As regular readers of Gaygoat.com will already know, back in 2013 I travelled to Thailand and trained with Master Pimu of WPT Gym. It has taken a while but Bob from The Higher Way and I have finally got together to record the podcast below. Please do share your...
Where It All Began
IN THE BEGINNING
It is finally here…..!
I came to Thailand at 95 kg and leaving at…..
This post has been written on my final day in Thailand. The journey, to say the least, has been a rollercoaster, physically and mentally, there have been many times I have wanted to quit and go home, so glad I did not leave. As you know, training is twice a day and...
Taxi Ride…..
Hope you enjoy the following video of a taxi ride from Salaya to downtown Bangkok. This journey took longer then usual due to the traffic, well, Bangkok is one of the worlds most congested cities! https://youtu.be/sachB0ZIT7s Taxi ride
What is that…..?

Yellow Market, Salaya, Thailand…..
One of my favourite pastimes whilst here is to walk to the 'yellow market.' I just adore seeing the various kinds of fruits and vegetables. The meat, fish and eels are a sight to be seen! Today, there were many more stalls because of the forthcoming Chinese New Year I...
Weekend Antics…..
Over the weekend I did not train or do any exercise, apart from some walking. Which in my eyes is not really an exercise! On Saturday I visited Chatuchak Market, once only popular among wholesalers and traders, Chatuchak Weekend Market has reached a landmark status as...
