FIGHTING ART
泰 拳 —— 搏 击 的 艺 术
Muay Thai has been a part of Thai history and heritage for
hundreds of years, as with most traditions from ancient times.
Many different versions of the history of Muay Thai exist, but
all sources agree that Muay Thai was the primary and most
effective method of self defence used by Thai warriors on
the battlefields of conflicts and wars that occurred countless
times throughout the history of the nation. During this time, a
warfare manual named “Chupasart” was written. This manual
emphasised the martial uses of each body part. The underlying
philosophy of this manual implied that fighting was more than
the use of weapons, but most importantly, should engage
total commitment from mind, body and soul.
The first known practice of Muay Thai as a “sport” away
from the heat and chaos of the battlefield occurred during the
reign of King Prachao Sua (1697-1709 A.D.). With a great
love of combat art he often fought incognito in local village
contests, often beating the local champions. When the nation
was at peace, to keep the army busy he often ordered them
to train in Muay Thai. It was from this that loosely organised
competitions started sprouting up around the country.
In 1774, the legendary Nai Khanom Tom made Muay Thai
famous for his battle against a group of Burmese while he
was a prisoner of war in Burma. He was captured when the
Burmese ransacked and burnt Thailand’s ancient capital
Ayuddhaya. He legendarily defeated ten of Burma’s best
boxers when, without pause, he took them on one by one
through a battering and bruising contest. He illustrated one of
the most favourable elements in Muay Thai, an indomitable
will to win for honour and willingness to face any odds. This
can be summarised as: “Nothing can stand against you except
yourself”.
The army has fostered Muay Thai. Soldiers have trained
and used Muay Thai techniques for as long as there has
been an army in Thailand. For the military, it has always
had use for the close combat fighting skills, the martial art
of the battlefield. When a Thai soldier fights hand to hand he
uses Muay Thai. But then so does every Thai person, male
or female. Watching it, learning it, and copying it is a part of
Thai childhood. Muay Thai soon became a favourite sporting
pastime for people from all walks of life, with training camps
being established all over the country.
In the early 1930s, Muay Thai was officially codified, with
rules and regulations being created and introduced into the
sporting world, to make Muay Thai an international sport of the
early 20th century and a safe ring sport. Round contests were
introduced along with eight divisions based on international
boxing. Queensbury rules boxing gloves replaced the rope
bindings on the fighters’ hands.
With a centuries long history, Muay Thai has progressed
and is now recognised in many countries worldwide,
creating a new era of a proud world history. In recent years
Muay Thai, both amateur and professional, has swept across
the world like wildfire and developed into a premier ring sport
– a fighting art with no equal in terms of unarmed combat and
spectator appeal, as well as being a form of self defence and
a fitness programme.

PROTECTION AND TRADITION
Before starting the fight, fighters are adorned with a headpiece called a mongkol
and armbands called prajioud. Both the mongkol and prajioud are blessed by Buddhist
monks and are believed to bestow the wearer with victory and protection in the ring.
Traditionally, the mongkol is never to be touched by the fighter and handled only by
his coach (kru). The mongkol is also never allowed to come near or touch the ground,
as it is believed doing so will cause it to lose its blessing. This is the reason all fighters
will enter the ring by going over the ropes, never underneath. After the wai kru is
performed, the coach will remove the mongkol while praying with the fighter before
the bout commences. Unlike the mongkol, the armbands may stay on the fighter while
fighting.
Upon entering the ring the fighter will first “seal” the ring to block out any outside
negative forces before commencing an important ceremony call the “Wai Kru”
ceremony. To do this the fighter will circle the ring counterclockwise and pray for
a short time in each corner. While transitioning from corners, the right hand always
remains in contact with the rope with the left hand raised to the fighter’s face. Once
the ring is sealed, the wai kru begins. The wai kru rituals has a deep meaning for
Muay Thai practitioners and is performed by fighters in order to pay homage to their
teachers and family and to bless themselves with victory in the ring. This ceremony
sometimes take up to five minutes to perform.
Each fighter’s wai kru is unique to their training camp and has been passed to them
by their teachers. Over time, fighters will slighty modify their wai kru by incorporating
different techniques in order to personalize the ritual. Some of these techniques
include stomping in front of their opponent’s corner or imitating shooting arrows at
the opponent’s corner. Both actions are seen as a show of confidence, challenge and
intimidation.
After the Wai Kru ceremony is done, the fight can start. Muay Thai is often called
“The Art of Eight Contact Points” because it uses the feet, legs, knees, elbows and
fists in stand-up striking thus employing “eight points of contact” as compared to
“two points” in boxing and “four points” (hands and feet) in kick-boxing. Over the last
decade there has been a surge in interest with the rise of popular culture from Thai
martial art action films like “Tom Yum Goong” (2005),
“Raging Phoenix (2009) and “Mortal Kombat” (2011). Normally, a Muay Thai match has
no more than 5 rounds, each round lasts 3 minutes, with a two-minute rest period in
between. No additional rounds are allowed. Boxers must wear gloves, each weighing
not less than 6 ounces (172 gram).
In Thailand, Muay Thai is both a defence martial art and a national sport. It has
always been a part of Thai peoples’ lives and they can watch live matches every week
end on Thai TV programs or by going to a stadium to cheer their favourite boxers.

SEE THE FIGHT!
WHERE TO GO?
Seeing a Muay Thai fight is usually on the to-do list
of everyone who visits Thailand, and Chiang Mai has
a few venues to go to.
A convenient venue for visitors is the Thapae Boxing
Stadium, right behind Thapae Gate on Moon Muang
Road. Because of its central location there are many
foreign tourists there. Look for a tout on the sidewalk
to point the way, or let the noise coming from the back
guide you. Admission is about 500 Baht. Fights are
Thai on Thai or Thai on Westerner, and can be quite
exciting.
For those who are inclined to find the most “realistic”
fighting venue, it is necessary to hop in a tuk-tuk and
go across the river to the old Kawila Boxing Stadium.
This place gets less press but is really authentic, this
is where Thai people go. Price is about 500 Baht per
person with a chance to pay more for ringside seats.

ACTI-
VITY
BECOME A FLIGHT VOLUNTEER
Bring home lovely dogs
Could you be a flight volunteer and take a dog to his new
home? All costs (excluding your airfare) are paid for and a
representative will be at Chiang Mai or Bangkok airports to help
put the dog in the flight.
Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai is home to over 450
abandoned and rescued dogs. They are taken care of in the
park’s Dog Rescue Program which began in 2011. During the
catastrophic floods in Bangkok that year, dogs were trapped
on rooftops and bridges in the capital. They were saved by
volunteers and Elephant Nature Park’s founders decided
to create this dog rescue program. With the help of flight
volunteers they are now able to rehouse many of these lovely dogs
internationally, mainly to the USA,Canada and Europe.
Being a Flight Volunteer, all you have to do is get on your flight
as usual and then when you land, greet the dog at baggage
claims and take it through to another representative who will be
waiting at the arrival gate for you.
If you are interested in being a flight volunteer, please contact
the Dog Project at Elephant Nature Park, they will check your
departure dates and let you know if there is a dog going your
way and if your airline and stopover destination will allow dogs
to travel with you.

DESTINATION
View from Sky100 Hong Kong Observation Desk
rom Chiang Mai, there are many new destinations
to explore. Direct flights take us daily to attractive
Asian destinations like Hong Kong, being only a
three hour flight from Chiang Mai (see Hong Kong
Express and Air China’s schedules page 54)
Hong Kong is one of the most dynamic cities in the world!
This vibrant destination is a fusion of many cultures,
a sophisticated mix of the east and the west. It is under
the cultural influences of Cantonese, Mandarin and
British, and there are also substantial communities
of Hakka, Fujian and Shanghainese people. There are
6.8 million Hong Kong people living in 1,102 square
kilometers. All these cultures are unique themselves while
harmoniously mixed together.
Visitors in Hong Kong will have no problem getting around
as English is widely used throughout the islands and
almost all the street signs are bilingual. The city offers
unique travel experiences awaiting visitors.
The island of Hong Kong is the real heart of Hong Kong,
it is about 80 square kilometres. On the island’s North, from
Central to Causeway Bay are the shopping, entertainment
and commercial districts. Whereas the Southern District is
the backyard of Hong Kong where you can find nice beaches,
cafes and markets.
The New Territories is on the other side, it consists of
Lantau Island, Cheung Chau Island, Lamma Island and
another 260 islands. Although Sha Tin, Tuen Mun and
Lantau Islands are now developed into more modern
satellite cities, the historic and natural parts of the New
Territories are still preserved.
36

Tsim Sha Tsui
In between Hong Kong Island and New
Territories is the Kowloon Peninsula. It is
also an important part of the bustling city.
Districts like Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei
and Mong Kok are the most attractive, and
contain all the shopping, eating, entertainment
and cultural attractions, highly comparable to
Hong Kong Island.
Famous attractions in Hong Kong not to be missed include:
- Victoria Harbour: You haven’t been to Hong Kong if you haven’t been
to Victoria Harbour. While you take a stroll along the Victoria Harbour
promenade you can enjoy spectacular views of Hong Kong’s skyline.
- Tsim Sha Tsui: famous for its shopping, eating and cultural
attractions. The Harbour City shopping mall has over 700 shops! It
also has a Shopping Boulevard, many garment outlets and cosmetics
shops at Granville Road.
- Sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck: a state-of-the-art sightseeing
attraction where visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view of Hong Kong
and Victoria Harbour.
- Horse Racing: sitting among thousands of crazy horse racing fans
will enliven your senses and can be the experience of a lifetime.
- The Big Buddha is located on Ngong Ping Lantau Island and is one
of the top sightseeing attractions in Hong Kong. Completed in 1993 it
is 34 meters high and weight 250 metric tons.It is the second largest
outdoor sitting Buddha. You can go there on the Ngong Ping 360 cable
car which is another famous attraction.
- Cuisine in Hong Kong is renowned internationally. Cantonese
specialities, dim sum and fresh seafood are must-tries!

Amoureux des grands espaces et de nature, Michel-Angéla
a découvert le nord de la Thaïlande il y a une dizaine d’années.
Depuis, il n’a de cesse de venir s’y ressourcer et de s’adonner
à sa véritable passion : la photographie. Pour Chang Puak
Magazine, il a accepté de faire une pause et de nous présenter
une partie de sa collection : des paysages et des portraits qui
nous permettent de voyager avec lui, dans les montagnes qui
bordent Chiang Mai, à la découverte des ethnies Hmong, Lahu
et Karen.
- Pourquoi avoir choisi la Thaïlande?
J’aime les montagnes et la nature thailandaise. La vraie
nature, celle qui est sauvage et loin de tout. Lorsque je suis
à Chiang Mai je n’habite pas en ville et je m’y rends que très
rarement. Je préfère m’armer de mon appareil photo et partir à
moto à la découverte des peuples du nord.
Mes origines Bretonnes m’ont toujours poussées à vivre
dans de grands espaces. Il y a longtemps, j’ai quitté Paris pour
retrouver le calme et la tranquillité des côtes Bretonnes. En
Thaïlande c’est dans la campagne de Doi Saket que je viens
faire un break chaque année, avant de reprendre ma route et
mes responsabilités sur les marchés de France.
- Comment vous est venue cette passion de la
photographie?
Je suis autodidacte et mais les échanges entre les peuples
du nord m’a toujours inspirée. Grâce à mon appareil photo je
peux immortaliser ces rencontres humaines.
- Pourquoi vos photos sont-elles en noir et blanc?
Pour moi, le noir et blanc des portraits a bien plus d’impact.
Les images sont plus fortes plus poignantes et l’imaginaire des
gens travaille d’avantage.
- Désirez-vous exposer un jour vos photos?
Pourquoi pas ? Je n’y ai pas encore vraiment pensé. Par
contre, j’ai ouvert un site internet sur lequel je présente une
grande partie de mon travail. Avec ce site mes deux passions
sont réunies : la Thaïlande et la photographie.
