Saturday 26th of May 2016 and I took a taxi to Ram Intra and the Khu Bon road, soi 41 and the Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym. I met my friend and I handed him the Ganesha I had bought for him at Bombay International Airport. I bought a membership 200 Baht and 20 private lessons, set me back by 3800 Baht. And as I didn't had my training gear with me we will start tomorrow

No training gear and we went to Sweeter Day to have lunch. I was surprised, a really nice restaurant. Thai fusion food and the best mango sticky rice I have ever had. OK, they served the mango BEFORE the salmon spaghetti. A little strange, but the food was very good. And I was full, and full of agony when we left. I had have way too much to eat. So we will really have to kick arses on the training session tomorrow.

Saturday 27th of May 2017 and I took a taxi to the gym out in Ram Intra. I was a wee bit late as I had went back to bed after my morning tea. A 40 minutes power nap turned into 2 hours of sleep. I sent a picture on line to let my friend know that I was on my way sitting in the taxi.
Took about 40 minutes to get to Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym. I have not exercised for a long time now and I was kind of looking forward to it. I had brought my gloves and shoes and my plan is to keep them at the Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym. No need to walk around looking like a tw*t with the shoes and gloves around the neck. I think I'm on to something good here. And to improve my condition before the Humpback whale swim on Tonga.

When we finished the exercise we went to buy fruit. I bought fruit to last me for a few days. And when we left the supermarket we stopped to buy fresh durian. You always get the full song and dance on how good and tasty that fruit is. I think I have tried it before, and I had obviously not been impressed as I never bought it again.
But ปีศาจแดง and his son went on and on. I just had to try and we stopped at a pick-up selling durian from the back. The road was full of pick-ups selling durian and pineapple. And yes, as I remembered it, it was not any tasty fruit, never mind how much ปีศาจแดง and his son tried to convince me how good it was.
Back home to make a fruit salad it was and as we ran in to some flooding it took me 2 hours ++ to get back home. If this is how it is in May, how will it be in October then?

Coming home, I don't know, maybe inspired by the exercise. But I decided to make a big box of fruit salad. Then I will keep it in the fridge and I have fruit salad readily available. I always make a big bowl, but as I cannot close the owl I need to finish the salad in ONE GO!
The box was to big for the fridge so I had to remove some shelves. I also made a box of “TUNA & ONION SURPRISE” ® so this is readily available. My problem is that, well, sometimes I just don't feel like chopping onions and open tuna cans so I go to the restaurant. But now I hope to be able to skip eating at restaurants.

Sunday 1th of May 2017 and I was off early to Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym as I will go to Bangkok Slot Car Club in the afternoon. Today we had a lot of people exercising and I took a taxi back home. But ปีศาจแดง talked me in to coming back on the phone and I asked the driver to turn around. And I was really happy that I went back to get some exercise.

No flooding today and I was back home in a jiff. A shower and some fruit salad and I was soon on my way to Bangkok Slot Car Club. Click HERE to find out how my “racers” were doing. They have been in their boxes for a very long time now.
OK, it has come to my knowledge that we have senior citizens visiting my web page. How hard can it be? So it's not very easy for them to see the blue coloured links to the next page.
Jiffy (also jiff)
