...we headed back to Reggae Bar to check out the Muay Thai fights! But with all of our pre-gaming, by the time we got there it was 12:45 and we only managed to catch the very last match of the night!
Keep in mind, a Thai Bucket costs about $3 USD. If you account for the TWO FOR ONE bucket special, you'll realize that these two jokers are about to pound the piss out of each other in one-hundred degree heat, in front of the entire bar for....A DRINK WORTH $1.50 USD!
They started out looking like they knew what they were doing, but as any person that's every been in a fight will tell you, if you haven't spent a significant amount of time learning some type of disciplined fighting technique...
...in moments that look like this. The best part about this is, the crowd totally doesn't give a fuck. When this weird part happened, where the dude on the right had somehow managed to briefly lock his opponent's arm from the back, the crowd was yelling "Punch him in the back! Punch him in the back!" (The best part about this photo is that if you look closely, you can see the dude's back-skin all bunching up around where he's being punched! Ew!)
...and headed over to Reggae Bar to watch the Muay Thai fights and get our drink on! (The last time I was on Phi Phi, I was there helping to rebuild after the tsunami and the biggest party-thing that happened while I was there was the re-opening of this bar which had been destroyed by the waves.)
