Brilliant brilliant brilliant! John and I had been going on about going to watch real mauy Thai, and tonight we did. Wasn't cheap at £20 per ticket (this was the cheapest) but a great night. 6 matches, 5 rounds each 3 minutes long. First was two young lads, weighting bout 70lbs each. They do a little Thai dance in the ring (a ritual all the fighters did) then a nod of the heads then it's round 1. I got well into it. Johns side wore blue shorts, mine in red. T...

More worrying seeing as though this would be our home for 8 nights during the cricket. Not helped by the cockroach that me...

I know I know, I know what some of you are thinking.travelling around the world, in Bangkok and Claire goes to fitness first to work out...sad! But hey, it's my alcohol, my buzz, the thing that injects me with energy and fire in my belly.
