We have been looking for Glastonbury tickets, as these sell out very quickly we then decided to volunteer at Glastonbury through Oxfam, whilst on the site I decided to sign up for the London marathon, thinking as it is a lottery system I will not be selected. As luck...
Where It All Began
IN THE BEGINNING
The countdown has begun…..!
It is finally here…..!
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...
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…..?

Blending in…..
When traveling I love to blend in with the locals, so carrying big cameras and looking like a tourist is not what I am about. As a 'local' you manage to get some great deals. For example, a taxi to the mall from the gym is usually around 80 Thai Baht each way (at the...
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...
