Thai Boxing

Last night there were a series of boxing matches in the local ring here on Lamai Beach. Crowds came out for the fun - and we sat on plastic chairs that were divided into areas governed by different bars. I watched a few different matches - the first with men, the second with women fighting. There was a lot of preparation before the matches began - with each fighter saying prayers and performing pre-match rituals, including wearing lucky garlands of flowers and money around their necks.
