Food:
Your meals are managed by yourself. In the general area KFC, Pizza Hut, Pizza Company, really great Thai food, Halal food and lots of Thai food. You'll be training hard and eating lots too. Plan on spending at least 200 baht / day on food (excluding expensive Western food like Pizza Hut.)

Location.
The gym can be found near Wat Putta Bucha, a nice quiet location in a technical college community. In the general area there are many Thai food stalls, 7-11 Stores, coffee shops, internet cafes. There are also a few nearby Mosques, Halal food and Islamic market. Western grocery stores like Tops Supermarket and Jusco, Pizza Company, Piza Hut, Swensen’s Ice Cream. The Gym location is 10minutes by taxi to Central Rama II, which is an air-conditioned mall with western food and shopping. This is a great location to train in the peaceful suburbs of Bangkok, and not be involved with the hustle and bustle of downtown city life.
