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...
Weekend Getaway…..
Even back home I never stay in once place for too long, so here I have started going away for the weekend. Thanks to Hilton this has been made possible, this weekend I managed to get a nice room with awesome views: https://youtu.be/KccYe2MTrTk Millenium Hilton...
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…..?
Well after spending this amount of time in and around the gym, it was inevitable that I would finally see a snake! As my regular readers know, I am petrified of snakes.....so this did come as a shock. The best thing, in this case was to get out the GoPro and capture...
Chao Phraya River…..
The Chao Phraya is the major river in Thailand, with its low alluvial plain forming the centre of the country. It flows through Bangkok and then into the Gulf of Thailand. I hope you enjoy this time lapse of the Chao Phraya river at night:...
My First Milestone…..!!
Four weeks ago to the day, I arrived at Kiatphontip, Bangkok with the aim of losing 25kg from my starting weight of 95kg. I did not set any milestones, so this actually just happened.....in hindsight I should have set some milestones, but I am happy with my progress...
Bangkok’s Highest Observation Deck and Rooftop Bar…..
For visitors seeking the ultimate thrill and having a 'God's view' of the beautiful city and busy streets in Bangkok, I recommend a visit to King Power MahaNakhon Tower in Silom/Sathon central business district of Bangkok. 314 metres above the streets of Bangkok, this...
Just to Show, I am Training…..
For those readers who are actually wondering if I am training or not, here is a video from one round with Kru (teacher) Pit: https://youtu.be/CttDScm2sqU One to one with Kru Pit Mr Pit (fight name Sorapit Fairtex), is the most experienced trainer and one of the...
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...
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...
My Thoughts on my 25kg Target Weight Loss
I am sat here with my one vice, black coffee. Which according to some websites is a good thing and with other websites it is bad! Enjoying a strong black coffee whilst creating this post. All I can say is everything in moderation (well sometimes!.) I am pondering the...
Settling In…..
The last few posts have been haphazard, apologies for that. I thought I could just land in Thailand and start blogging straight away. It took me a few days to get settled in and acclimatised, which I am still trying to do. The temperature is around 32 degree c and...
My First Session…..
Current Weight: 95kg Target Weight: 70kg Press ups in this session: 40, Target: 100 per session Sit ups in this session: 70, Target: 500 per session I had my first Muay Thai session on Friday afternoon, it was exhausting, especially in this heat and humidity. We...
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...
The best coffee shop in London…..?
The best coffee shop in London? After many trips to America where I found amazing coffee shops, the atmosphere was relaxing, you could sit in them and chill or if you wish, study/work. I longed for this kind of coffee shop in London, as faith would have it, I first...
