Gaz and Paul head to the tiger kingdom while me and Jordan chill by the pool all day, it's really hot today and we get chatting to a Finnish guy who's doing crazy backflips from the diving board. He turns out to be a snowboarder and a DJ, wonder if this guy is a Finnish version of Jordan, if so then I'm getting out of here, one Jordan is enough for me.
We go and watch the Thai boxing and walk to the stadium near the night Market. Once inside it's a paradise. A boxing ring dominates the centre of the huge room with small bars around the sides. There are hookers everywhere and pool tables in every bar. Were taken to our own bar with it's own pool table and hooker to get us drinks and whatever else you want. A couple of games of doubles pool and it's time to take our seats. Marc turns up out of nowhere, forgot that he was supposed to be meeting us.
The boxing is great and the hits look really painful. One guy takes a knee to the rib and it stops him instantly. The Swedish fighter has no trouble disbanding his Thai counterpart. The British woman fighter on next has more of a hard time. She takes an elbow to the eye in round 1 and has a really deep gash. The fight gets stopped in round 2.
By far the 2 best fights are the blind muay Thai where 3 guys are blondfolded and thrown into the ring, even the ref doesn't escape without getting a few hits. All 3 guys throwing haymakers at head hight hoping to hit something. The second is a staged fight between 2 Thai guys. One of then goes over the ropes and lands on the floor and the hits look real but there's too much going on for it to be real. The tip bucket comes around at the end sealing the fact that it's staged.
Once the fights are over hookers and ladyboys flood the bars, we make a hasty escape dodging a blatant ladyboy who is on the prowl for fresh meat. Dodged a bullet there.
