Muay Thai literally means Thai Boxing and is also known as The Art of the Eight Limbs. Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country’s national sport.

In its original form, Muay Thai consisted of an arsenal of nine weapons - the head, fists, elbows, knees and feet - known collectively as na-wa arwud. Although in modern Muay Thai, both amateur and professional, headbutting an opponent is no longer allowed.

Clown Eckie, the ‘only’ British professional clown in Thailand, brought his brilliant mime show to Mae Sot where he performed for children (and some of the older ones…) at BHSOH (Boarding High School for Orphans and Helpless Youths).

BHSOH was established in 1994 by Khaing Oo Maung, an Arakanese born in Bangladesh, in the extreme south of Burma. They frequently had to change the location of the school to avoid contact with enemy patrols until finally they settled down in Mae Pa, just north of Mae Sot, in 1999.

Today BHSOH is a member of the BMWEC (Burmese Migrant Workers Education Committee) and looks after 150 students, of which 35 are boarders. It offers all levels from Kindergarten up to grade 10.

…well last night they were anyway. But even more impressive was the electrical storm. Some people might call me mad for standing in the middle of the yard with a metal tripod but I think my mother really wanted to see sparks fly and offered me an umbrella as well (what’s that burning smell??).

23.8mm of much needed rain fell during the storm which lasted about 2 hours over Shepparton.

The website looks different! I finally decided that it was time to revamp the photography website to (hopefully) make it more user friendly and easier for me to update on a regular basis.

Please bare with me while I get it finalised. Feel free to let me know what you think, either by leaving a comment in the comment section below or contacting me here.
