Where to go for vacation / training camp
« on: October 01, 2016, 12:36:18 AM »
I am to planing on traveling for 4-8 weeks starting in january, as this is the worst month being here in Norway.

I would like to go somewhere inexpensive and temperate where they have gyms and readily available gear!

Anyone have any good suggestions for me?

Thailand during that month should have very nice weather.
Gear is available.
Food is not suited for bodybuilders tho (very low protein and high fat and carbs).I think gyms are quite expensive too (3500 baths for a 2 week pass at a decent gym in pattaya).
Phuket also has many gyms too.
Overall i suggest Bangkok but if you want beaches Phuket. Still got pool in any decent bkk hotel.

LOL you can get a YEAR membership at Universe Gym Pattaya for about 5000 baht which is like $150. But the gym is located away from the main tourist area and equipment is old, but does the job. I believe Dennis James used to train there back in the day, so it's good enough for him.
Meat and protein powder is readily available.

I guess eating at restaurants in Thailand is very cheap, so I could just order triple meat servings  ;D
