My search for a new trainer brought me to the now defunct and abandoned Sit-O Gym. Approximately one year ago, I submitted a post on My Muay Thai stating the gym was closed. This was based on the testimonies of a number of people. We were all incorrect, it had moved. (Although, speaking to others in the business today, I was told it has been closed for the past three years…?) I suspect some of the confusion may be based in what is considered ‘closed’.
Regardless, being accompanied by a past Sit-O nak muay coupled with visiting a now unemployed Sit-O kru, I believe it is safe to say, Sit-O Gym Buriram is no longer in operations under any capacity in the city of Buriram.
Kaimukdam and Palangpon who had been training in Buriram but fighting under Rajadamnern Promoter and Chuwattana Gym owner, Chucharoen Raweearamwong’s managment since late 2009, are currently training and living at Chuwattana Gym in Bangkok. Kaimukkao has joined them. I believe the final move was in the earlier part of this year.
For more information on Buriram, please visit my other website Buriram Info. It’s a complete travel guide which offers hotel bookings, information on how to travel to Buriram, as well as multiple options of things to do.
Thanks for the info Laura, do you know the names of any gyms in the area that are still open?
hey tariq. as far as i know, there are two fully functioning gyms left in the city (and a ton in the country/smaller towns). currently in discussions with lookchaomaesaithong, a post should be up about it this week. the other is something to the affect of jaochowit
You should open a gym on the sit-o site : )
