Copa De Bangkok 2018 BJJ Tournament
Tip #1: Stay close to the tournament venue! For cheap and decent accommodation, we recommend booking Lub D Hostel Siam (you can get dorm rooms with up to 4 pax here). For mid-range hotels, try Ibis Siam or Kritthai Residence. All our recommended hotels are less than a minute walk from each other.
Tip #2: Book your flights early to avoid price hikes, and if possible, try not to arrive too late in Bangkok even though the flight is only 2.5 hours as you’ll need a good night’s rest!
Tip #3: Wear your Gracie Barra Gi to rev up that team spirit!
Tip #4: Since the weigh-in is on the day of the tournament, try to go easy with your weight-cut and not overdo it! If you’re unsure about which weight class you should be competing at, check with Professor Alisson.
