Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Sad times Danny, your a part of what makes Rawai so good, best of luck in whatever it is your doing next

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

good luck to you danny!
any plans where to go already???

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Best wishes to you for whatever you move on to.

Who will be filling your roll at Rawai?

Country: Scotland

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

danny sad to hear that you are leaving the gym. Rawai will not seem the same without you there . you were that go to guy when someone needed help with something. your maintenence of the website and keeping it up to date is a main reason i belive that rawai muay thai has been able to expand and grow into the gym it is today. since i started pestering you with emails in 2004 about the camp and training and having a room availiable you gave peace of mind knowing that when i got there everthing would be taken care of .and its been that way for 4 years and 4 awesome trips. I feel a little sad for the future guest of rawai that they will not get to know you the man who made the camp what it is . well danny best of luck in the future hope you have fun in whatever adventure you find yourself in keep living the dream brother

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Danny,
I have tears in my eyes. I am really devistated by this news. I was really looking forward to seeing you in August.
The gym will not be the same without you there, from what I see, you are the glue to that place and your the reason why so many farangs come to this gym.
I dont know what else to say.

Country: Australia

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

I will be filling in as the new internet manager at Rawai. It will be hard to follow in Danny's footsteps since he has done such an amazing job here. So please bear with me.

Danny, good luck with your new endeavors and we'll miss you.

Country: Thailand

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

hey danny chok dee for the future hope everything works out for you

Country: england

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

What a shock, Danny as it has been said many times by many people you were the reason why so many people chose to stay at Rawai for the first time and the reason why so many came back.

Your input and information on the forum was invaluable and kept all of us who wish we were back in Rawai up to date with the news and the videos will be surley missed.

I am sure that the descison was 1 of the hardest you have made as i know that you put everything into that job. I hope that your new adventure will also bring many years of happiness, whatever it may be.

I am sure that i am not the only 1 that would like to keep in touch with you, so if and when you feel ready get your self on 1 of those social network sites so we can keep in touch.

Remember if it all gets too much just go get a BIG MOTORBIKE and ride hard and free.



I am sure that all those at the gym will continue in making sure that it is the number 1 choice for all students who wish to come to thailand to live the dream.

Good luck my friend

Danny, you worked hard over the past years and you created an amazing GYM, I will miss the excellent customer service you give, in my hour of need you were the one person I know I could count on.

You have my respect man, you lived the dream, you lived the good life Danny.

Country: Uk

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

wow im shocked danny's leaving !!! u are the main attraction there.......shit im gonna miss those sessions we had in your room (cough cough its getting hazy)..........any plans on coming back ?

hey thats me with yod and nopparet !

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

It seems that there is a lot of interest and questions regarding Danny's leaving the gym. So let me put the record straight. First of all Rawai Muay Thai was started by a partnership between Tuk and Danny. They opened the gym on November 3, 2003 (not 8 years ago, like it states in Danny's video). Many people think that this gym was all Danny's work... but that's just not the case.

Tuk managed the staff and the fights and the operation of the gym while Danny created and maintained the website and also gave great customer service. I helped out wherever I could, with emails and customers and the running of the gym as well. It was a good partnership, that has now come to an end.

Yes, there were disagreements between Tuk and Danny, as can happen between business partners, but Danny chose to leave and I think he is already happier with the new arrangement. Danny decided to move on. He was no longer happy at the camp and when given the option to sell his share, he took it.

I, Diana Campillo, Tuk's wife, have taken over as the new internet manager and customer service person. I will be maintaining the website and keeping people posted on the news at the gym and around Rawai. Tuk will continue to do the his job which is one reason why the training and atmosphere at the camp is so special. Danny will not be far, as he is staying at Goong's and our students will still be welcome there.

Let's hope we can continue to serve our guests well, with excellent training and helping to be a part of there fun time in Thailand.

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

We would like to wish Danny all the best and hope he will be happy..
Diana have fun with your new role and maybe see you in December.

Country: UK

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

so danny was just like IT support? haha everyone makes him sound like a god!!

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Well put Diana, what ever went on between Danny and Tuk has nothing to do with us and should not be speculated on. These things happen in every walk of life, people change, perspectives differ as we get older etc. The camp will survive, I wish them all well and look forward to the day I can get my fat ass back there.
Diana best of luck your gonna do just fine

Be interesting to know what ur gonna do next though Danny, where's part II of living the dream gonna be?

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

@mehana:

why do you write that you come from england/canada when in fact you come from Enkhuizen/Netherlands???

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Hi Diana, I hope you are well and the gym is still ticking over. I visited the gym in October 2003 and it was already up and running so I think it opened a bit earlier than your post (maybe only a wee bit earlier)? I met you on that trip, I am Dannys cousin, you may or may not remember me but I used to visit Danny on all my trips to Phuket. Anyway small details aside I hope all goes well with the gym in the future as im sure Danny does as well. All the best, Jason.

Country: New Zealand but lives in OZ

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

In October 2003 we were painting, getting the ring ready, buying furniture for the rooms, etc but we officially opened on November 3, 2003. So this November will be our 6th anniversary!

Country: Thailand

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

Rob don't be a fag. I googled his name, and went to his website. I hope "dannyavision.com" isn't the new Muay Thai gym's website. It also doesn't say an anticipated opening date.

I am coming to phuket next month and have been trying to read up on all the gyms on the island.

The gym is not constructed yet but Danny's working on the website:

dont be rude just cause you cant read whats on his website...there is a section on his homepage named "my business @ phuket" which directs you to his gym's homepage!!!
i found it out that way myself so why cant you?

goddammit why do you think that i didnt post his new gym's website on rawai muay thai's forum???

Re: Dannys on holidays AGAIN !

thats very nice of you diana.. you seem like a nice person and by doing that you have just cemented another tick in my book.

As for Dannys gym, its scheduled release date is September 1.
Its called Promthep Muay Thai, its 3kms from Rawai which means there will hoefully be some healthy competition for farangs when wanting to fight.

Rob was doing the right thing by not postijng on here as it may come across dis respectful.
