On the night that we went to the Night Market, Matt and I went to see a Muay Thai boxing match. The last time I had been to see a Muay Thai Boxing match was with Sarah Chipps in 2001 at the Ratchadamnoen Stadium in Bangkok. We were so sick from SARS that we couldn't enjoy it and had to leave early! So, I was excited to see another boxing match when I was feeling better.
We bought ringside seats, but it was sort of ridiculous because the stadium was so small. Actually, it wasn't even a stadium, it was more like a hanger for a crop dusting plane or something. All the people that were ringside were sunburned white tourists and Thai policemen, and all the people that weren't ringside were Thai. It was a funny boxing match cause all the boxers were children and teenagers. The crowd was really into the matches though since all of the old men were betting. It would have been fun to know what they were yelling. It was a fun night.
