Did I Mention Seanchai Is In The Building?

Well he is and he is playing snooker behind me as I write this.

Okaaaay! So Sunday was yesterday, I got lazy and didn't update. So today is a two for one!!! Sunday was a nice and chilled one, bit of a break from the training. Quick breakfast than off to MBK. It was my first time to MBK due to my last trip to BKK ending early with me severing tendons in my toe! May have been my first time there but it didn't last I was on a mission to get to a store called "Action Zone" for some muay thai gear. My directions were "Go down Rama1 road bout 800m and its on the left next to other soccer/sport stores." So I come across a few sport stores... maybe 80 of them! No Action Zone to be found, but during my search we found a Twins store that stocked alot of Twins gear real cheap and bought some bag gloves.

After that it was off to the weekend markets, reasonably happy with myself and my purchase we jumped a tuk-tuk to Chatuchak Markets, seconds after boarding this unsafe vessel we spot Action Zone... Shit! Ah well only 3 weeks to go back there. After being dropped at a jewelry store so our driver could get a fuel voucher it was off to Chatuchak Markets! We got there, did the tourist thing, shopped, took pictures and frustrated shop keepers with ridiculous offers and really bad Thai.
Some fruity Vans at the market.
Back to the base! Lunch and light Sunday arvo training with Orono, I think he'd have been a bit more keen to hold the pads and do some technique with us if we had the boobs... Seems to have lost his spark. Now off to the massage parlour. Mr Coke asked "now do you want proper massage or fake massage, up to you?..."
"PROPER!" quickly followed and he chuckled to himself. After that it was bedtime early to prepare for the 6am run we have yet to do...

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"
6am is upon us as is the two redbulls i bought from the 7Eleven the night prior. 6km later I wasn't feeling too bad suprisingly. Even after running beside a main road for 3km of it. Usual routine followed, bagwork, pads and few hundred knees on the bag, followed by shower and well earned breakfast of suasage, egg and fruit platter!
Boon Shop!
Now off to Boon and Fairtex with our Canadian friend Tony and American pal Max. Plenty of Boon apparel purchased and more to be purchased/ordered tomorrow... Few custom short joints to be made, Siked! After a few confusing phone calls made by the taxi driver and a very handy phone call from my friend Tussana we were on our way to Fairtex... I love people that can speak Thai and English and know their way around BKK!
Tony lurkin the boon store.
FAIRTEX
Fairtex facillity is ridiculous... Very clean, alot of rings and gear and some good trainers. A little above the cost of other good gyms but you're payin for the name. We wandered through the main eating/hanging place inside the complex, seemed to me that everyone there had a chip on their shoulder. Aside from them jerks it was a decent place. Had a little gander in the shop. All very well presented and good price. I'm not usually a fan of Fairtex's equipment but had to buy something so I purchased a nice set of Fairtex shorts, similar to the ones I have signed by Yod at home.

Back to camp, but first the 7Eleven for a few bottles of gatorade...10 or so lost count! Afternoon training was on like Donkey Kong. Straight on the bag then into the ring with one of Seanchais Pad holders and Seanchai right there watching my every move. Was a little intimidating but more so badass! Learnt a few cool little moves and got some nice compliments! Three rounds later and a few hundred sit ups was time to hit the shower, write this blog then off to meet up with our friend Tussana!

WHAT A COUPLE OF DAYS! If any of my new American friends read this you guys should have stayed a couple extra days... Jus sayin... Oh and here is me with Seanchai!
