vs. Yinglek Sor. Petchmaitree, Rangsit Stadium, 22nd February 2013.

My sixth fight was to take place at Rangsit Stadium, where I’d had my last three fights. Since the last one, they’d asked me to fight there every 15-20 days, which was great for me. As women are not permitted to fight in Lumpini or Rajadamnoern, Rangsit Stadium is probably the best place for female fights in Bangkok. What I really appreciate about this stadium is that they actively promote female fighters, and genuinely take Read more

Fifth Fight, First KO! – vs. Petchanamnuer Paroadratchadamneur, Rangsit Stadium, 8th January 2013

My fifth fight felt like a bit of a milestone for me, as I originally only planned to have one or two. Although five is still a very small number, it’s not one I had ever planned to reach, so it felt like an achievement before I even stepped in the ring. It was also my first fight of 2013, a year that I’d planned to spend getting as much fighting experience as possible so Read more

vs. Nong New Sitkrupaew, Rangsit Stadium, 16th October 2012.

This was my fourth fight, and I was scheduled to face Petchkularb, my original opponent from my third fight who’d pulled out the day before the event citing period pains. However, the day before this fight, she once again dropped out, this time with no explanation at all. I didn’t spare it much thought, last-minute changes happen all the time. Besides, no matter who I went up against, I was still going to fight the Read more

vs. Nong Nee Sitkruchuk, The Queen’s Birthday, August 12th 2012, Rangsit Stadium

My third fight was to be my first stadium fight, on an all-female card for a televised event on the Queen’s Birthday. I was originally set to rematch Nong Nee, who had beaten me on points in my previous fight. However, she’d pulled out for unknown reasons a few weeks before. This was disappointing, as I’d been looking forward to fight her again, but she was quickly replaced by another girl named Petchkularb. For two Read more

vs. Nong Nee Sitkruchuk, Siam Paradise Night Bazaar, Bangkok, 17th March 2012.

After my first fight, I was eager to get back into the ring and do it all over again. Having come out of it with no injuries, there was nothing stopping me. So, one month after my first fight, I had my second. This one was to be another three round bout, as I didn’t yet feel ready to fight five rounds. I’d assumed that after winning my first fight, I’d feel confident about doing Read more

First Fight – vs Nong New Sitkrupaew, Rattanakosin School, Bangkok, 17th February 2012

As a total beginner with no fight experience, the very idea of fighting was surreal. In fact, it wasn’t something I’d openly spoken about wanting to do. Everyone who knew me knew that I was into Muay Thai, and although people had asked me about fighting, and I knew that I wanted to, I never really discussed it with anyone. Since I’d had my first training session, just a year prior to this, I had Read more
