Another weekend is coming to its end,but up here there is no such things as weekends and sundays of and so on.Everyday is a workday and the rice doesnt cut itself even if its sunday..and same thing goes for the camp,we train everyday,but im alone now at the camp,my friend baow(nungjakawan)has some days off after his fight.

And what a fight,we went to ubon in the morning and checked wheight with the promoters,and he didnt have to put on his rubbersuit and go run to make his wheight,so it started good,in the night we went back and before it was time i went to a bookie and made a bet of 1000bath on him to win.

the first 2 rounds he was lazy as hell,jost goofing around and laughing(as he does 24/7)

but in the 3 round he started moving inside on his opponent and fired away razorsharp knees to his opponents stomach and ribs in the clinch and you could see that he was in trouble,he started boxing towards baow out of desperation,but all he was hitting was air,baow moved around him perfectly and continued to land sharp knees(all the time with a big smile on his face)

in round 4 his opponent had lost all stamina from the knees and didnt do anything at all,so the ref stopped the fight!!

so TKO round 4 and hanky doubled up!!!!

It was a hell of a wedding asweell,it started in the camp in the morning and then in the night it was in a schools auditorium,about 250 people came!

I was the only sober person,so i didnt have that much fun,and the training was cancelled due to the wedding,so i got restless after my daily intake of 2 big cups of coffee,so i started help the ladies out and clean the tables and stuff,to all the mens amusement:)but i got tired of all the drunk people who wanted to drink and talk with the whiteguy..these cant stand their liquier..he he.

I followed a guy home,he was too drunk to ride his motorbike,he lived outside the village in the middle of a ricefield,so beutiful,I mean his house is like something i could build in a day with a hammer and some nail,but to live so close to nature..just beutiful.

his 10 year old son started to chase a hen around,and it took about 10 minutes to get the hen so tired so he could catch it,then he slid its troath and drained the blood in a jar,and began to rip its geather off...10 years old!!! His name is Saenchai,and i really like him,he trains with us,and he is always smiling and tries the few english words he know at me.

10 years old and already had over 10 fights and knows how to kill a hen,some kid i would say..

At the weedingparty i was wearing a thaiboxing t shirt,that said lumpinee stadium(the finest muay thai arena in thailand)and a guy at my table said that he used to be a champion at lumpinee stadium,and it turned out that he wasnt bullshitting.thought that was pretty cool.But half of the peopla there were old nakmuays(boers)because of my trainer ofcourse.we looked today at an old scrapbook that he got from his glorydays,amazing pictures,i will try to upload some soon,man he was strong as hell,he started to train when he was 18,wich is really old for thaipeople,most guys start when they are about 10 years old,but only after 2 years he was fighting in lumpinee and became one of the biggest fighters of that era!!!

the people named him Densiam(star of thailand).But in the end of his career,he fell in love with a girl selling snacks and soda at a stadium he was boxing at,and they married and he moved to her hometown Bahn Sangkeaw,and started up the camp Sor.Suwanne(suwanne is a mix of their lastnames)

and he ran the camp himself so he could only have 2 fighters,so all the kids in the village showed up at the camp to show that they were one of those 2.

He deicided for a small 9 year old called puja,and another guy.

Today puja is a superstar in thailand(world champion),and lately also Nungjakawan,and the camp is considered one of the best in thailand.

And some years ago a Swedish guy named henke went to thailand to train Thaiboxing and he went like many other tourists to koh samui,and trained there and there he fell in love with a thaigirl,she mentioned that her family had a muay thaicamp in her home village.But henke didnt think about this until there was a huge fundraising event in bangkok,all the biggest popstars,moviestars,and also thaiboxers would raise money for the tsunamivictims,and in the newspaper there was one boxer on the coverpage,and in the tv ad for the fundraiser he got the most airtime,and then henkes girlfriend said thats her friend,and henke asked her how she could know this superstar.

He grow up the house next to me ,he is the superstar of our camp named Sor Suwanne!!!

The boxers name was ofcourse Puja Sor.Suwanne and the girl henke had fell in love with was the young sister of the girl that densiam had married.

We went to the gala in bangkok and i meet Densiam for the first time(and puja)

and he invited me to the camp,and the rest is history iguess,I been training here a lot since then.

and Densiam speaks to me as his son,he really wanted a son that he could teach muay thai,but he got 3 girls,so when i got in the picture he took me in his family.

OOPs now he came in the door,we are going to eat out tonight,in thailand the family of the groom has to bring a weeding gift to the family of the bride so Densiam got 200 000Bath for his daughter last night,so i guess we are gonna eat good tonight!!!!!!!

ha det fint alla!!!

mvh Henke SOr.Suwanne
