π 1st place CrossFit Open 2019 in Ko Samui ( certified fittest person on Samui and number 4 in Thailand )
Lamai Beach Crossfit is located on the beautiful tropical island of Koh Samui, in the bay of Thailand.
Lamai is the second biggest beach on Samui, and not as wild as Chaweng. It has a good mix of locals and ex-pats living here, blended in between resorts and sea-side localities.
Infrastructure
Samui has its own ( very nice ) airport that is operated by Bangkok Airways. Infrastructure wise you can find everything on Samui - there are many private hospitals, tons of pharmacies, 24 hour stores such as 7/11 and Family Marts. Big Retailers such as Tesco, Big C, Macro and Tops. You can even find a huge wine selection nowadays - and the best breakfasts - as there's over 4 french bakeries in Lamai alone!
Food
Food wise it doesn't matter if you like Thai food or not ( we love it ) - there are a lot of options here from Italian Restaurants, French Wine bars, Australian foods, Meat buffets, to Indian Food, many Vegan restaurants, etc. It's really hard to not find something to your taste on Samui!
For everything else - we order things online, and they usually arrive 2-3 days later here.
Internet
Thailand is a mobile-first country. What does that mean? That means that pretty much everywhere you can get a 4G signal. If your phone can get internet - you'll be settled for just around $10 with a steady internet connection.
Language
Since Ko Samui has many many resorts, there won't be any issues with communication on this island. The majority of service staff in resorts, restaurants and stores do speak English - or will be able to communicate with you with hand and feet.
And for the seldom case that you really need it - if you have your phone in your pocket with Google Translate - you'll be just fine.
Other Activities
There are a lot of activities that can be done in Lamai and on Ko Samui in general. Some of them are :
- - Visit Koh Samuiβs Famous Big Buddha
- - See Lamai's Hin Ta And Hin Yai Rocks

For backpackers there's also bus and ferry possibilities if you're coming from Bangkok - you take the bus to Cha-Am ( close to Hua Hin ), and then the ferry will bring you here, stopping first in Koh Tao and Koh Phangan.

"I met Mike in Bali, where he used to work as a coach. When I heard that he was setting up his own Crossfit box, it was clear that I would visit him. I've been doing Crossfit for about 3 years and Mike is one of the best coaches I've had.
He has a very good eye for the details in the exercises, gets the last percent in the workout out of one and through his loose and open nature, you just like to go to work out.
What is reflected in the community of the box. After only a short time he has managed to form a great community that also dines together or makes excursions. I felt welcome and comfortable from the first moment.
In the 2 weeks I was training every other day and once again realized that his training is simply the best.
All in all very recommendable.
πͺπΎπͺπΎπͺπΎπͺπΎπͺπΎ"
"Ich habe Mike auf Bali kennengelernt, wo er vorher als Coach gearbeitet hat. Als ich gehΓΆrt habe, dass er eine eigene Crossfit Box auf macht, war klar, dass ich ihn besuchen werde. Ich mache seit ca. 3 Jahren Crossfit und Mike ist einer der besten Coaches die ich hatte.
Er hat ein sehr gutes Auge fΓΌr die Details bei den Γbungen, holt die letzten Prozent im Workout aus einem heraus und durch seine locker und offene Art geht man einfach gerne hin zum trainieren.
Was sich in der Community der Box widerspiegelt. Er hat es bereits nach kurzer Zeit geschafft eine tolle Gemeinschaft zu bilden die auch mal Abends zusammen essen geht oder AusflΓΌge macht. Ich habe mich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und wohlgefΓΌhlt.
In den 2 Wochen war ich jeden zweiten Tag trainieren und stelle wieder einmal fest, dass sein Training einfach mit das beste ist.
Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen.
