The national sport of Thailand is Muay Thai boxing which may be listed on betting sites such as 벳위즈. It can be relatively expensive to see in Bangkok at around 1000Tbh for a ring side seat, attending elsewhere such as Chiang Mai will get you a similar seat for 400Tbh. There is more to it than one-on-one battles with Thai men kicking the crap out of each other.

Ever since I have been on the road, I have carried a netbook with me. A relatively new phenomenom in the computer/laptop world, netbooks are small laptops primarily aimed at surfing the internet.
A stripped down version of Linux was available in a lot of the early netbooks but the familiarity of Windows XP helped to outsell the linux models, nearly all the new models come with XP now. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

After seeing just 3 Orangutans at Sepilok, it became clear I’ve not seen much wildlife since being in Sandakan, despite it being one of the better places in Malaysia to see some. There is another place nearby (15km away or so) called the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary. Which is a Santuary for proboscis monkeys. A primate with a strange nose and different colour fur to most other monkeys. They are also endemic to Borneo Island and can only stay in forest areas near a river so you can’t see them anywhere else in the world apart from a few places on Borneo Island.

A 3 hour bus ride from Kota Kinabalu with a stop to change clothes and admire the view and you will be with bus load of people finding your way to Padas River.
Once there you will be told to sit down on planks of wood with wheels/ball bearings on for riding down a train track, think along the lines of ‘railway skateboarding’.
