Hey all,

anyone know where a local boxing goods store is? Just looking for gloves and a heavy bag.

I visited Sports World who had some bags and gloves which (just) fit (size 16), but the prefilled bags were 10kg. The sales clerk told me that more than 10kg bags don't exist in Thailand, something which I found dubious to say the least considering what the nation's national sport is, and so was thinking maybe the empty bags weren't strong enough to be filled to 30-40kg (correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks

Wish I knew too.

It was a few years back now but I got my heavy bag from the friendly gentleman at

When I was a younger and angrier man, some years ago, I used one of the teak poles that held the house up as something to vent my anger on without the use of gloves. My hands have never been the same since.

I did the same thing with bamboo. Sometimes it is not bad being a pussy!

Giant bamboo is as hard as teak Ewe Gee and the house didn't so much as shudder let alone fall down.

My Marine training must have worked better than I thought!
