Muay Thai Boxing Toughens Up Sports And Leisure Destination Facility In Phuket, Thailand

Muay Thai Kick Boxer Strengthens Sports and Leisure Destination Facility in Phuket, Thailand

The competition to become the world’s top international sports facility just became tougher as Phuket International Academy Sports and Leisure Club (PIASLC) has named former Muay Thai champion “Thanootong’’ Prasert Intanoo to manage the martial arts program at the new Phuket, Thailand sports centre.   Just as muay thai kickboxing requires perseverance and talent, the appointment is a further example of the PIASLC recruiting top professionals to work at the up-and-coming first-class facility and help position it as the premier sports and leisure destination in Asia.

Phuket International Academy Sports and Leisure Club (PIASLC) offers numerous first-class sports, wellness and recreational facilities in operation with more under construction and  planned to be finished over the next year.

The PIASLCis organized into specialized sports academies.  The new appointmentof Prasert Intanoo should push the Martial Arts Academy to the forefront.   The PIA Aquatics Academy and the Football Academy have already established themselves as leading programmes. BSS uses Futebol de Salao (FDS).  The training and game is known for a 5-a-side version of soccer with origins in South America.  FDS is played with a smaller (size 2), and slightly heavier (465gm) ball that has very little bounce to it.   Now Muay Thai joins the top-rated youth soccer training programme available at the highest regarded sports and recreation facility in Southeast Asia.

Former Thailand national flyweight champion Khun Prasert was a Muay Thai professional kickboxer for 15 years with an outstanding record of seventy victories.  He graduated from university with a degree in physical education.  He went on to work for the Marriott hospitality group as a Muay Thai trainer, and in his position as Recreation Supervisor directed wellness, corporate teambuilding and kid’s zone activities. Khun “Nok” (his Thai nickname) is also a certified Pilates instructor and certified by the Thai Yoga Institute as an instructor.

The PIASLC is a component of the Phuket International Academy (PIA).  PIA  is a revolutionary sports, education, arts and wellness complex sited in Phuket, Thailand.   It comprises three synergistic centres: the PIA Day School, the PIA Sports and Leisure Club, and the PIA Mind Centre.  They offer students, parents and those from the wider Phuket, and international communities, a modern, sustainable facility which focuses on education, sports, arts and wellness.  Located in the northern reaches of Phuket, just 15 minutes from Phuket International Airport, PIA also includes two 38-room boutique hotels and a broad range of facilities ideal for corporate retreats, seminars, and teambuilding programmes and events.  The view of Phuket International Academy is to fulfill the intellectual, physical, creative and spiritual possibilities of all students, members and participants of the three centres.  

The Phuket International Academy Day School (PIADS) is working to develop into a three programme International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. As a leading international school in Phuket, it will draw upon the uniqueness of Asian culture with the best from Western educational traditions, to cultivate inquisitive, knowledgeable, and empathetic young people who know how to conduct their lives with honor, cultivate true happiness, and who work toward a more peaceful and sustainable world.

The PIAMC will  deliver  a combination of contemporary psychology and neuroscience together with traditional Asian meditative practices.  Featuring accessibility, the Phuket International Academy Mind Centre conducts retreats and seminars. Working in close interaction with the PIA Day School and the PIA Sports and Leisure Club, the programmes offered by PIAMC will contribute to everyone’s improved mental balance and wellbeing.
