Bodybuilding in south east Asia

[bboy123]

I don’t really care much for partying or needing to go to the beach daily. I just like chilling gymming and eating so Bangkok or any major city I would be super content with. And I could make like a multi day trip to visit other cities. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

I actually prefer cities cause it usually has good restaurants and convenience of having everything I need in one place.

I really enjoyed Krabi and it's close enough to Koh Phi Phi or Koh Lanta if you want to throw in little trips. I'm unsure about gyms but there is a Tiger Temple with over 1,200 steps to the top if you are feeling leg day, its worth the view. There was a dog at the top somehow and I met someone from my home city up top as well.... small world.

Phuket isn't far off either but a little dirty. Pattaya seems to be popular but never got a chance to stop by. Bangkok might be the place for you if you are looking for top tier gym + restaurants.

Thanks for the suggestions! Bangkok seems to be maybe more what I’m looking for as I think a city will have everything I need and if I do want to get out I can always travel out. Whereas most people want to opposite of me and want to be on the beach

How did you find prices there? If you had to live for a month how much you think it’d run you? Accomadation/food/gym/the occasional tourist excursion.

Price depends on taste. I go yearly to Thailand for months. I want to try Phillipines. Just have not got there yet.

What city would you recommend?
Just looking for a nice clean apartment. Good gym preferably not old school with more fancy machines, good food (I usually cook my own meals 5/6 then one meal out) and some touristy stuff here and there. What budget would you say is enough for a month?

That… actually sounds amazing to me. I really just want somewhere to go for cheap with good food, access to gear and good gyms. And just enjoy life there with the odd tourist site seeing here and there. I am a big foodie so that’s usually the biggest draw for me.

What city should I look into? I may start doing some research.

Siem Reap (aka Ankor Wat). Phenom Phen can be dangerous at times, not Siem Reap. I ate at would could be a one star Michelin for $45USD. Vietnam has way more available and modern. Far better place to visit. No AAS available though. Take a read of my post in the general tab for Vietnam, there is a lot there.

I don’t need it to be super modern. As long as it’s decent enough with good food/gym and access to gear. I’m pretty content. Clean and nice Airbnb and I’m good to go!
I’ll look into Cambodia more though.
