Chiang Mai (pt II)

Muay Thai Boxing was on my Thailand bucket list. I managed to meet a New York girl at Chiang Mai’s night market, and an adventure was born. We ate dinner together and our conversation drifted to boxing. We found a sketchy outdoor boxing ring in a soi* and watched men and women of all ages and nationalities. Muay Thai has 6 rounds and is a combination of kicking, punching, and body slamming. Although I didn’t quite know what was going on, I still enjoyed myself and the great company.

    1. Thank you thank you thank you for reading and supporting, and your words of encouragement. I'm having a great time--learning lots about myself, meeting interesting and inspiring people, and challenging myself daily. I'm headed to Cambodia in about a week. I'll let you know how it is.
