Muay Thai boxing

The boxing ring was a few minutes from our hotel and our seats were ring side about six rows back. There were about eight matches one of which was an exhibition of traditional Muay Thai. Many of the matches had young boys that seemed to be eleven to fourteen years old with a few older men thrown in. The match was very orderly and the fighters showed sportsmanship and no mean streaks to be found. There was a Thai section and foreigner sections. The Thais were betting and the foreigners were watching getting served beer and snacks.
