Welcome to my blog.
This is my blog experiment.I’m Yelena a BBA student from Finland and this is my course assignment. I was assigned to write a blog about anything and update it weekly.
I have just returned from China and after the 7 months in the land where all blogs were blocked, I find this assignment as a way to return to the “civilized world”.
I also take this as a challenge as I was never able to maintain a diary as a child and writing has never been one of my strongest skills. However I am looking forward what will turn out from this experiment and hopefully pictures will tell more than words.
As the blog can be about anything in the world, and there are many things out there, the first challenge was of course to come up with a subject that would be interesting to the potential readers and myself. Luckily this assignment came at the right time for me, just in time before my trip to Thailand. No not just backpacking around Thailand. Been there done that.
You will be reading, if you choose so, about my mental and physical challenge of surviving through
one month of Muay Thai training on a tiny island of the Andaman Sea.
The Plan.
I will start my journey on the 18th of November flying from Helsinki to Bangkok through Amsterdam. I will arrive on the 19th and will spend the first few days in Thailand with my friend’s family in Bangkok. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her and I’m very excited to meet her son and husband.
On the 21th of November I will be arriving to the island where my training will begin. As a traveller I will not mention the name of this island in my blog to keep the place as tourist free as possible - However as a favor to the hotel and training people I have changed my mind and will reveal this information.
The island is named Koh Yao Noi and is located between Phuket and Krabi. The place I will be spending my month is called K.Y.N Gym next to the Lamsai Village Hotel.
I will try my best to update this blog as often as possible and take as many pictures from the journey as I can.
Welcome and please come again.
