- 3. Evening prayer spills out from the minarets of a mosque set beside the wide, muddy Kelantan River, the color of a cup of Teh Tarik. On the rivers’ north bank lie emerald steaming jungles of permanent twilight and lurking shapes. In that direction too, is Narathiwat; Thailands’ now infamous southernmost state, known not for the white sand or blue water, the beautiful, jungle clad limestone mountains, or gem like islands, but for the slow burning fire of a civil war which has continued for centuries. On the Malay side of the river, the Kelantanese people speak and write the same Jawi, Arabic script modified for Malay language, are fervently religious Muslims, and live side by side with the Chinese and Thai who have inhabited the area since ancient days when the Kelantan area served the Srivijaya Empire of Sumatra as an important trading port for destinations as far away and exotic as Siam, the Khmer Empire, Vietnam under the Chams, and even far Cathay, China, and the Arabian deserts. Thought of even by other Malays as being a strict and segregated community flirting with Hudud law, a throwback to Hammurabi’s code, Kelantan has become, in recent years, quite progressive. Though the supermarkets still specify the aisles which can be visited by men and which by women, the sexes do their shopping mixed, and on the street the girls of the youth generation often walk about without a hijab to cover their hair. Some things, though, don’t change. The Kelantanese often have strong ties to their extended families in Thailand, and the tradition of fighting, whether known as Muay Thai or Tomoi, is fiercely enjoyed by men and women alike. The international nature of the fights in Kota Bharu attract a mix of local and Thai talent to compete in the confines of the boxing ring with fighters from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe in well matched, high quality exhibitions of skill, heart, and ferocity.

- 5. Thaiboxing involves much more than simple violence, however. It is an encompassing lifestyle; a culture of fighters and it is, it has been, since the dawn of man, a necessary outlet, and a stage set to be played upon by the valorous, to inspire the masses. It is difficult not to be moved by the sheer emotion of the spectacle, even for those most against the sport, of a fighter leaping into the ring and performing a perfectly composed Ram Muay, the dance which honors gods, spirits, ancestors, teachers, and spectators, before he must bare his soul in the trial of combat. A Muay band of blind musicians follows their drummer’s lead, the only one who can see the fight, raising their rhythm to match the fight, as the crowd frantically urges, wills, a man to arise from the canvas, to shake off his injuries and clear his eyes, to fight on. Backstage in the eye burning, menthol heavy air, fighters laugh off either victory or defeat. Some sit dejectedly, some nurse wounds, and some call their families to their sides. For some fighters even, win or lose, it’s just another pay day; the lumps will heal, and there will be another fight next week. For the crowds in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, the Heartland, as they say, of Malaysia, nomads from around the world have once again gathered to show their best, as they once did under the Srivijayas so long ago, and local champions have been born, because win or lose, a fighter tells the crowd everything thatj they need to know about him by his performance in the ring. Theinternational nature of the fights in Kota Bharu attract a mix of localand Thai talent to compete in the confines of the boxing ring with fighters from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe in well matched, high quality exhibitions of skill, heart, and ferocity.
