Great Ideas for a Thailand Gap Year

The Best Thailand Gap year ideas.

Thailand gap year programmes are increasing in popularity. Here are some handy tips for you if you are hoping to go on a Thailand Gap Year. There are many different activities you can do You may want to laze about on a beach, perhaps you have more upbeat things in mind. No matter what you plan to do on a Thailand gap year there's loads of things to consider

Loads of individuals Thailand gap year by backpacking around the country, which is a brilliant method to check out all the sites and experience Thailand. Backpacking in Thailand is superb, but can offer some limitations. The most exciting way to take your Thailand gap year is to enjoy living in one place, getting involved in a project or Thailand gap year programme. This is perfect if your want to experience Thailand and integrate with the local population getting to know the country.

Myself, I like sports Not being one for volunteering projects, I like some action, so here are my top programmes I would recommend to get involved with on a Thailand Gap year.

Head to a Muay Thai fitness camp
Lots of travellers go to Thailand to train in May Thai. Muay Thai is great for getting fit and happens to be the national sport. it's also a very powerful fighting system. The greatest thing about this is you really integrate with the local society. Depending on where you study you could have lots of experiences.

Learn to dive
Diving in Thailand is really cool. There are loads of things to see under water. Learning to dive whilst on your Thailand Gap Year is the perfect way to spend lots of time there.

Learning to dive is very easy. There are structured programmes that you can study allowing you to learn to different levels. The most popular option, for spending lots of time out there is to go for your is to do your Dive master. The Koh Tao divemaster course lets you dive as much as you want and live life to the full on an island in the tropics.

Learn yoga
Yoga is a great way to get health and fit. One place on Koh Tao in Thailand offered by Xtreme Gap year. The yoga centre is located on the beach under coconut trees. Heaven.

Become a freediver
This one you don't hear about every day. Freediving is being able to dive using your breath underwater down really deep. Meaning that you will be able to spend lots of time underwater without any limits.

There is a real gap between the capabilities of a freediver and scuba diver.

Get really fit!
The first thing that comes to mind with Thailand is not lots of exercise. With a Thailand fitness boot camp and MMA training centre you will get really fit there.
