Lumpinee

Today is June 22nd. Ryan and I have been in Southeast Asia for the past four days. Since this is the first chance I've had to blog, I am going to start in chronological order. We started in Bangkok for one day and managed to see a Muay Thai kickboxing fight at Lumpinee Stadium. We bought the cheapest seats available to foreigners; a wopping $30. The cheap seats are the best in my opinion, because that is where all of the locals stand.



The incredible thing about these matches is that there is an incredible amount of betting that takes place. Even more impressive is that one is able to switch their bet at anytime during the fight. So, when one fighter obtained an advantage, a flury of men, with a cigarette in one hand looked like a third base coach telling a runner to steal second with his other. It was extremely cryptic and I could not figure out for the life of me what the different types of bets were.
