hi and welcome back to my channel i'm just packing
at the moment i'm in chiang rai at kanika's house and i'm back going back to chiang mai today to my
apartment it's a three and a half hour bus journey and i like to leave my motorbike here
so i can explore more of chiang rai whilst kanika is at work at school but
in chiang mai i'm doing a one-year visa for wai tai so i'm going to show you guys the gym
show you how i get there show you my apartment and life in chiang mai for myself but first
i've got still a pass for another bike wash so i'm gonna take my bike to be washed
gonna finish packing and we'll go from there here i am at my local car wash one pound seventy
to get two washers within a week not bad is it there we go just brought it back from the
bike wash car wash one pound 70 for two washes it's gleaming 70 bucks bargain
well i'm at the bus station at chiang rai now waiting for my bus to go to
chiang mai and look who's here gonna say hello she brought me here on the honda
dream so that i can get on the bus and yeah so now it's just a waiting
game for the bus it's half free now and the bus is meant to leave
at half three so here's my morning it's 11 a.m here the next day and it's
the big day i start again with my mai tai so um i was gonna film last night when i got back
but my apartment was a mess and i wanted some food in an early night but now i'm here i can
show you my apartment now i've tidied up so far i have this apartment it's about 20 minutes from the old square of chiang mai which is where my
muay thai is and it's it's tidy it's really tidy i can't complain everything was new when i moved
in from the fridge microwave here's the bathroom you know for for one year's rent everything i
need i got a decent bed a bit of artwork and then got some tv aircon a shelf for my right
eye stuff so they supply their own gloves and um shin pads at the muay thai but i did buy my
own considering i was going to be here for a year and then got my own hand wraps and
essential gum shield for when i spa but this is where i am in the evenings and then
i've got a nice view have a look at the my view up in this mountain they have an
amazing temple and a whole view of the city but you can really see the jungle vibe
can so it's a small apartment but for seven thousand baht 150 pounds a month to me
it's a it's a bargain it's absolutely perfect and considering it's all new downstairs there's
washing machines and dryers you can use um and it they cost about 30 baht to use so that's i've got
my converter here to see how much that is so 30 baht for the washing machine it's 69 pence a wash
um and then the dryer is about 20 baht 46 pence and here in my hand i've got an old receipt for
water and electric so for the water it cost me 80 pence for a month and for the electric i use here
it cost me 146 baht which is three pounds thirty now the electric is going to go up in
the next coming months it's march now and it is getting warmer so the aircon will
be used at night and during the day but let's say it doubles with the electric
or even triples we're looking at about we're looking at say even if it's 600 baht even
if it's 600 baht for the month which i'll be surprised if it is it's 13 pounds for the air
con as well as the other things i use here so i can't really complain it's perfect you know it's
20 minutes walk i like to walk to my muay thai gym just for more a bit more fitness um and yeah it's
it's perfect for the situation i'm in for the year so now i've shown you my apartment
i'm gonna get a coffee get some lunch and my mai tai is at 3 p.m today so i'll start
walking at about half two and show you the gym another hot day it's always a challenge when
it gets to three o'clock doing muay thai when the weather's like this roasting so i've been doing the mai
tai for three months now and it doesn't get any easier but
it definitely gets more enjoyable what's also great about my gym is the variety
of different people that are there that's in beginners experienced people even parents
bring their little children i've seen it's unbelievable but always a great
atmosphere and the girls and boys that i spa with are always a good laugh no one wants
to hurt anyone or purposely get anyone injured but you can't go swimming without
getting wet and it is the same for muay thai kickboxing you know you have to
do the sparring if you want to progress but again when you get things right it's the
best feeling in the world um and in any sport you have your bad days but when you have your
good days from waitai you're absolutely buzzing the lessons go on for an hour and a half
they start off with a warm up then stretching then we do get our hands wrapped then
we do boxing drills heavy bag work and then the last half an hour is sparring
now for the next couple of minutes i'm going to show you a typical routine day when i
go to the gym for an hour and a half lesson do okay functions there we go another session done i've done
about 35 hours now of muay day and um it's going really well really enjoying it
exhausted though today was 36 degrees so perhaps tomorrow when i go i'll go for the 4 30
some of the footage i put on this video will be uh from all sorts of different classes from the
three months i've been doing this but i'll be also adding more to the channel of my progression
with my day so hopefully you guys will enjoy seeing my progress but if you did want to watch my
