everything try different trainers try everything anyway so if you
have any questions let me know send me a message I'll trying it back to you guys
I'm like I'm I'm flat out but I'll do my best to get back to you I didn't know
these videos to do so well to be honest with you I really didn't I just started
filming on my phone and then I started taking my camera and everyone now wants
to watch the videos and go to SOI tawheed but now Robin also has a free
Pilates course she is a Pilates instructor
