Is it Grand Sport? Prices for daily use?

How about authentic muay thai instruction from a Thai school? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

welcome to the forum ICE you need not ask the same question on two threads regarding the G Sport, they do indeed have training for many sports as well as probably the only Gym In HH with any sort of free weights
their charges are around 150 per session or 1000 Thb per month as my fading memory recalls or check out the Hua Hin Sport website

http://huahinsport.com/

you should find more than enough to keep you occupied here
try the WT camp if you are serious about getting fit

also, is there any place that has a nice pool and a hot tub, preferably where the gym is? If separate from an exercise facility, where's a nice pool to do laps and the best hot tubs in hua hin? Thanks everyone!!! See you in March...

Hi
Sport Vill is a very popular condo it has two pools one at the back for residents and a pool at the fron for the general public there is a sauna there as well.
If you travel on Petchkasem road towars the Chiva Som past the Market Village shopping Mall then just before the Uturn look to the right and Sport Villa is well signposted and is a large pinkish building.
I bought my place there for buttons a studio I know a few that are still for sale.

Iceman, the only place where you can do any decent lap swimming is at Palm Hill sports club. Its comparatively expensive at 200bt a time, but it is a 50 meter pool, and during the day it's not very busy.

Couldn't agree more. A great setting up there. I used to go regularly and swim 50 lengths (not all at the same time, mind you), have a bite to eat, read a book and drink no alcohol, which is unusual for me.
Mind you, the price for a non-member was 50 baht in those days. Quadrupled overnight!! Plus transport etc etc, all of a sudden it's not the attraction it once was for me.
Still a great place to try midweek. You'll probably have the place to yourself.

Thanks for everyone's help and feedback. So does anyone have any comments on Grand Sport? Do they have a pool and decent training facilities?

Anyone know a place for a great hot tub?

Also, typically when do most of these places open and close during the day?
