Sorry to jump in on the thread lads, but roughly how much would a trip like this cost?

If you're careful with your money you could do 6 weeks for 2 grand including flights.

ha ha...two grand..you must be joking..in pattaya

say 800 for flight
training 500 for month (inc accomodation ??) not sure of sjp prices
extra food 10/20 per day x 30 = 300/600
taxis 100

month in pattaya - priceless

The islands are a lot more expensive alright. I've never been to Pattaya, but I found Samui a big leap up in price compared to the mainland.

I went up north for my first trip. Was tight enough for cash at the time. All in for 3 weeks (food, travel, some boozing , training and accommodation) it was only 1500, 800 of which was flights. Now I was watching the money a bit, but jesus, there was a lad in the camp I was at who had basically run out of money and he was getting by on 3 euro a day for food and accommodation!!!! (he had already paid for his training up front).

If I was on a budget and wanted to max out the time I was there I'd be looking for somewhere good to train that was in the north.

thanks every one for the info sitjaipetch sounds good like a place that has a family feel to it mabe might going to thailand for the 17th of dec till the 31 .yea i been to pattaya before so i will have see how long i can last before i go spare just have keep away for the women and the beer lol well mabe a cople of beers but no sabi sabi .anyway i will see what happens .does any one know any good hotels near there for like 300 to 800 baht ?or would i be better get an apartment or would that be a bad idea in case i want leave pattaya after a cople of weeks since i would think that you can only get a apartment monthly

hi lads.
trawlin through threads here, i train bjj/mma and karate here in sligo. love the muay thai but there is no club anywhere near here. would i be absolutely nuts to go over and train for 3 or 4 weeks... iv read in another thread that it would probably be more beneficial if i had a bit of experience before hand, but would the trainin im doin be sufficient? would have no problem travellin up n down the country once a week if it was gonna make that much of a difference. not really interested in goin over partyin, just wanna do somethin a bit different! any advice etc greatly appreciated.
cheers lads
