No, we bought the Khao Lak land 4 years ago. Tuk and I have been planning this second gym for a long time. We like countryside living, and Phuket is getting quite busy so it's just a natural progression for us. We think that for training, you need a calm place where you can train with less distractions. We hope Khao Lak is the right place for this.
When I get back from my trip to Mexico (in mid April) I will go visit the building site and take some pictures to upload.
Yes, we will continue to have great training at Rawai. Why wouldn't we? Tuk only hires quality teachers and his brothers, Hehm Fin and Lee run the gym. Lindsey and I answer emails and I work on the website. Things in Rawai will continue as they are now!
The Camp in Khao Lak is now OPEN! We already have students training. Our very first guest staying in the bungalows is Helen from Dublin Ireland and she is having a great time.
