So after spending one week in Bangkok I headed down to Hua Hin to spend 4 weeks training Muay Thai at the renowned Sitjaopho gym, guided by Kru F. The speed of Hua Hin was drastically slowed down compared to Bangkok, crossing the streets here wasn't an arduous task like it can be up there.

If not, don't worry; I have a ton of photos and videos just for you. 😄 Backstory The whole reason I got a motorcycle license back in April was to have my

I Spent the last couple of days talking about a bike ride, but never got to it as the evening rolled around. I did, however, manage to go for a walk, and take photos.
