Muay Thai Kids

In Isaan, kids are enrolled in Muay Thai (the martial art that is the country’s national sport) as early as 5, and can be competing by 6-7 years old. Betting is fierce and the pressure on them is palpable. For poor kids, Muay Thai is a way of helping their families and a chance at a better life.
