Finally, a lie in. Ish. As 10am crept up, I snuck out of bed and the room over to the hotels breakfast buffet. I grabbed some croissants, cereal and tea (yes I carried all of these) and snuggled back I to bed. Bliss!
Later on, we met up with some of the guys from the elephant park, and went to a bar. We wasted the day with chocolate milkshakes, getting yet more massages and pedicures, and roaming the streets of chiang Mai. In the evening, with only myself, Will and Pete left in the city, we all went to a Mexican restaurant. Burritos, quesadillas and tequilla, this definitely was turning into a boys night! Only to be reinforced with some Muay Thai boxing!
Drinking whiskey, chanting with locals and placing bets, we embraced this Thai tradition. There was even a knock out in the first round! The best bit, however, was when 4 boxers entered the ring....blindfolded.
They fell into the ring, each other an the ref, flapping and punching whatever and wherever they could. The poor ref, however, was indistinguishable to the visually impaired fighters, was suddenly pummelled and punched to the floor. He struggled to rise, but when he did, he kicked two boxers in the gut, and stormed off!
After a wobbly walk home, we headed straight to bed before an early start to Dubai tomorrow!
