CNN Spotlights Muay Thai and Buakaw in Eye On Thailand Report

The super-smiley folks at CNN profiled the sport of Muay Thai in their ongoing Eye On Thailand series, which takes a look at the country during its recovery period from major floods in November. Buakaw Por. Pramuk makes an appearance, as he should, as one of the most popular kickboxers in the world today.

Forecasts for Thailand's economy in 2012 don't look so hot, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand launched a campaign earlier this month to boost and build confidence in the local tourism industry. If you've got some vacation time coming up and are able and looking to travel, heading over there to watch some fights and spread a few bahts around sounds like a pretty decent idea. Who knows, you might even catch a Junie Browning fight for free.
