Muay Thai Night

After the end of Buddhist Lent /Wan Khao Phansa/ (3 months during the raining season that monks need to stay at one place) it's time for big celebrations everywhere in Thailand. In the area of Pai northern Thailand it was like a small fest for a couple of days gathering all the people from the valley and surrounding hill villages. One of the main attractions there were a Muay Thai fights, but they are based more on a respect and friendship, than on a fight and sport aggresion. All the photos are made in one single night with very poor lightning only a couple of lights.
