I got outside the immediate environs of the Muay Thai Institute (MTI) for the first time during this visit. I spent the morning at the weekend market and strolling Jatujak Park.  Which are relatively close and easy to get to from MTI . They’ll be fights this afternoon at the Rangsit Boxing Stadium, and then rest day will be over and it’ll back to the gym starting tomorrow at 7am.

“The title of this post doesn’t make a lick of sense?” you say.

But it does. This is my 1,300th post, and I’m going on travel for a few weeks to train muaythai at the Muay Thai Institute in Rangsit, Thailand. I may or may not post during the next three weeks depending upon what kind of pummeling I sustain to the brain-pan region.

I’ll leave you with a thought for the day: If everybody around you holds the same beliefs as you, you’re not a member of a community, you’re a member of a cult.
