Taking a break !

After a long week of tiring muay thai training,we decided to take a short break and carry on our tour around phuket.
As there is no training on sunday,we decided to head on to the weekend night market on saturday night.
There are about 200 stores selling a wide variety of goods.Many stuffs were sold at the crowded town including tasty food,unique clothing and specially designed thai souvenirs.Price was unbelievably low,especially after bargain. Next morning,we went to the popular Kata beach to enjoy a wonderful sunday morning,tan and swim.The scenery was enchanting and the strong subtle waves that hit and pull us simultaneously was exhilarating compared to marine parade east coast park.Now i understand why Kata beach attract lots of tourist !
After being under the scorching hot sun for hours,we headed to a nearby seafood restaurant for a delicious feast.Quite a number of shops were already open and this create more shopping spree for us.
Rest and relaxation was marvellous !

Day 2 of muay thai training

Is only day 2 of muay thai training,and more adventures are awaiting for us.
Training is always tiring as it totally drains off your energy,however those training improves and condition your body physically and increasing your stamina tremendously.Light sparring with the instructor occurs during monday,wednesday and friday while lesson on wai khru are taught on thursday and saturday.
Of course,there are still many objectives from this trip.The meals here are palatable,serving local seafood delights,from fish,oyster to crabs.YUMMY !
Shopping in phuket is enjoyable,not only do we look for muay thai shorts and equipments,the clothing are cheap and nice.
We even did horse riding in this trip !
Being a first timer,we rode a horse for an unbelieveable 2 hours,learning
how to trot and gallop the horse through the jungle and beach.
By the end of training,we are all competent riders.
