Kick-boxing or Muay Thai is the fighting system or martial art practiced in Thailand as well as several other South East Asian countries. Muay Thai literally means "Thai Boxing" and evolved from its ancestor "Muay Boran" or "Ancient Boxing".  Known also as The Art of the Eight Limbs, Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand and has differed slightly from Muay Boran since King Rama VII sanctioned a code and set of rules that was successfully put into practice due to the regular occurrence of death during bouts. Since then, the sport has introduced the wearing of padded boxing gloves and a western style boxing ring.

Wat Tum Sua or Tiger Cave Monastery
A monks retreat in the Krabi lowland forest
The Khao Phanom Bencha Mountain is home to one of the most sacred site in the province: located just 9 km from Krabi Town. The Wat Tham Sua, or Tiger Cave Monastery, is so called because a tiger once lived in the cave that is today the monastery's main hall. It is one of South Thailand's most famous and interesting forest temple, as the monks live, meditate and worship withing a maze of natural caves in an overgrown jungle valley, a deep natural amphitheater entirely enclosed by towering limestone formations. Inside the temple, visitors can explore the inner cave used by monks for meditation by turning on and off lights switches as they pass from one chamber to the next. Many Thai women live out their old-age here as nuns. They can often be seen sitting on their porches between the parking area and the staircase to the karsts, preparing herbal medicines.
