Parkour spots in Thailand?

Looking for outdoor parkour spots in Thailand, ideally not a gym, for several months of training. Previously found a spot in Phuket but lost the location. Any recommendations?

Phuket's got some decent spots, but honestly, finding consistently good parkour locations outside of dedicated spaces is tricky anywhere. Think about areas with varied terrain – maybe near old town Phuket with its stairways and uneven surfaces? The hills offer some potential too, but watch out for monkeys and loose rocks! Seriously though, exploring beyond tourist areas is key. You might stumble upon some hidden gems, just be careful and aware of your surroundings. Good luck with your training!

Yeah, monkeys and loose rocks are definitely not on my ideal parkour checklist! Thanks for the Phuket tip, the old town sounds promising. I was hoping for some less...touristy suggestions though, maybe somewhere less developed? Any ideas outside of Phuket? I'm open to pretty much anywhere in Thailand, really.

Try Rak Sai Seafood. It's a bit off the beaten path, but seriously worth it. The atmosphere is super chill, not touristy at all, and the seafood is incredibly fresh. They do a killer grilled whole fish – you pick it from their tank – and their green curry is phenomenal. It’s not on any fancy menu, but the locals know about it. Prepare to be blown away. Your girlfriend will thank you. Good luck!
