there has been a coup twice ive been there and had no bother at all
tiger muay thai is decent, the bjj isnt world class but they do usually have guests there, they had a black belt brazillian doing privates there and a few seminars and john fitch did a seminar while i was there:thumb

You'd probably get a cheapish flight aswell with all this bad publicity from the recent conflict.

Tiger muay thai is in Phuket which is about 500+ miles away from Bangkok, so if your flight is to BKK (probably will be) stay at the airport and get a flight with Thai Air to HKT
You can get flights to Phuket from UK airports but my theory is it might be cheaper to get two flights as BKK flights would of gone down in price considerably. When we flew to HKT from BKK a few years ago it was alot dearer to book the flight online (western prices) but in the airport it was local prices.

PHUKET: The Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) has imposed emergency law in 15 more provinces in the central, northern and northeastern parts of Thailand, CRES spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said.

Phuket, however, is not on the list of affected provinces and remains calm, as it has been since the red-shirt demonstrations began two months ago.

The 2nd and 3rd region Army commanders are in charge of maintaining order in the affected provinces.
.
Phuket airport is open to both domestic and international flights and is operating normally.

Talking flights.

Im going Thailand end of July into Aug.

Cheapest I found is approx 720 to BKK, any of recommend any places I can get it cheaper?

Cheers for the help lads! I'm sure when I looked a whille ago flights where around 550 but tht may well of not included taxes ect, ill have a look this weekend n let u know what I find. Where abouts are u going?

Right i've spoke with my bro chris (big traveller whos been Thailand plenty of times) hes basically said he wouldn't recommend a specific website as they change all the time, the site offering the cheapest flight today will be the dearest tommorow so he advises to just bing/google: cheap flights to bangkok

he says bangkok will be cheaper than straight to phuket simply because theres more flights going into BKK, and he said its also cheaper flying from London as again more flights are going out of london than say manchester/birmingham. more flights equals more price options.

sound advice steez

expedia, sta travel, airline network. Cant go wrong with them for flights, Il be amazed if you can get a flight £10/20 cheaper than any of them 3 sites get a flight to BK then an internal flight to phuket, will cost you about £100 (thats what it cost me last time) and book direct on thai airways web site. If you really want to do it cheap they have bus's that go there but its summat silly like 13 hours and stuff has been known to get pinched out of peoples luggage in the luggage compartment below the bus

thanks for all the advice guys!!! got my flights booked now only thing im not 100% sure on is do i need a specific holiday insurance to be training out there? i googled it but cant really find anything...
