We took in some Thai Boxing last night. Very cool, and just like Sumo wrestling, there's alot of ceremony and tradition before the fight starts. They do some really cool dances and what looks like praying at each corner. It lasts for about what seems like 5-10 minutes, each fighters dance is slightly different and all done to crazy thai music that sounds like a drum and an off tune clarinet. Similar music plays while they are fighting, which they bob and weave to. I've uploaded one movie and pasted below, it was the first bout of the night between 2 six year olds..very entertaining, but it also felt a bit wrong.
I have a couple more movies of the big guys fighting, which got pretty bloody, but very entertaining. The internet here is a bit slow for uploads, so I'll have to get it on some other time. Very entertaining night though. Off to Krabi tomorrow.
