No, the organization doesn't really exist anymore. There's a new female-oriented promotion that is run by the Thai Fight people, but they've only had one event on the Queen's Birthday this year, up in the North of Thailand. 

 

That's too bad. I definitely had some issues with regard to how they thought female fighters should present themselves but it was great to see a promotion focusing on women and hosting all female cards.

I like that they featured so many women from so many different places, but I wish there'd been more Thai women throughout the process. They brought in more the second time around and at different weights, which was cool.

Do you know who the artist for the soundtrack is? I really like the music.

I somewhat recognize the voice but not enough to be able to help. Usually they use Carabao for everything. We call him "Thai Willie Nelson" but he's a bit more like Springsteen in terms of his working-class hero demographic.

That's too bad about Muay Thai Angels. The beauty-focused aspect was definitely quirky but they still put on a great show.

The new promotions that are taking its place (as in, all-female and big budget cards) are keeping with the beauty aspect. On the King's Birthday this year there was lots of makeup and two of the highlight fights were made of A) a woman who is a model and posed for Thai Playboy (there's no nudity in Thai Playboy), she has now had 2 fights; and B) an airline stewardess (the guidelines for Thai air hostesses are pretty similar to pageantry) whose number of fights I have no clue of. They both fought with determination, although the fights were messy. But selling the fights through "sexy" and "pretty" and all that was the main goal.

Thanks to Emma for finding these videos in the first place.

Here's the Air Hostess, Porsche (red): 

And the model, Puifai (red): 

Neither of the opponents for the "pretty" fights (in Thai they call models and women whose job it is to be pretty, "Pretties") look very experienced, which is reasonable because neither are the "pretties," but the caliber of fights is certainly not in line with what World Muay Thai Angels was trying to accomplish.

      How to deal with the heat in Thailand and other first-timer questions

      By StefanZ · Posted

      Minerale salt, mentioned above, this with lotsa of K+, Mg+, somewhat lesser of Na+ -  may be called for low sodium salt... Its in these they instead of sodium salt, add kalium and magnesium salts....   Useful for both those whom sweats much, and for those on keto.

      How Thailand's Muay Thai Has Been Collectively Created Through the Wisdom of Local Markets and Gambling

      By Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu · Posted

      from my reddit share of the above graphic: This map provides a speculative zoomed-out view of how provincial village Muay Thai gambling markets, which were something like a Galapagos of localized market selections, connected up to some very large global trade influences in Siam and then Thailand. The great cultures of India and China (and others) were intimately connected to Siam through cosmopolitan centers (like Ayutthaya), and rural populations regularly (seasonally so) cycled through these city and town centers. You can read about the logic of local gambling markets and their (possible) creation of the Muay Thai aesthetics here. The idea in this graphic is to position those "islanded", somewhat isolated processes to the churn of population movement, and wider international trade. This is to say, Thailand's Muay Thai likely has long been at the shoreline of internationalism, but also has retained an isolated, generative rural "reserve" that anchored its identity and insulated it from change. This is leaving aside (due to space on the graphic, but also to emphasize what is often missed) the more common explanations of source and influence, the Khmer Empire (which was an Indianized culture), and the Burmese, Lao, etc. This is represented instead by the "permeable" boundaries arrows.

      Poot Lorlek vs Posai Sittiboonlert

      By RyanAWag · Posted

      The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.

      Muay-Thai training camps-Europe??

      By FuckedElbow-Muay · Posted

      Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend?

      Muay-Thai training camps-Europe??

      By SJC74 · Posted

      You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes.

      Muay-Thai training camps-Europe??

      By FuckedElbow-Muay · Posted

      Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?..  Appericiate all responses, thank you!

      Training Camp Kit List

      By SJC74 · Posted

      In my experience, 1 pair of gloves is fine (14oz in my case, so I can spar safely), just air them out between training (bag gloves definitely not necessary). Shinguards are a good idea, though gyms will always have them and lend them out- just more hygienic to have your own.  2 pairs of wraps, 2 shorts (I like the lightweight Raja ones for the heat), 1 pair of good road running trainers. Good gumshield and groin-protector, naturally. Every time I finish training, I bring everything into the shower (not gloves or shinnies, obviously) with me to clean off the (bucketsfull in my case) of sweat, but things dry off quickly here outside of the monsoon season.  One thing I have found I like is smallish, cotton briefs for training (less cloth, therefore sweaty wetness than boxers, etc.- bring underwear from home- decent, cotton stuff is strangely expensive here). Don't weigh yourself down too much. You might want to buy shorts or vests from the gym(s) as (useful) souvenirs. I recommend Action Zone and Keelapan, next door, in Bangkok (good selection and prices):  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Action+Zone/@13.7474264,100.5206774,17z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!2sAction+Zone!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2!3m5!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
