Went for a Muay Thai event last night and my son and I had a good time. Even though there are not aircon, the place is well ventilated and you do not feel the heat much. We bought some VIP tickets for 1,900 baht each with a free t shirt which seems to be of a great quality. We actually were seated on the very first row and although I thought it might be too closed, it was great! The event started...

Before we went, we had watched some fights online (you can ...
