Detox bath @ Phuket Thailand
Today more than ever we are exposed to more stress, less sleep, less exercise, chemicals, pesticides, food additives, drugs, nutritional depleted foods, bad eating habits and the list goes on.
The end result of our fast paced life style is low energy, shorter life and illnesses that most of us pass off as getting old.
You can remove large amounts of TOXINS from your body by bathing for 20 - 30 minutes in a HOT bath mixed with 2 cups of Bentonite clay.
After the detox bath you will feel totally drained and have a STRONG desire to sleep.
Don't fight it, go and have a sleep as soon as possible & when you awake you will have more energy than you have experienced in years.
After you wake up from your sleep you will feel like you have just rebooted your system (similar to rebooting your computer), After you awake from your sleep You will feel recharged & notice a HUGE increase in energy & a VERY relaxed feeling mentally & physically. Your skin will feel VERY soft & smooth + you will notice a HUGE increase in your sexual appetite.
The cost of the Detox bath = 2500 Thai Baht.
Included in the price is a one hour Thai massage + a cup of freshly made Ginger & honey tea to sip on while you are relaxing in the Detox bath

How to bring your Bike to Thailand
If you want to bring your own bike with you to Thailand for triathlon training then you should go to your local bike shop and buya bike transport bag. A bike transport bag will stop your bike getting damaged during transportation.
If you are doing it on the cheap... you can use thick cardboard & lots of duck tape to protect the gears & spokes. Take off the peddles & turn the handle bar so its flat with the frame & takes up as little space as possible. Don't forget to deflate the air from your tyres or the air pressure at altitude will blow them.
The airline will ask you to check the bike in @ the over size luggage desk.
As long as your total weight is under 29kg you wont be charged for access weight.
Airline charges for excess weight is approx $20 USD per KG.
10kg over would cost you approx $200 USD.

Travel Warning The Full Moon beach Party
Drunk/ intoxicated tourist make easy targets for criminals!
10% of the gym students that go to the Full Moon Party at Koh Phangan have their wallets or mobile phones stolen.
To lose your ATM card/ credit card/ passport/ mobile phone and your cash is a major inconvenience that could leave you stranded at Koh Phangan with no money for your boat fare/ bus fare back to Phuket.
If you plan to PARTY @ the Full Moon Party then be smart & think adead !
Prior to departing for the party, check your wallet to see what you can not afford to lose, take with you what you need and leave the rest in a safe place back at the gym or in your hotel room at Koh Phangan.
It would be smart thinking to hide 1000 Baht ($30) cash in a different pocket incase of emergency.
Safe Sleeping Zones are available on the beach during the Full Moon Party but many of our students say it is when they were asleep in the" safe sleeping zones" that they had their pockets picked.
Beware of under cover Thai police trying to sell you drugs :)
