Muay Thai

An unexpected highlight from my trip was visiting a local Muay Thai bout in Chiang Mai.  Not being a huge fan of boxing generally, I found that I really enjoying the ceremony and speed that I witnessed in these young fighters.  They fought during a down pour that flooded the streets.  Photographing while avoiding leaks streaming through the tent was a challenge, as was keeping up with the boxers.
