Day 7
http://spidertangle.livejournal.com/84348.html
Last night, went to dinner with a Thai friend-of-family, old student and semi-colleague. Excellent seafood restaurant, made me realize we haven't become top-Thai-chefs just yet! It was lovely talking with him, sharing travel stories plus getting advice on what to do next.
Later, watched Muai Thai at a fun / seedy arena. Not serious fights (you get the feel they all know each other and aren't out for real blood, similar to fencing competitions but more painful). Seating around the ring was hosted by various bars, with associated lady-boys, beer-girls, kids hawking souvenirs... classic.
