Yesterday i have write a little bit about visiting the local Muay Thai Dojo in Chiang Mai , [click here you can read about it ](https://travelfeed.io/@tommyl33/visiting-muay-thai-dojo-in-chiang-mai-part-1) . I have upload some composite picture directed by my friend , Manop.
Talking about Manop , he is one of awesome friend and cool man that i ever know. He was working in US before comeback to Thailand for his retirement. His age is about 65 years old and he still actively travel. We know each other when i was travel in Myanmar and he offer me to stay in his guess house if i continue travel in Chiang Mai. I actually stay about 1 month in Chiang Mai , thanks to his goodness allow me to stay for free .
One of his favorite activity is riding . He even lend me one of his bicycle and we ride almost everyday . A few days before , i do some black and white photoshoot of Manop on his bicycle. It was fun season and he really like the outcome.
This is some of behind scene of this photoshoot :

It was a great experience to see the real muay thai training season in Thailand. Maybe next time i ll try to join exercise with them for a month and see what the result .
Thanks , for taking time to read my 2 years solo travel journal in ASEAN. I try to write the travel experience everyday and deliver it as best as i can. I apologies if my English is bad , because English is not my main language .
