Here's a prime example of a nutcase. This lad hanging off the side of a Spanish mountain is my trusty 2nd camera op, Shane. He's never happy unless his life is in danger - which is probably why he loves filming the Siege of Ennis!! - and I suppose the lack of oxygen during his rock climbing adventures convincedhim to go to Thailand for a couple of fights...
Muay Thai is like a form of kick-boxing and it's hugely popular in Thailand. Shane left Ireland on Tues and he should be arriving in Chang Mai at some stage today where he will join a training camp and immerse himself in all kinds of physical torture for the next 6 weeks. After that he's hoping to get into a ring and have a right jolly up with one of the locals who will hopefully knock plenty sense into him. Just wish I had my camera there to capture it all for prosperity!
All jokes aside, I wish him the very best and can't wait to hear all about it when he gets back.

Hi, I recommend that your friend trains at Chayyai Gym in Chiang Mai. He will get more attention than other gyms and the training is first class. Accomodation can be arranged or pick up from his hostel. See www.muaythaicamps.com
Enjoy your training.
Just heard from Shane so it's good to know he's still alive. Seemingly, he hasn't quite made it to the training camps yet because he was too busy partying at the Full Moon gig.
