hi and welcome back to my channel i'm just packingÂ
at the moment i'm in chiang rai at kanika's house  and i'm back going back to chiang mai today to myÂ
apartment it's a three and a half hour bus journey  and i like to leave my motorbike hereÂ
so i can explore more of chiang rai  whilst kanika is at work at school butÂ
in chiang mai i'm doing a one-year visa  for wai tai so i'm going to show you guys the gymÂ
show you how i get there show you my apartment  and life in chiang mai for myself but firstÂ
i've got still a pass for another bike  wash so i'm gonna take my bike to be washedÂ
gonna finish packing and we'll go from there  here i am at my local car wash one pound seventyÂ
to get two washers within a week not bad is it there we go just brought it back from theÂ
bike wash car wash one pound 70 for two washes  it's gleaming 70 bucks bargainÂ
well i'm at the bus station  at chiang rai now waiting for my bus to go toÂ
chiang mai and look who's here gonna say hello she brought me here on the hondaÂ
dream so that i can get on the bus  and yeah so now it's just a waitingÂ
game for the bus it's half free now  and the bus is meant to leaveÂ
at half three so here's my morning it's 11 a.m here the next day and it'sÂ
the big day i start again with my mai tai so  um i was gonna film last night when i got backÂ
but my apartment was a mess and i wanted some  food in an early night but now i'm here i canÂ
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 myÂ
muay thai is and it's it's tidy it's really tidy  i can't complain everything was new when i movedÂ
in from the fridge microwave here's the bathroom you know for for one year's rent everything iÂ
need i got a decent bed a bit of artwork and  then got some tv aircon a shelf for my rightÂ
eye stuff so they supply their own gloves and  um shin pads at the muay thai but i did buy myÂ
own considering i was going to be here for a year  and then got my own hand wraps andÂ
essential gum shield for when i spa but  this is where i am in the evenings and thenÂ
i've got a nice view have a look at the  my view up in this mountain they have anÂ
amazing temple and a whole view of the city  but you can really see the jungle vibeÂ
can so it's a small apartment but for  seven thousand baht 150 pounds a month to meÂ
it's a it's a bargain it's absolutely perfect  and considering it's all new downstairs there'sÂ
washing machines and dryers you can use um and it  they cost about 30 baht to use so that's i've gotÂ
my converter here to see how much that is so 30Â Â baht for the washing machine it's 69 pence a washÂ
um and then the dryer is about 20 baht 46 pence  and here in my hand i've got an old receipt forÂ
water and electric so for the water it cost me 80Â Â pence for a month and for the electric i use hereÂ
it cost me 146 baht which is three pounds thirty  now the electric is going to go up inÂ
the next coming months it's march now  and it is getting warmer so the aircon willÂ
be used at night and during the day but  let's say it doubles with the electricÂ
or even triples we're looking at about  we're looking at say even if it's 600 baht evenÂ
if it's 600 baht for the month which i'll be  surprised if it is it's 13 pounds for the airÂ
con as well as the other things i use here so  i can't really complain it's perfect you know it'sÂ
20 minutes walk i like to walk to my muay thai gym  just for more a bit more fitness um and yeah it'sÂ
it's perfect for the situation i'm in for the year  so now i've shown you my apartmentÂ
i'm gonna get a coffee get some lunch  and my mai tai is at 3 p.m today so i'll startÂ
walking at about half two and show you the gym another hot day it's always a challenge whenÂ
it gets to three o'clock doing muay thai when  the weather's like this roasting so i've been doing the maiÂ
tai for three months now  and it doesn't get any easier butÂ
it definitely gets more enjoyable what's also great about my gym is the varietyÂ
of different people that are there that's in  beginners experienced people even parentsÂ
bring their little children i've seen  it's unbelievable but always a greatÂ
atmosphere and the girls and boys that  i spa with are always a good laugh no one wantsÂ
to hurt anyone or purposely get anyone injured  but you can't go swimming withoutÂ
getting wet and it is the same for  muay thai kickboxing you know you have toÂ
do the sparring if you want to progress  but again when you get things right it's theÂ
best feeling in the world um and in any sport  you have your bad days but when you have yourÂ
good days from waitai you're absolutely buzzing  the lessons go on for an hour and a halfÂ
they start off with a warm up then stretching  then we do get our hands wrapped thenÂ
we do boxing drills heavy bag work  and then the last half an hour is sparringÂ
now for the next couple of minutes i'm going  to show you a typical routine day when iÂ
go to the gym for an hour and a half lesson do okay functions there we go another session done i've doneÂ
about 35 hours now of muay day and um it's  going really well really enjoying itÂ
exhausted though today was 36 degrees  so perhaps tomorrow when i go i'll go for the 4 30Â
some of the footage i put on this video will be uh  from all sorts of different classes from theÂ
three months i've been doing this but i'll be  also adding more to the channel of my progressionÂ
with my day so hopefully you guys will enjoy  seeing my progress but if you did want to watch myÂ
journey from the start with my muay thai you can  be my friend on instagram it's at slim 87Â
