Thailand Muay Thai Camp
This Web site is a blog to keep my family & friends updated about Phromthep Muay Thai Camp and my situation regarding my business partners at Thailand Muay Thai Camp / Phromthep Muay Thai camp. The web site is updated daily – weekly, when ever I have something new to say….

PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp
UPDATE: 1st APRIL 2012
I Got NO MONEY but I still Got My HONEY !
When things start to go wrong and your daily road feels like its all up hill, this is when most relationships start to fall apart. SO how LUCKY am I to have such an AMAZING girlfriend whom has stuck by my side through out this bad situation.
It is a shame that’s its taken a bad situation for me to appreciate the qualities in Su, She is a BEAUTIUL girl with a BIG smile and a big heart, some one that you can TRUST and relay on in good times & bad…. I have NO money but I still have my Honey !
Phuket would be a FAR better place if their were more girls living their like Su !

UPDATE: 3rd APRIL 2012
“Obstacles are those dreadful things we see when we take our eyes off our dreams.” (Henry Ford)
It looks like WINNING in the Thai court is not going to be so easy.
I have NOTHING on paper to say that I ever worked at Phromthep Muaythai camp, Nothing to say I invested money in the gym, No employment contract or salary agreement, so my lawyer is now telling me its unlikely that I will win in court en less I can come up with some witnesses to back up my claims. I was also warned that Thai people are easily intimated and can NOT be relied on as a witness come court day so it seams like I’m am the one that is S.O.L (Shit Out of Luck).
The Negativity of it all is VERY draining.
Negative thoughts put a drain on the brain and stops a person from moving forward.
With this in mind I have decided to put it all behind me, move forward and learn from the mistakes made in the past. Time to focus on positive things in my life and get my next PHUKET gym up and running as quick as possible.
Im currently in debt by $100 000 dollars from friends that have invested in Phromthep.
$40.000 Aust was invested by My Mum
$50 000 Aust was invested by my good mate Auzzie Dave
260.000 THB by long time friend and regular student at the gym (David from France).
$15 000 dollars is still outstanding on my credit card for gym related items such as the rowing machines, other Gym equipment, kitchen equipment, CCTV set up, 100 KG of chia seed, jig saw mats, etc, etc. I am very lucky that my friends (investors) are understanding to my situation and have allowed me time to get BACK ON MY FEET. It is going take a HUGE effort to get the debt paid back but Im confident I can do it within a few years.
It may seem like Goong and her greedy family have beaten me but keep in mind that they are losing 1 million THB EVERY month in lost income. They average only 2 – 3 students each month and have little chance of getting their business back to what it was earning prior to my exit in November 2011.
MANY THANKS to EVERY ONE that has supported ME by NOT training at PHROMTHEP. Please spread the word to ALL your friends .. The GREEDY Thai owners at PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp are NOT worthy of your money.
Many Thanks for your continued support.
The photo below I have put up to keep me reminded about my good fortune.
I have NEVER had to go to bed hungry, My air-conditioned bedroom at Master Toddys Bangkok gym keeps me cool from the mid day sun, dry from the rain, safe from harm, I have my dreams, my health, my Wonderful girl friend Su, All in all I am quite fortunate to be here in Bangkok Thailand LIVING my DREAMS.

PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp
UPDATE: 10th APRIL 2012
Its EASTER (SONGKRAN festival in Thailand) … The GYM would of been earning about 2 million THB a month had business continued @ PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp.
It has now been 5 months since Goong & her GREEDY family run me out of town. They could have paid me out 5 million THB ($150 000) on the day and continued with the good business that we were doing @ Phromthep Muay Thai Camp but Goong with the help of her corrupt policeman husband chose Option B… to try and scare me to leave Thailand with out having to pay me any money for my share of the business.
Since that day (November 2011)… @ Phromthep Muay Thai Camp they have been losing EVERY month 1 million THB a month in revenue, that’s 5 MILLION THB they are already out of pocket and its still 8 months in till the next high season, by November 2012 (the start of the next high season) they will be 12 – 15 million THB out of pocket, that’s = about the same amount of money that I had invested over my 10 years at the GYM.
Some one recently said to me that may be Goong can not pay me any money because they have no money / income to pay me with. … my responce to that is… Goong and her family are worth more than 70 MILLION THB (2.5 million dollars) and most of that wealth has been accumulated within the last 9 years. The land @ Phuket that the gym is located on is worth 12 million a rai, they have 4 – 5 rai of land, that’s about 40 – 50 million THB in land value only, the gym and 20+ gym bungalows is worth another 15 – 20 million, the Gym restaurant cost more than 2 million to build, 10 rai of land at Phang Nga bay that is producing an income from (latex) rubber trees is worth 6+ million, Goongs shop at Kata is worth more than 5 million, Goongs mother has a multi level Shop & accommodation complex at Kata beach worth more than 15 million & Goong has just built her self a NEW house north of Phuket town worth more than 10 million Thai Baht. If YOU have NO CASH Goong, try selling some assets !
At PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp they now has 3 people doing my job… 1 man making & updating the web site, another man doing SEO work for GOOGLE search engine placement & they have just employed David from the UK to manage & promote the training @ the GYM.
To distance them selfs from the bad reputation of PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp they are now promoting themselves as THAILAND Muay Thai Camp & with the cleaver use of the key words ( RAWAI Muay Thai ) on their web site header they will be hoping to pick up a few of the would be Rawai students to thinking that they are Rawai Muay Thai Camp.
A few days ago with the help of their new Gym manager David, Goong was offered the opportunity to negoiate an offer to pay me out but their response was NO. They refused to pay any money to ME period !
With the help of you all spreading the word to your family & friends to NOT train at PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp / Thailand Muay Thai Camp …. they will continue to lose 1+ million THB every month until they do pay me.
My story will be come a monumental message to any Thai business people that think they can shit on Foreigners and run them out of Thailand. This style of business is going to be BAD for their business. Greed, police corruption and mafia activities is Not the way to run a business any more Thailand.
Money can buy you friends but can NOT buy happiness.

UPDATE: 19th APRIL 2012
A rolling stone gathers no moss !
Su and I will soon be going to Australia and we plan to get married in late June or early July.
The wedding will be VERY small with just a couple of close friends joining us in the celebrations. We will stay in Australia for the next 3 – 6 months and spend some quality time with each other while we ponder our next journey / dream.
The Muay thai Gym @ Rawai Phuket is still on track with plans for the lease to be signed soon but I doubt I will end up living back at Phuket so my involvement in this gym will be via internet marketing only. I LOVE the idea of a small Triathlon camp north of Phuket with just Su & I, this is at the top of my dreams but for now we will slow down and take time to smell the roses. I have been so busy working in Thailand that I have not had time to compete in any Triathlon / Marathon events for the past 4 years so I am hoping to get in a few Triathlons during my time in Australia.
This will be my first Australian winter in 12 years & it will be the first time in 12 years that I have not lived in a small room at the gym.
Im looking forward to spending ALOT more time getting to know my Grand Kids.
Gran ma Su with my grand Kids
This is a photo of Su with my grand kids on our visit to Australia in 2010. I have been living & working in Thailand since before they were born so I have not had much time to get to know them. I am happy that is soon going to change….
A good friend has offered a job in Australia that will help me make some money so I can pay back my debt to those that have invested in Phromthep Muay Thai Camp.
Also close to where I will be living in Australia is a Speedway track, One of the few left in Australia. Those that know me well will know of my dream to buy some remote land & open in Thailand an OFF ROAD 4×4 / motor bike enduro / speed way / smash up derby track… .. It was thinking to call it the BIG boys Play house… So during my time in Australia I hope to do some speedway driving and learn abit more about maintenance & racing the cars …. Photos coming soon.
More details about our Australian plans coming VERY soon.
PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp
UPDATE: 25th APRIL 2012
ANZAC DAY … NO JAIL for ME today !
Today I am @ PHUKET
A few days ago Su received a threatening phone call from Goongs husband Twatt saying if We did not stop hampering their efforts do do business at Phromthep Muay Thai Camp that Twatt would ensure that Sue had her Australian Visa revoked and I will be imprisoned in Thailand for 2+ years.
On sharing this information with some media friends in Bangkok, they phoned Goong and organised a meeting at Phuket to talk about resolving our issues prior to me departing for Australia. The meeting was scheduled for today @ Chalong police station PHUKET. Goongs husband didn’t show as I expected the potential media attention was more than he wanted. The meeting itself was a waste of time as Goong was still talking the same BULL SHIT refusing to admit I ever invested in the gym & that she is not prepared to pay me any money for my share of the gym.
BUT what was revealed today is that 2 months ago Goong and her asshole husband Twatt filed a police report against me claiming that I slandered his good name. In Thailand when a police report is filed you are given 60 days tell your side of the story, after 60 days an arrest warrant will be issued. My residential address given to the police by Goong was the gyms address / Phromthep Muaythai Camp. As I had already been living in Bangkok for the past 6 months their intention was for me to never know anything about the complaint and when I depart Thailand next week I would have been arrested at the airport.. SAVED on ANZAC day only a few days before I was due to fly back to Australia. JING JING… I think some one was looking out for me, How LUCKY is that.
GOONG and Twhat … you both have reached an all time LOW . Tiring to have me arrested once was bad enough but trying it twice.. what Assholes !… Did your recent 10 days at the retreat not teach you anything GOONG ???
So the arrest warrant problem has been sorted out by my Bangkok friends, (Yaa for the RED shirt Government) the police tell me I can not call Goong or Twatt ASEHOLEs any more. Hence my blogging may come to an end tomorrow.
This hopefully is NOT because im In jail or dead.. I will be active on my Facebook page to show I am still alive and a free man. find me on facebook >> (Danny Avison) for those that want to check on my well being.
For those that want to voice their opinion with Goong >> here is Goongs Thai mobile number >> +66872742479…

UPDATE: 28th APRIL 2012
My BLOG continues …
The POLICE @ Phuket never said to stop updating my web site so here I am back in Bangkok and my BLOG continues….>>
My new friends in Bangkok have been helping me sort out my problem with Goong & co., Yaaa for the RED shirt Government of Thailand …. AGAIN !
The Thailand red shirt government are VERY popular in the north of Thailand because they help the little people, the farmers & the families with no money. When they were told about my story and how I was riped off by my greedy Thai business partners (Goong and Co) the Thailand red shirt government sent some of their people to try and help me resolve the situation. Negotiations at Phuket achieved very little so now Goong and Twat will be made to come to Bangkok for further negotiations with government / police as mediators. I have been granted the opportunity to plead my case at the prime ministers office on Monday so hopefully things will get sorted out quickly…
What an AWESOME Government, taking time out to help ME (a foreigner). 70% of Thailand voted for Yingluck Shinawatra as the preferred Prime Minister of Thailand. I will post about the out come of our meeting ASAP
Thailand Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra
Yaaa … for the Thailand RED Shirt Government

UPDATE: 30th APRIL 2012
TV3 Current affair (Thai Style)
Its been a HUGE day TODAY.. … Thailand TV 3 has a current affairs program with a famous reporter named Kun Soiute, (hes the Thailand version of Mike Willesee). The show is similar to Australian 60 minutes but THAI style. They interviewed me about what happened at Phromthep Muay Thai Camp, I think it will be on Thai Tv this week. Today we went to the New Zealand embassy to loge an official complaint and much to my surprise they already knew about my story. I gave them copy of all my receipts, bank deposit statements and other information about my story. The complaint had to be lodged with the Embassy before the story goes tho the Prime Ministers office. Later tonight we have more interviews and tomorrow we will talk with the BIG police in Bangkok + in the afternoon we will go to the Prime Ministers office. It may look like ALOT of fuss for a foreigner BUT im told that the Thailand government are tiring to promote MORE foreign investment in Thailand so to show that they are helping foreigners with issues like this is what’s creating all the attention for me. Yaa for the Red Shirt Government !

A Photo says 1000 WORDS
How do you FIGHT against corrupt Police… (answer) with the MEDIA
Yesterday I went to the Forestry Department in Bangkok with the film crew from TV3.
Goongs husband Twatt is employed as the Phuket ranger, the person in charge of protecting the government forest. In Thailand you can buy your way out of this type of trouble, you can even pay money to keep your job & Police pension BUT when the media is making a BIG story of it then it becomes a BIGGER problem and a bit of an embarrassment to the whole forestry department in Bangkok. (see video below).
My complaint was made direct to the head of the forestry department, Twatts boss. (see photo below) the media were their to document the complaint and take photos. In a few days we will go back to follow up the complaint and answer more questions.
Video of Goong & Twatt using an Elephant to remove trees from Government land @ Kata – Phuket Thailand. You can see Goong and Twatt standing behind the elephant holding their new born baby (Captain) as the logs are being dragged out of the forest.

Their has been rumors that I don’t legally have shares in Phromthep Muay Thai Camp and that I never paid money to Goong for the construction of the gym. Photo 1 above = My signature as a part owner @ Phromthep Muay Thai Camp. Photo 2 = transfer document showing 1 million THB being paid into Goongs Thailand account in 2009 for the construction of Phromthep Muay Thai Camp. … That puts an end to those rumors !
PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp
UPDATE: 5th MAY 2012
It come to my Attention that ALOT of People dont know who Goong & her family are (what they look like) so I have posted photos below… My GREEDY business partners @ Phromthep Muay Thai Camp – Phuket Thailand.
I received a Facebook message today from the NEW manager @ Phromthep Muay Thai Camp David Mcrobb. David is a little PISSED off at me because my web site & blog is stopping students from wanting to train at Phromthep Muay Thai Camp.
David was recently shit on by his Thai business partners at a Muay Thai Camp he had invested in @ Hula Hin south of Bangkok. He is so quick to want to work for Goong @ Phromthep Muay thai Camp that perhaps in the excitement of having a new job he has forgotten about his experience of working with greedy Thai’s, or may be having Twatt the corrupt police man / part owner of Phromthep Muay Thai Camp watching his back he thinking how can anything go wrong for him @ Phromthep Muay thai Camp.
If you want my job David then you should be buying my 33% share of the business, My web site and blogging will continue intill some ones pays me for my 10 years of investment in Phromthep Muay Thai Camp.
For a man that is working in Thailand with out a work permit, You sure do have a BIG mouth David . See below messages sent to me from David Mcrobb

PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp
UPDATE: 6th MAY 2012
I was suppose to fly back to Australia today but I have decide to postpone my flight and wait for Su to get her visa approval so we can both fly to Australia together. I will be back in Thailand again in the coming months to fight Goong and Twatt in court.
I am looking forward so much to starting a new life with Su in Australia.
I know I have said this already but …. one of the best things to come from this bad situation with Goong & her greedy family is an improvement with my relationship with my Girl friend Su. Su and I have been together for 7+ years but I was never interested in making a commitment to her, My work was ALWAYs my number 1 priority, relationship was a distant 2nd, BUT over the past 6 month’s Su has stood by my side even when threats were made to her she NEVER let it come between us. So the good that has come from this situation with Goong is that I now realise that I can count on Su 100% in the good times and bad times. A KEEPER as my friends all tell me. Some times it takes a bad situation before we start to appreciate what we have.
PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp
UPDATE: 8th MAY 2012
Life is about building character and wisdom through experience. There will always be adversity to overcome…
Some one said to me a few days ago that FIGHTING Goong & her Greedy family is becoming an obsession with me. I should let it go and not let it ruin my life, go home and put it all behind me, learn from the lesson & start again.
LET me be VERY CLEAR… winners NEVER QUIT and quitters NEVER WIN. I am fighting for MY LIFE, My money, My future, I am prepard for jail and even to die for what I beleive in, Goong and her family can run my out of town but they will NEVER break me,
I will be going back to Australia to get a job & make some money so I can fight Goong in court … BUT I will NOT stop fighting.

UPDATE: 19th MAY 2012
Our departure to Australia has been delayed once again. Goong and Twatt were called to Bangkok yesterday by the Bangkok Police in the hope to mediate a settlement between and keep the illegal logging out of the media & Thai courts. 6 hours of negotiating achieved very little, Goong had a bad case of VERBAL diarrhea. She denied that I ever invested in the gym bungalows, she denied ever offering interest payment’s to any person that invested money in the gym and or though she could NOT produce any documents to show that she ever paid me a salary or commission during my 7 years of working with her she assured the police that she is talking 100% the TRUTH . Goong said to the police mediator that she did NOT think she should have to pay ANY money to me or the GYM investors considering that I have ruined her business, bla bla bla bla bla ….
It looks like Su and I will be in Bangkok for a few more months.
More Updates Coming Soon !

Hi Danny,
We just heard about all this from Deepak. We are heart broken for you and pray you are well and safe. I never trusted her or her husband and had a bad feeling from the get go. It seems to be such a common theme in Thailand, sadly. Tu and I are settled here in California with all our dogs. We want you to know that if you need a place to chill for a while and get yourself together our home is always open to you and we would welcome you anytime. Please shoot us an email it would be great to talk and be intouch with you. email is mecromagnon@yahoo.com

Hello Danny!
I am sorry for your problems with the former Thai partners. They will have to deal with their karma soon enough.
I would like to do a 2 weeks get into better shape-visit. My pregnant wife and 3 year son would also join me, but not to train of course. We plan this for February 2012. Any advice? Would be great to stay in a place that allows my wife to relax and get her spa experience, as well as me burning off 10 kilos of fat.
All the best!

Hello Henric
I am now working @ a Bangkok gym with master Toddy
The training is VERY good, we have families here too . Thai massage spa is very close to the gym.
The gym is located close to Bangkok airport and close to the BTS sky train so it is easy to get to others areas of Bangkok.
We have rooms available at the GYM . check out the web site >> http://www.mastertoddy.com
Hey Danny,
Shocked to hear this mate. Really am, it’s still sinking in. You are one of the best manager/person I knew from Rawai 2008 trip. Hope you bloody win and get your money. Karma will catch up to them.
Ly
what stupid people your ex-partners are. they should have known that what they put out will come back. You have such a huge support group around the world that I would hate to think what would happen if they ever did anything bad to you, their business would be gone I think and possibly worse. They should realise they made a big mistake in treating you like this and try to salvage something before it is too late and pay you for your website. Keep safe, I am sure your friends and family are thinking of you …
Hi Danny,
sorry to hear about the gym, i know how much that place ment to you.
look forward in training at your new gym when you get it up and running, say gaday to wayne for me

Oh mate I seriously hope that’s not your fate as I know you have many more people to teach and wisdom to give I look forward to training with you in your new gym stay strong and most of all stay safe
Hi Danny
When I decided I was going back to Thailand this year I was going to go to Rawai until I saw your original website for Phromthep and realised that you were the manager there. I decided to go there because you were the reason that Rawai was so good. Now that I have seen what they have done to you I definitely won’t ever go to Phromthep and I am sure there are a lot of other people who will avoid it for the same reason.
Karma is going to kick them in the arse and they will eventually realise that it is cheaper to pay you what they owe you rather than have you working against their business in the future. If they had just done the right thing in the first instance they would have 50% of a viable business rather than 100% of a failing business. Serves them right!
If I go to Bangkok I will definitely check out Master Toddy’s. I wish you all the best.
Danny I am so sorry to hear what happened to you mate. You were always so helpful with great advice and alot of time for all of the students.
I sincerely hope this has a positive outcome for you and applaud the fact that you are willing to fight them tooth and nail, even with your life at stake. You are a brave and courageous soul and I’m proud to know you.
If Karma does exist and I believe it does, they will get theirs in either this life or the next. They have some truly serious crap to atone for.
It is gratifying to hear that their bussiness, “Greedy Thai Partners” is going to the dogs without you. I’m glad that due to their abhorent behaviour they are getting a little financial payback for their actions so quickly. Although that is the least they deserve.
My heart goes out to you bro and i wish you all the best in your current fight.
Chok dee!
George
Mate, I’m truly sorry to hear the crap that has happened to you. You were always the down to earth one that helped out with sincere and genuine advice and always stopped for a chat. I can’t believe that they’re doing this bullshit stunt on you and I hope that you win in the Thai courts.
I recommended lots of my friends to go to Phromthep and I would say easily about 20-25 of them over the years have gone there. I will email them now to let them know what happened and also update my facebook status with this news.
Greedy people should get their punishment …
Good luck with the new gym and if you have any weight loss / muay thai camp recommendations in Pattaya then that would be great!
Hey!
I was just recommending a Muay Thai place to my friend that is going to Phuket for two months and read your stories. Shocking news!
We were with you in 2010 and had a great time getting fit – such a shame.
I hope it all turns out well.

Hey Danny, I was at rawai a couple years ago when you were managing the place. How come you left?
Sorry to hear about phromthep and your piece of shit business partners
and im really sorry to hear about yib i really enjoyed him as a trainer and thought he was a good guy
Anyways what gyms could you recommend now in phuket and bangkok
Hope everything works out for you
Thanks
Hello Vincent
I left Rawai bacause of differances between me & my Thai business partners… The Gym was no longer repesenting the quality that I wanted it to be. (Too much Party and not enough focus on fitness & self improvement) .. This is whay I built PHROMTHEP Muay Thai Camp … but my Greedy Thai business partners had other plans …
I will open a NEW GYM at Phuket very soon with Master Toddy .. The Quality of his training is AMAZING, he teaches to WIN the fight, not just to fight.
Master Toddy and his trainers NEVER let sloopy techneique pass in the gym… its So differant to the other gyms in Phuket teach.
Master Toddys New Phuket GYM will be open at Rawai beach around May / June 2012.

Hi Danny
I have been reading with interest your unfortunate circumstances. I did meet you and spoke briefly to you whilst I was in Phuket last year at the gym.
I could see the incredible effort you had put into the gym etc and the enthusiasm you had towards the gym and students.
Owning a gym in South Australia I do realise the effort that goes into this type of venture and for it to be taken from you would be devastating.
Now you can put your teachings into practice by holding your head high, battle each round as it comes and with 100% determination and commitment the fight will be won.
All the best.
Regards Darren
Nice advice coach
Oi Danny, been struggeling the last couple weeks with my on shit going on, but brillant to hear that ur going well!!! been in the phromthep the start of december, just wasn’t the same without you…no karma left in the gym, trainers didn’t give a damn about the students…hope ur project will be going great with master toddy!

danny, wishing you good luck!!! i almost booked the training but thanks god i found you blog and now i know what sh*t hides under nice images. i REALLY hope you will be able to come back to phuket to open a new gym, please keep us updated and see you there!
Hi Danny…..I only spent two weeks training at your gym last May with my wife Neyrouz, but really enjoyed the experience and chatting with you. I left with a broken toe, and every time it aches it reminds me of the great time I had and skills that I learnt. We were planning on returning for two months in March, but after reading your blog will pass and go elsewhere. Good luck in your future endeavours. Paul & Neyrouz
Hell of a thing mate,
Sadly seen it all to many times, most often by mugs that buy houses for whores. In these here parts the falang is seen as fair game. Hope it all works out with Toddy.
p.s (dont want to piss on your parade but I would give up the idea of the lawyer, Thai courts will rule in the Thai peoples favour 99.5% of the time regardless of the evidence as to who is right. You will be throwing good money after bad.
That business doesn’t run without you, like alright the website is a recruiter but the tour when you first arrive and mentioning the things available in the restaurant and how they are beneficial eg. smoothie/coconut/electrolytes, and just giving you the general feel of the place, I can’t see any of them doing that, like they might say ” we have green smoothie” it’d be like so what? whats the significance? I think you’ll know what I mean.
So many people make that mistake about proprietors of businesses, and they edge em out thnking they can do the same without em and they can’t, I bet not a single person who works or worked at that gym knows what Danny said to us when we arrived and what he said to us on the phone, so what makes them think they can replace him so easy, anyway I’m mentioning this stuff because I’m aware of it. I have no stake in it so don’t see the need to raise my head above the parapet. I’ll just say I thought you were sound Danny and I wish you all the best in whatever it is you do now, same to your bro as well.
Hi Danny, mate this is devastating, but not surprising…….doesn’t matter what race, age or society, greed is prevalent, and mostly by those too damn lazy to go out there and earn it themselves…..But they will find this out, the hard way…..us Anzacs are battlers, fighters, and winners……..we are the ones that get up one more time than we have been knocked down, we are the warriors, we are the ones that are at peace with ourselves, and the ones that will conquer all. Let me now when this shit is behind you, and let’s bring yourself and master toddy to oz…….let me know when Jorm is ready, cos I’m keen to get him back here again too.
Cheers mate, winners never quit, and quitters never win…….
Danny,
Heard what happened. Wish you best of luck. You’re the person who creates the waves. Goong and the other low lives just try to float on them. Soon (and already are) they will find out that they have done very bad. Karma will strike.
Wishing you strength, vision and good luck.
Best wishes,
Lennard
Danny, Sorry to hear of your drama at phromthep muaythai camp.
When I trained at Phromthep YOU were the life behind the gym.
YOU helped me get settled whhen I first arrived, YOU drove me around the neighbourhood and showed me where everything is. YOU helped me with my diet & weigh loss, YOU were their to help me when I had any issues at the gym.
In my month training at phromthep I only knew who Goong was because her and her family were eating in the restaurant. If she thinks she can replace YOU then she is sadly mistaken. Dont let their Bull Shit get you down mate, YOU are a high acheiver, YOU will go on to BIGGER and BETTER things.
You have our support 150%.
Sincerely Dave & Sandy Mascott
when you have your new gym I want to be a student of yours please keep the blog updated. good luck )))
