LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Amazing Thailand Muay Thai Summer Camp 2024, held from July 16 to 28, offered an enriching two-week
program of Muay Thai training and
cultural experiences. A key highlight was the participation of WBC
Honorary Champion Bridger Walker,
celebrated for his heroic act at age six.
The camp was organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in partnership with the World
Boxing Council (WBC) MuayThai, EVA Air, and See My Thailand travel
agency. It featured Muay Thai
training sessions led by top trainers, allowing participants to
enhance their skills through intensive practice and expert
guidance.
Beyond training, attendees engaged in cultural activities and
local excursions, gaining a deeper appreciation of Thailand's rich heritage. Experiences included
watching live Muay Thai matches at
Ratchadamnoen and Lumpinee Stadiums, visiting famous landmarks, and
participating in the sacred Wai Kru
ceremony and certificate ceremony in Ayutthaya. These activities
enriched their understanding of Thai culture and fostered global
camaraderie.
Bridger Walker, known worldwide
for saving his younger sister from a dog attack, brought an
inspiring presence to the camp. His bravery and passion for
Muay Thai deeply resonated with
attendees, adding motivation to the camp.
The inaugural camp welcomed 50 participants from the
USA, comprising American children
aged 6 to 17, accompanied by parents or guardians. The program
provided a safe environment for young participants to learn
Muay Thai, gain confidence, and
experience Thai culture, fostering discipline and cultural
awareness.
Inspired by the camp's success, TAT is considering expanding the
initiative to other regions, with plans to potentially extend
future camps. The focus is on attracting participants from
Latin America, including
Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. Marketing activities will begin in
January, providing ample time for parents and guardians to plan for
the summer camp.
