I was in the process of limbering up when head trainer Neng called me out into the ring. I've never worked with Neng but I am aware that he is an awesome trainer. The man does not speak English but he carries a big stick (literally) and demands that you put forth your best effort when you train.
Training with Neng was totally hard and crazy. I've never trained that hard in Thailand. It was a non stop blitz of offensive and defensive techniques. I was so tired but I was able to keep up. To make matters worse, that part of the gym is the most humid of all of the gym. I found out that they put me there because there was a group from Canada and Spain that arrived that morning.
After a sleep so awesome that I forgot to eat lunch it was time to train again in the afternoon. This time I was paired with my original trainer Lang who had trained me for the past two years. Lang is an awesomely good trainer he works at a brisk pace, almost as fast as Neng but Lang gives momentary 10 seconds breaks. It was awesome training with him again. As a matter of fact, today was the best day I had training.
Since it is Friday I decided to go out for dinner. I ended up having a steak from Sizzler and in the process of looking for a taxi I see my gym brother's Toby and Diogo (Portugal) also looking for a cab. I decided to roll with them as they told me they were going back to the gym. As soon as we found a cab Toby breaks the news with a sinister, "Brian, we are not going back to the gym, we are going to a special place in Khaosan Rd." I asked, "what special place?" and Diogo replied "special massage."
Scared out of mind...it's going to be a long night.
