Getting around Thailand for a training trip

Most training trips start with a flight into Phuket or Chiang Mai, a transfer to your camp or apartment, and then short local trips for training, food, and rest days. Here is how people usually move around.

Getting to your camp

• Fly into Phuket International or Chiang Mai International, the two main hubs for camps
• Arrange an airport transfer with your camp or a car through an app
• Some camps and guest houses offer pickup, so ask when you book

Getting around day to day

• Ride-hailing apps like Grab work in Phuket, Chiang Mai and Bangkok
• Songthaews and tuk-tuks handle short local trips
• Many camps sit within walking distance of food, shops and a room

Scooters, honestly

Scooters are cheap and common, but they are also where most travelers get hurt. If you rent one, wear a helmet, carry the correct license, and check that your travel insurance covers riding. A bad scooter fall can end a training trip before it starts.
