Having travelled all over the world, I'm embarrassed to admit that I have not had the chance to visit my own neighbour, Thailand until I was 33. Come International Muay Thai Day in Bangkok, I decided to catch the "Muay Thai Live: The Legend Live" show at the Asiatique Bangkok arena in early 2019.

The long way down from the hike. Scenery that is sold on pictures, I saw it up-close. Another postcard-worthy snap. In the midst of exquisite beauty. Amazing rock formation underneath the Golling.
