Thai Boxing
Muay Thai or Thai Boxing
is a martial art thousands of years old. Different from Western boxing
it includes kicks and punches performed with elbows, knees and feet
as well.
There are many different
techniques used, some intended to hurt the opponent immediately, some
only to keep him away or put him off balance before striking out with
the next attack.
Once a week, normally
on Saturdays, there are competitions in the bigger towns along the Gulf
of Siam Coast. These are real fights, sometimes with fighters coming
from other provinces and they are a "must go" for the local male population.
Fight Night starts normally
at 21:00 and the entrance fee is 300-1000 Baht.
