Am I not Farang?


Two young fighters perform the Wai Khru Ram Muay ritual before a fight of Muay Thai in Ratchadamnoen Stadium, Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue, Bangkok, Thailand. 02 jan 2000
During Wai Khru Ram Muay the fighters perform a kind of gracious dance, almost like birds, on the tunes of live music. The live band also plays during the fight, sometimes encouraging the fighters in their enthusiasm, sometimes rather lingering on when there's little action in the rink.
