J: Why do you train foreigners?
S: Because my Gym is located at Khao San road and the Banglampoo area and 4-5 years ago tourists became interested in Thai Boxing, and Muay Thai is very popular in Holland, France. Kao-Sarn road is the place for tourists and some of the guidebooks and TV shows have come here to see me and they broadcast about my Gym to the public and tourists. And the tourists who had come here, when they get back to their country, they tell their friends about my gym. They recommend my gym to their friends. Sometimes foreigners walk through or walk past my Gym and some of them were interested and then they come to learn and train Muay Thai.

J: Why are foreigners interested in learning Muay Thai?
