Next Muay Thai Tournament on Koh Tao Coming Soon

Don’t miss out on the next great fight night in the Sairee Thai boxing stadium. On May 16th at 9:30pm we’ll hear the gong for the first out of eight exciting Muay Thai fights. We will also see two European Thai Boxing fighters in action, Bee from Italy and Aleksander from Germany. Bee has been training at the Island Muay Thai Stadium in Koh Tao for more than two years now and we are looking forward to a very exciting fight here.

It’s wild at Koh Tao right now. We just had a truly great Under Water World Festival with lots of fun and live music. There is a Festival Pictures Gallery available on the Koh Tao Community Website with more than 250 pictures from several photographers. One of the festival highlights was the release of baby turtles and mini shrimps into the sea. another highlight was the life music with a touch of internationality by “Asto Na Pai”, a cultural mixed band from northern Thailand with beautiful gypsy music.

Following the Koh Tao Festival, we went right for Songkran, the Thai New Year. The water festival where just about everybody gets wet, very wet! Hope you’re not in bangkok today.

The next highlight is coming up only four days after Songkran; the next Thai boxing Tournament at the Sairee Stadium. In the evening of April 17th, at 09:30 the first gong will open the tournament. Steve Grayson will be fighting himself amongst many other local and western (Farang) fighters. One of the interesting fighters to watch out for, will be Jesse from Holland. He has been training at the Island Muay Thai stadium for quite a while now. Some of the Thai fighters we will see are

• Hanuman
• Samingchart
• Tawachai
• and Narubed

see you all at the 17th. Get there early to get a good seat. Beer and soft drinks are sold at the tent and there is always some fried chicken around in case you get hungry.

Steve just returned from Trang (Krabi Province) with another win on his account. Not without some colatoral damage though, he broke his pinky finger. Now since Steve Grayson was the first westerner ever to fight at a Muay Thai tournament in Trang, a year ago and we have the whole three rounds recorded, we thought it is a piece of Thaiboxing history that we would like to share with our readers. I won’t say much; the videos speak for themselves, just so much: That was no easy fight. Enjoy

Round 3

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.
