Universe Gym

[Carl 0]

I've just read that the Universe gym by Soi 9 has been levelled along with the surrounding bars.

 

The Flipper was a wonderfully placed hotel, gym, Soi 8, beach stroll to walking street and was going to be my choice of stay for a trip in May, may the weeks pass quickly.

 

Are there any other gyms in the town ?

I heard that Universe was relocating to Third Road. I don't know if thats happened yet.

 

There have been a few threads about gyms here. Tony's fitness centre's sound O.K and there's also A1 Fitness at the Cruise Ship hotel between soi 2 and 3 on Beach Road.

You lucky dog or is it wombat! Love watching those fights. Everyone is totally into the fight. A way different aptmosphere than any fighting I have come across. 17 days until wheels up! later doorman

watching how thai society works within the walls of bang kwang and the atmosphere that went with being within those walls was just fucking awesome.

 

if the guys at the gym ever manage to organise another one inside bang kwang and your in town....dont fucking miss it...there is no way that i have the words or the ability to portray in print what i felt as i walked the corridors to where the fights where.

 

the powers that be had video cameras in all sorts of locations and every one was on film at all times...seeing prisoners on prisoners shoulders peering through bars just to catch a glimpse of what was happening.

 

the prisoners who won....and i mean knock outs in the first round...leave the ring and pay respect to the head of the prison (read kiss shoes)

 

the prison head giving "his boy" 20 b which was then given to the guard who was with him.

 

back behind the bars and back into shackles.

 

like i say ...just fucking awesome

Interesting stuff Wombat. Guess you don't see that at Boggo Road.

[wombat 5]

no..not a snow balls chance in hades of that one.....by comparison you would call boggo a 5 star resort.

Wombat, is this a regular event or just a one off ? Would love to go, any locations in BKK that could organise tickets? Or is it just for people in the know ?

[wombat 5]

it was a first....if any others are to be organised you could ask dave at the sportsmans bar in soi13 or ask the guys at the gym.
