I was so lucky to squeeze my way through the crowd to get close enough to capture these images of a local Thai boxing match in Sisaket.
The muay thai is a big deal in the small villages, and the whole town comes to watch, with small vendors setting up on the sidelines and the locals oiling up their fighters to shine brightly in the ring.
The kids competing were tiny but fierce and they took the stage with their wai kru and duct taped gloves.
