The next stage of my Thailand muay thai adventure is set in Hua Hin, a coastal town a few hours drive from Bangkok. I am living and training at Sitjaopho gym, about 15 minutes drive from the town. The gym is run by Phet-tho and Petch-eak, brothers and former champions renowned for their beautiful muay thai style. Petch-eak is currently away from the gym, recovering from surgery on his leg, leaving Phet-tho (also known as Eff) to run the place along with a handful of trainers.
November 10th 2013- I fly out to Phuket, Thailand for 4 weeks on intense Muay Thai training. July 2015- I finally headed back out to Thailand, this time for 3 months, starting in Bangkok before heading to Diamond muay thai on Koh Phang Nan, followed by Sitjaopho gym in Hua Hin. This blog is intended to document my time in Thailand, both in and out of training, and perhaps offer help, advice and guidance to those who wish to train the Art of 8 Limbs in the country that spawned it

Halfway Point- Highs and Lows
I did it. I won my fight. The main reason for me
coming to Thailand was to train and fight, to become a better, stronger
fighter. After losing my first three fights (one in Phuket, the others back in
England), I had finally got that first win. To top it off, it was a great fight
against a skilled and experienced Thai, which ended via TKO in the 4th round
due to leg kicks.
