If you are planning a training trip to Thailand, you will probably end up choosing between Phuket and Chiang Mai. Both are good options, but they offer very different experiences.
Phuket is the more complete choice. You have access to a wide range of gyms, better infrastructure and plenty of options outside of training. This makes it especially suitable for beginners who want a balance between training and relaxation.
Chiang Mai, on the other hand, is quieter and more focused. It is often cheaper and feels less touristy, which some people prefer. However, there is less variety in terms of gyms and activities.
A common question is which one is “better”. In reality, it depends on what you are looking for. Most beginners feel more comfortable in Phuket, simply because everything is easier and more accessible.
