Muay Thai Training in Thailand – A Growing Travel Trend


Welcome to Mom Loves 2 Read.  Today I have a special Guest Post about an amazing over seas travel destination ~ Thailand!




Muay Thai Training Thailand









Travelling in foreign countries for various purposes has started since the Middle Age. Today, thanks to the fast progress of technology, people have many different transportation options which make travelling much easier. This is the reason why the number of foreign tourists in every country is increasing every year. People want to travel abroad in order to learn more about some countries, to relax and enjoy the time spent there.  Of course, if they have the chance to improve their health while they are staying there, their trip will be even better. If you are interested in something like that, feel free to travel to Thailand.





Thailand is a truly amazing country and everyone that has visited this Asian kingdom can confirm

that. Endless white sandy beaches, unexplored nature, pleasant and friendly people, low prices on products and services and Muay Thai. Yes. That’s right. Muay Thai or Thai Boxing was invented in Thailand and this is still the best place to start with Muay Thai training.





Many people use the chance to be on an active holiday when they are in Thailand. Just think about it. When you are not training in the camp, you can enjoy the natural wonders of Thailand. This is certainly something that will boost your health. Muay Thai is a fitness activity and combat sport that can be practiced by men and women of all ages. It improves the strength of the muscles of all body parts, strengthens the core, increases muscle mass, improves mobility, stabilizes weight and blood pressure and helps the overall mental health. In addition, Muay Thai students will improve their confidence, esteem and discipline. In other words, this is a complete workout for the body.





As previously mentioned, the best place to start this fitness journey is Suwit Muay Thai . The camp is found in the tourist places in Thailand so you won’t have trouble finding one. Follow the instructions of the professional trainers who work there are you will notice how your body and mind are becoming stronger and healthier.

Review:

Ask anyone who knows me, I LOVE children's books.  Each of my kiddos has their own personal library full of books just for them to read, reread and enjoy! Many of them I also have read as well.  I love finding new adventures for my kiddos to read that will engage their minds and intrigue their imaginations.


The Biggest Story: How The Snake Crusher Brings Us Back To The Garden is a wonderful children's book that helps children learn how the stories of the Bible connect to Scripture's  message about God's glorious plan to redeem his rebellious people.  Filled with amazing and artistic illustrations that will draw children (and adults) into the biblical story in a whole new way.  From Adam and Eve through Jesus (The Snake Crusher) Rising From the Grave, the story is told in a simple yet powerful way that children can easily understand.  With the final promise that He will one day return again to "make a new beginning and to finish what He started." 



At the end of the book is a section just for parents that explains more about this book and how this book came to be written.  My girls and I both love this book and I can't wait to start reading it to my nieces as well.  Recommended by this Mom and Blogger.

Review:

With "Eye Popping" color photos and page after page of exciting and yes even gross stories, the Ripley's Believe It or Not: Eye Popping Oddities 2015 is a thrill to read.  I love finding books like this for my 14 yr old son.  He enjoys reading the strange facts over and over.  Getting him to read can often be a challenge but with Ripley's books it is easy and fun.  These great books make super gifts for birthdays and Christmas.



This year's issue even has my 10 year old daughter's favorite fish:  the blobfish - named world's ungliest animal.  With 10 chapters divided into categories such as World, Body, Animals, Pop Culture, Beyond Belief and other amazing stuff.  This year's annual Ripley's book is definitely a must read for those who love fun facts, amazing feats and strange oddities.


*It is easy to grab your copy of this fantastic book through Amazon (and yes it is also available for kindle - but I personally recommend the print edition!)
