The Thai boxing match was awesome - started off with little kids kicking each other until they passed out, and then moving slowly up through the weight catagories. Thai boxing is one of the most brutal sports i've seen! In 7 matches we saw, we wittnessed 4 knockouts! All of the knocked out stone cold - brilliant! Also saw a swedish thai boxer kick the living daylights out of a small thai guy who was a champion - kind of unfair as the swedish guy was about 4 times his size! At the end of the boxing, they put four thai boxers in the ring, and blindfolded them. Then they just let them swing at each other for about 20 mins - only in thailand!!!!
From Chiang Mai, we got on an air con bus (very nice, but had to pay a little extra - but it was worth it) to go to That Ton. It's a little town on the river, with loads of monks and temples all around. We were staying in a little guest house on the river, with great views of the surrounding hills. Walked up to the top of the hills, and saw a few temples. The views from up there were amazing! You could see all the way to the horizon, briliant when the sun went down. Went back to the hotel, and everyone played a few drinking games - some people got quite drunk... others got very drunk...
