Phuket 2008

Took a week break from work and returned to my favorite island recently. The trip coincided with Zach's fight at Bangla Stadium and also the opening of Jomhod's new gym in Phuket-J.Prapar Thai Boxing Kiatadisak Gym.

Zach's Fight at Bangla

Zach won his fight by TKO when his Thai opponent injured his ankle and could not continue after being flung to the canvas from the clinch. Dazabar from the Contender Asia was cornering the fight for Zach.

A special mention about Sam from Patong Muay Thai Gym.

A former stadium champion, Sam is an awesome trainer and impressive fighter even at 41 years young! Those of you who want want more than a pad workout should train with him. I learnt lots of practical tricks and tips from him. He is an inspiration! I have decided to compete again after seeing him fight at 41 yrs!

He recently fought a guy 20kgs heavier than him and more than 10 yrs younger than him! It was an awesome fight! I will upload the fight on the blog soon...

Here is the next gym that i am gonna visit when i visit Phuket in May/June
Suwit Muay Thai
