On my way home from Kuala Lumpur, I stopped in the city of Bangkok for a day. Besides eating tons of fantastic Thai food, I snuck into some beautiful Buddhist temples and got lost in the Blade Runner neighborhoods. The highlight for me was watching a live Muay Thai kickboxing tournament. Incredible! The fighters remained remarkably calm and focused throughout their flurries of kicks and punches. Surprisingly, it looked more like a chess match than a brawl.
