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...

Holiday Money…..
Many people have asked about holiday money. Do I use the ATM, which bank cards do I use for holidays...... I use the following banks for holiday money, N26, Revolut and Starling. The reason I chose these banks, is because they do not charge for any withdrawals and the...
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...
I know it is early days, but…..
I am taking this as an early win. A few years ago when I first came to Thailand for an extended period, the diet was not taken seriously, eating the naughty snacks and having fizzy drinks, it took me at least a month to shed any weight. This trip is different, from...

From Fatness to Fitness
The last few months my health has not been the best. Therefore, I decided to go to Thailand and train in Muay Thai for a solid three months. I landed in Bangkok to a gorgeous 31 degree C, perfect temperature for me and took a taxi to the KPT Gym. When taking a taxi...
Chance Encounter…..
Two years ago in Singapore, Sangeet and I were fortunate to meet Andrew and his wife. Fauja Singh had come to Singapore, we went to see him running at Mount Emily Park. I was approached by Andrew who asked if that was the oldest marathon runner in the world. I...
Thank You…..!!!!
I have done it!! Sparring and learning clinching from Master Pimu. I could spend a year here and still only have a fraction of what knowledge Master Pimu has. I have truly been blessed to have one to one training with him. He is a legend! Whilst thinking about the...
