They tend to be not inexpensive here, you'll find some in Tesco and Big C but quality is not great and they're still not cheap. Have you considered putting the money towards a gym membership instead.

Hi I did consider a gym membership here but because I go to work 5-6 days a week and we are about to have a baby in a few month I wanted the convenience of working out at home. I'll have a look at what's out there but I suppose I could send one from Oz if the quality is really not great.

If you check around the hotels you'll find that many of them have gyms and they'll sell you a membership, often quite expensively. I've got one such membership here in CM that costs 10k baht a year so there's no great loss if I don't use it as often as I should. The other aspect with gym membership and a busy lifestyle is to try and arrange your schedules so that the gym visit becomes part of your daily routine, you only need 45 minutes to an hour - compare the 10k against the 90k or so you're likely to spend on equipment and it makes a lot of sense.

I had a multigym years ago. If I was going to do it again I'd just get a bench, bar bell, dumbbells, and buy one of the captains chairs with pull up bars.

I work on various oil rigs with all kinds of cheap and space saving gym set ups and these work well. Just gotta get a bit creative with your workouts. Look for second hand weights as the weights last for ever. As for the bench, if it wobbles don't buy it

Well for 30.000-40.000 you get already a lot: http://www.gymware.com/gateway_strength6.html

So with the hotel for 10.000, it would be 3-4 years. Considering that you have the place at home, you would also safe time.

On the other hand, even a poor hotel gym has more options to use than what you can buy for 40K.

You'd do all right with that power rack for 40 odd k + weights.

Top of Pattaya Tai on the left ( if you are coming from Sattahip ) on that little slip road before the lights.

Was trying to post an image , on other sites you hit the little green image thingy and you can browse your computer .

On TV it does not allow you to do that , or does it ?
