What a day, made the morning training session. Once again got owned on the pads by Ton, getting accustomed to his style of pad holding now which is good... Just lacking in staminar due to not hitting pads in a while with the finger incident. After training we had a good solid breakfast of Steak and Eggs, very Thai. Then off for hour long oil massage all for $10! (No happy ending) After an hour of bliss it was time to visit another Mall, this one only 5 stories high, whatever.
Lunch, a quick rest and into an afternoon of training.
Quick skip, few rounds on the heavy bag and then into the ring with Ton again. Felt alot better in the afternoon. Technique was better as was staminar, I think knowing what I was in for now helped! After the pad rounds we did some technique with the Americans, Orono and the Thai teens. (One of them is 14 and had over 100 fights) The youngest one known as "fat boy" who has had 26 fights and is about 10 years old and about 4'10" showed two of our American friends how good 10 year old thai dudes clinch. He was a Machine!

Then it was my turn, to have a little spar with Mu, the 16 year old thai boy with 10 fights. Who I will also be cornerman for at Raja Stadium on the 21st. He smacked me up pretty good, but I did land a few flush headkicks.
Shower and dinner followed. Curtosey of MrCoke, the 13 Coins superstar!
Probably the best host I have ever met. Michael did some filming for him so he shouted us a table full of food to say Thanks and also to say goodbye to our American friends! Oh and far too much wine!
Farewell our American compadres!
Ralph, Jessica, Nicole and Rosie!
