Tuesday 28th of April 2026 and my alarm goes off at 3 o'clock in the morning. A quick cup of tea together with a “TUNA & ONION SURPRISE” ® and I threw myself in to the Bangkok night.
We will have a full day ahead of us, we will go to Rajadamnern Stadium to register Sniper Aladdin Gym, Doctor check-up, weight-in and picture taking. And if Sniper Aladdin Gym is over the weight limit he has to run until he has lost enough weight to pass.
Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) have not been eating for a long time. So, he hopes to pass so he can eat to get power for tonight’s fight, fight #7, the main event at Rajadamnern Stadium (สนามมวยราชดำเนิน) So, it promises to be an exciting evening.
Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) is training hard every day at Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym (ไชยสิทธิ์มวยไทยยิม), morning and evening. Jogging 10 km in the morning before starting the punching and kicking.
A couple of hours rest in the afternoon and then straight back to continue kicking behinds. A couple of hours, and the same, day after day.
Last Thursday and The Red Devil (ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์) had arranged a BBQ for TEAM Aladdin Gym. After this there will not be much eating for Sniper Aladdin Gym.
Monday Aladdin Gym (มันเดย์ อะลาดินยิม) have a fight on the 4th of May at Max Muay Thai so he has to be careful with the food as well.
But BBQ, pure meat is very healthy, protein for their muscles and they will hit like a running freight train.
We left the gym to get to The Red Devil (ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์) house. We fired up the BBQ and we had about 4 kilo of meat and I was in doubt that we would be able to finish it all.

Well, anyway, Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) and I wanted to finish the weight in as soon as possible. We left the gym at 5 o'clock in the morning and we arrived to Rajadamnern Stadium about 30 minutes later.
We will have to do 4 things:
1) Register
2) Medical check-up
3) Weight-in
4) Taking a picture
If we pass the weight we can go to eat. There are a couple of fighters at the stadium when we arrive through the back door. Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) get in the line to register and it was soon turning very boring. I took the opportunity to let The Red Devil (ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์) show me around while waiting.

Jogging is required
Now he passes the weight-in
A picture and we can leave
Failing the first weight-in and even the second try without underwear failed. So, it was the sweat suit and jogging. Coming back and he passed the weight-in and we could leave.
Stopping on the way to buy food for Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) before going back to the gym. We will leave at 5 o'clock in the afternoon again and I drove back to my room to kill a few hours before driving back to the gym.
I drive back to the gym and I arrive to the gym 20 minutes before 5 o'clock and the team is not ready yet. The van is waiting for us, actually, I spotted the van along the main road. I understood that it was our van and I stopped to give the driver directions to the gym.
I manage to gather TEAM Aladdin Gym so we can get to the waiting van. It was a very comfy and plenty of space, impressive leg room. 10 Seats and there were only the six of us, but it would have been plenty space even if there would have been the ten of us.

The spirit was high when we left the gym bound for Rajadamnern Stadium (สนามมวยราชดำเนิน), we did the trip in 30 minutes in the morning, now, the traffic situation was a wee bit different. As soon as we came to Bangkok, the traffic came to a full stop.
But we had plenty time, I suggested the toll way, but The Red Devil (ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์) suggested the free way to kill time, or there would be a lot of waiting at the stadium. Sniper is the main attraction and he will be in the last fight.
We arrive just before the first fight start and we have quite some time to kill.

I was getting very tired, used to be in bed around 8 o'clock in the evening, and I have been up and about since 3 o'clock in the morning.
I was very lucky, the three fights before our fight all ended with knockout so it was soon time for Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) to get in to the ring.
The fight started and it was over in just a little bit more than 60 seconds and Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) had knocked out his opponent.
This was very good, now we could leave. Some delays as there were plenty people wanting to have pictures with Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม)
People from all over the world came up for having their pictures taken, so it delayed is for a bit. But it was fun, Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) will soon be world famous. But first of all, we need some sleep.

Sniper Aladdin Gym (สไนเปอร์ อะลาดินยิม) wife had come to the stadium with her friends so they joined us in the van going back to ไชยสิทธิ์มวยไทยยิม/ Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym where my Honda Giorno is waiting for me. It was 30 minutes before midnight when I was back in my room.
