Well, the Thai boxing was interesting but I am assured that it can be better. The foreigners that were training here and scheduled to fight both conquered their Thai opponents. There were some impressive matches between youngsters who had fully defined abdominal muscles that would put most grown ups to shame. There were no Thais in the audience though and it wasn't really a stadium.
From what I have heard, one of the best things about Thai boxing is the atmosphere in the Thai crowd so I am going to try to get to a proper event before I leave Chang Mai. I am proud to inform you that I successfully completed my intensive 3 day quick introduction to Thai massage course thanks the patience and thoroughness of my teacher, Oye. Its a pretty physical pursuit and ironically considering the amount of massage I have had over the last few day, I feel as though I have been to the gym for a tough session.
Last night Milo, Katherine and I headed on down to the local discotheque, called Bubble (for those of you who know it) and, although we got there embarrassingly early, we ended up having a whale of a time dancing to the tunes of DJ Wit and his mates.
The end of the night felt a bit like a circus when the slow dances came on and there was a mad scramble in some corners. I am still facing the decision about how to get to Burma although taking a flight at least to get there is now a certainty.

One thing: I dunno if it has changed, but there wasn't any email or internet in Burma: at least not officially, and certainly not for the use of foreigners. But that was three-plus years ago. Could have changed, but it's unlikely. It really is a cvntish regime.
