Why train in Koh Samui

Gulf island vibes - resort beaches, coconut groves, and a smaller but growing Muay Thai scene. Tourist-friendly gyms and show-style training - less fight-camp intensity than Phuket or Bangkok. Stadium shows and exhibition fights geared to visitors; more holiday spectacle than Bangkok-level cards.
