Tickets are booked, time off work arranged, gym picked, suitcase bought...the time approaches when I will begin my journey from the UK to Phuket, Thailand.
Twenty days to go, the nerves are setting in, all kinds of thoughts running through my head- why am I doing this? Is it a good idea? Will I get by on my own in a foreign country and culture?
I have never been out of the country by myself before, so this is a big step. It's exciting and scary at the same time.
I know these doubts are a normal reaction to doing something as potentially life-changing as training muay thai in Thailand. You might even say that the scariness of it means I am doing something right.
Well, we will soon find out...
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
