CJK1 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hello all, I am moving to Khon Kaen around October time and will be staying in Ban Salom near Phra Yuen. Can anybody recommend a Muay Thai and a weight lifting gym near by? Preferably within 20km but I don't mind traveling further if I need to. Also can anybody recommend a car hire company in Khon Kaen city or near Phra Yuen? I will be looking to rent a car for around 4 months. I don't turn 25 until the end of December and according to the airport website I cant hire a car as a 24 year old. Thanks in advance CJK1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issangeorge Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Must be nice to be so young. I can remember when I was waiting to be 25 so I could rent a car. Thirty-nine years later I'm surprised that rule still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 OK, here goes: If you come into Khon Kaen from the North, you would go past the Big C on the Right and then turn right at the next light which is Tanon BanKok. Follow that road in maybe 5 KM until you hit the 3rd 7-11 all 3 on the left. You will then see signs for a Muay Thai gym on the right and a sign for weight training facility on the left. I have no info on either but they are both recent additions to the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 avisthailand DOT com - they have a branch in Khonkaen, are a very reputable company that I have used on many occasions and offer very good rates for monthly rentals, particularly during low season and at not-so-sought-after secondary destinations such as Khonkaen. I would suggest to contact BOTH their HQ in Bangkok as well as their branch in Khonkaen and inquire, as you might get a different deal from each of them, then choose the better one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losworld Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 There is a motorbike rental place near the big Pullman hotel downtown. I think they rent cars as well. It is run by a local cop I believe. I rented bikes there couple times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzer3953 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 There are two muay thai gyms and two weights gyms off Tanon Bankok mentioned above. There's also a good muay thai gym closer to the centre of town, down the little soi that runs past Wine 22 called Pajornpai. One of the gyms off Tanon Bankok is actually the new Pajornpai, but the old one is for more traditional training. I can help you find any of the above if you are stuck.
