Chapter 32 - Muay Thai

Well our brave fellows have now moved on from Koh Pha Ngan to Koh Phi Phi. A journey from the Gulf of Thailand to the Andaman Sea involving two boat trips and a mini-bus and a night in Krabi (it has to be said Krabi is a gateway to the Andaman Coast and Islands but nothing else).



Last night was their first night here and they went on the proper lash until they got to the Reggae Bar which has a Muay Thai ring and welcomes all comers. Dan decided he had to try his hand at the fighting and then Gimli decided he had to fight Dan.

They ended up being the last bout of the night and fought each other to an absolute standstill much to the crowd's delight. By the last it was clear that Sir Ranulph was the crowd's favourite and as the referee asked them who they wanted to win it was clear that only he could be crowned the champion but due to some horrific fix it was called a draw.



The best thing he has ever done he says. We fear he may be in the ring again tonight.
