 Hey Get in the Ring!! by Jmill42
There are 3 different levels of seating and cost. The nosebleed, the middle and ringside. I got the middle priced, and it was absolutely fine. You have to sit behind a chain link fence, but that kind of adds to its hard-core appeal! Cost for the mid-level seats were about 400 Baht.
For that, you get 10 matches!! Each about 3 rounds, unless you get a knock out... which I did. Stretcher and everything.
There are two stadiums, but I went to the Ratchadamnoen Stadium. It has all the feel of Bangkok. You will see what I mean when you are waiting outside for a few minutes to finish your drink and there are 100's of shady looking Thai characters around. ALL of them gamble inside, and the action in the stands is almost as entertaining as the fight within the ring!

 Thai Boxers, Ratchadamnoen
Stadium, Bangkok by joecooper, 2 more photos
The program covers differing weights and skills of fighters although all the men are highly fit and have muscles in places you wouldn't think possible! Before the fighting commences both fighters circle the ring in a ceremonial dance and kneel down to pray. There is also a musical group of which drums a hypnotic beat throughout the fight. If, like us, you are not a fan of violence, I urge you to attend anyway - this is such an important part of Thai culture and tradition. Although the sport has a brutal image the fighters have nothing but total respect for each other and it is rare for kicks to go above shoulder height.

 Carry on up the Klong by sourbugger
The following is from their website:
"These special developed guided Bangkok Cyclist Tours will bring you to places hardly visited by tourists. Klongs (canals) may have once earned Bangkok the title of the "Venice of the Orient." The tropical landscape and Thai style homes will shatter all Western illusions. These bicycle tours bring you to very small backstreets, alleys, markets, temples and even the small streets and houses below Bangkok highways. This gives a true picture of daily life for a lot of people in the city.
While biking along the vast network of elevated pathways over the Klongs, which are only wide enough for bicycles and motorbikes, you will discover real Bangkok. These pathways put the crowded roadways of Bangkok far behind you.
After a nice trip by Klong (Canal) boat you will leave the metropolis part behind and continue your tour through an oasis of green landscape scattered by fruit plantations and typical Thai style houses. Here a few cars will be seen. No traffic jams, no hassle, no shopping malls, no air conditioning, no modern-day Bangkok life. As if you are in a remote village, people live in small houses, living from the products on their lands.
There are hardly any roads, so you are required to balance on the high concrete paths leading through this picturesque part of Bangkok. When you return to the city, you cannot believe that you have just come from paradise.
Our bicycle tours will give you an impression of real Bangkok. Cycle through neighborhoods where you will never go on your own. Bangkok is a very big city but not all buildings are concrete and 25 stories high. Discover the way of life of the local people in Bangkok." Leave a Comment

 Pinehurst 18 Holes Course
Layout by suraphona
A 45-minute drive from downtown Bangkok and 15 minutes past Don Muang lies one of the most famous courses in Thailand.
The 27 hole - South (the Meadow), North (the Lake) and West (Forest)
- Yoshihira Aihara designed course was host to the 1994 Thailand Open and
the 1992 Johnnie Walker Classic International Tournaments.
The layout is very similar to those in the US, with water hazards and mounds providing most of the challenge.
As Pinehurst is not a members-only club , maintenance is usually consistent.
Green Fees
for non-member 1,800-2,300 THB Leave a Comment Theme: GolfingDirections: Pinehurst Golf & Country Club 73 Phaholyothin Rd. Km.37 Klong 1, Amphur Klong Luang, Phathumthanee 12120Other Contact: accomtt@yahoo.com
