A 9 year old girl takes a break between rounds of muay thai boxing

Seeing this news story on a 7 year old girl who is a champion Muay Thai boxer reminded me of the night I watched a match between a 9 year boy and 9 year girl.

You can read my account of the night I went and watched some child Muay Thai boxers in Hua Hin at the Grand Sport Hua Hin on Petchkasem Road. This is a good night of entertainment if you are staying in Hua Hin, or even if you are living it up in one of the hotels in Cha Am, the next beach resort town on the way to Bangkok.

Do you think this is exploitation? Or do you think it is a good opportunity for kids with the talent and parents with drive to help them out of poverty? Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
