Floating rock, take it home and you will get sick...

Stack 9 volcanorocks for good luck

A contrast to yesterdays crazy night we got a nice breakfast, and a peaceful time up at the Big Buddha in Buriram.
We got good practice at stacking rocks and a nice overview ov Buriram Town.

Buriram Fightnight

The craziest drive ever... got lost so many times, it was raining as crazy. Isaan party people dancing in the rain. The fight got canceled, it startet to rain more, we got lost again on our way back, thought we where going to die, frog-collectors were out to scare us. we couldent see anything. driving on countryroads with big bumps, got carsick, used about 2 hours to get back home.
Will probably never experience such a crazy ride again. Home at 03.00 in the morning=no morning training... out to discover Buriram as a tourist.

Found a gym in Buriram that made us happy :) a 3 km run from our hotel, pretty perfect, exept ive got tons of blisters all over my feet, so took a tuk-tuk instead. 20min skipping, 3*10min rounds on the bag, 2*5min rounds on the pads, situps, pushups, hangups, stretching. A nice and easy morning training.
Some food and chill before afternoontraining then out to see one of the nakmuays from the gym fight.

Bye Bye Surin! Hello Buri Ram

The best duck-dish Ive ever had

Beautiful Nakmuays

Off we go!

Mormon predicants

Tuk, our hero of the day!

Got the buss from Surin to Buriram in the morning, almost got Mormonified. Changed to minibus to go to Satuek, got picked up by Tuk(Annas trainer from Phuket) drove back to Buriram(why did we go to Satuek in the first place?), drove around the whole city of Buriram to find a Hotel. There are plenty of f**k-hotels in Buriram, but not many normal ones. No we really do not need mirrors around the bed and free amount of condoms...
Anyways, we are now at a nice hotel, but without a gym. Our mission this evening: to find a good gym to train at in Buriram, shout out if u know of anything... 

To travel around in Isaan is a totally different experience. Its hard to find words...
My travelmates Jade and Dolly are the best, and this trip would definitely be one to remember! 

Surin day2

Tuk-Tuk ride to Surin City

Isaan food, chicken, som-tam in different versions and sticky rice

 

Jade and Dolly

This beautiful, crazy girl came to detoxify herself.

Did a nother 5km run in the afternoon heat, so warm and wet, got like tons of blisters all over my feet. Sucks, cuz i want/need to run! Training was good, but not really as hard as we thougt Isaan-Muaythai would be... Also went down town Surin for some nice Isaan food. Love the food here!

Dolly got here in the morning, and allready going hard on the training :)

Isaan FightNight

Jade, me and Trainer

Yeah

 

In the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere

Celebrated my birthday in the the countryside of Isaan, we drove an hour away from civilisation and ended up in nowhere where they had put up a ring. We where the only farangs, and people of Isaan dont mind to stear... We got announced as Nakmuays from the speaker and had(they did not ask us) to go up in the ring to give flowers to the fighters. It got really late and about 3 in the morning we drove home. Tired as #### but yeah, a cool and different eperience.

No Name Gym Surin

Muaythai-Chickens

Look at that floor

Isaan showed us how warm it was. Ive never been running in a heat like this. 5km and about 5liters sweat. Got to the gym, and its sure not like any other gym ive been to. No floor, just a bumpy mud ground, the mat in the ring was fixed about seventy times with different kind of matereal and chickens were running around. Had a fun and easy session with shadow boxing, and some padwork. My legs are still hurting a bit after my fight last week, but soonish ill be good to go.
