Fight Night in Trang

Today, on the 25^th of January I’ll be on my way to a place called Trang near Krabi. So will catch the night boat from Koh Tao and travel all the way to the other side of Thailand. I will go to fight at a Thai Boxing Tournament in a small town called Bang Naa. This is the place where my Thai partner, Pi Thun comes from. An old friend of his is holding a Muay Thai Tournament for the local people and asked if we would come to fight. The reason he was asking is that they don’t get any westerners to come fighting there. I feel that I’m well trained and have spent the last two days resting and enjoying a good massage. Tonight I’ll be on a night sleeper boat to Suratthani, the main town of our province, and then we’ll take the bus to Trang. Wish me luck, hopefully it will go ok.

I’ll let you know in a follow-up here.
