MBK is a large tourist mall in the center of Bangkok. The shopping centre offers tons of cheap goods to tourists and locals a like. Every wednesday night a local promoter puts on shows for free. Tons of spectactors line the sidewalk and hang out on the side of the BTS (the skytrain whose last station is at the mall) while nak muay go at it in the ring. It might not be Lumpinee but it has seen far more people.

 

 

 

About mlucas

Born to a working class family in rural New York I grew up working like a dog and drinking Natural light in the woods. After a brief stint attempting to escape the poverty of employment via university I gave up on escaping the grind and moved to sunny California where the burritos are as generous as the weather. I work in the service industry slinging booze and food. I got into Muay Thai as a recreational activity. I saw an interclub fight and decided to try it out, everyone has to test their mettle somehow. A few fights and a year later I was in Thailand training, and fighting. I haven’t quit stepping into the ring since. I currently live in West Oakland and balance my time blocking punches with my head with attempting to prevent brain deterioration through writing, studying Thai; language, culture and history, and going to wild dance parties with my friends.
