We headed off to Rajadamnoen stadium to watch some Muay Thai, kickboxing. The first thing we found is that a ticket costs twice as much for a foreigner (it is actually on the price list). There are two sections, 1/3 of the stadium is for the locals, and they are packed in like sardines, the other section is for foreigners and it is that sparse that there is about 5m between people. The locals are going nuts screaming at the fighters, screaming at the bookies.
They go for 5 rounds, each 3 minutes with a 2 minute break between rounds. There are no stops, one guy was got repeatedly elbowed in the head that he was bleeding everywhere. There are no stoppages for blood; I don't even think they would stop for broken limbs.

After enjoying watching various people getting the sh*t kicked out of them, we ventured towards Pat pong. This used to be the infamous red light district, but is now a haven for crooks and swindlers. The tourist trap is set, and the prices are way too high. But we got to see and feed and elephant down the road a bit. We feed it sugar cane.

We have also uploaded a couple of pictures of our finished suits. Let us know what you think.
