Our story

Yod Khao means
“mountain top”

And that's where you'll find us: up in the hills of Ban Tai, with the jungle all around.

Dario wanted a place where you can stay in a comfortable bungalow while you train, and be part of a real community. Not just a gym you visit, but a place you live for a while.
