Koh Larn is a beautiful island just off of Pattaya. With minimal time to travel with training and fighting, Koh Larn is an excellent choice as Pattaya is not very far away from Bangkok and is very easy to get to.

The first Thai Fight event to have females on the card ended with an extraordinary number of knockouts. Unfortunately, they did not air the females fights on TV so I am still looking for videos of those fights. The fight between Rosa and Phetchnapa went the distance, but Walorska had the fight stopped in the second round vs Mungkornkhao. *Winner in bold Jamie Pudge vs Phanpikard Heng-Heng Gym *KO Chadd Collins VS Manasak Sor.Jor.Lekmuangnon *Decision Juliana Rosa VS Phetchnapa Kiatkitiphan *Decision Jarred …
