School girls walk in and out of class holding hands, motorbike taxi drivers sit waiting for fares with arms slung around each others’ shoulders and groups of... more

- My fourth attempt at finding a Muay Thai gym suitable to train in and fight for led me to Chakrit Muay Thai - a club that was well kitted out but surprisingly light on students. It was on my route to work and I had thrown a glance at it many times, but there never seemed to be much going on. I eventually dropped in and got chatting to Ek, a... more

- Once I was changed and ready to get going in the famed Rompo Muay Thai Gym, a sweating trainer took a break from munching on a tooth pick to tell me to grab a skipping rope and start jumping it in the sunshine outside for the next 20 minutes. Outside I got chatting to a Ukrainian guy of around 20 who told me had amassed some 40 fights. He lived... more

- “OK! We will buy a pig and kill it, you can cook it and everyone can have a big, like, feast!” said a glassy-eyed Robbie, clearly getting a feel for life in the jungle on the Thai-Burmese border.“You want pig?” asked our guide Tony, with a theatrically raised eyebrow.“Yeah we do! Can you get us one?” I half... more

- When myself and my travelling companion arrived in a tiny, isolated village in the jungle highlands close to the Burmese border after eight hours of trekking we were struggling to stand.
