In July of 2010, over a dozen Parkour/Freerunning enthusiasts traveled to Thailand for what has become an annual event. You would think that all the civil unrest concerning Thailand merely a month before would deter them from coming, but not this group of adventurers. This band of merry travelers included practitioners from England, Australia, France, and Germany, all of whom thought it appropriate to set up camp in my modest 2 bed room apartment. This was cause for considerable discomfort on my behalf, but was a small price to pay in exchange for the experiences we shared.
Over 4 weeks they traveled to almost every corner of the country, from top to toe. From Chiang Mai, to Ton Sai, even venturing into Cambodia. They moved through cities, temples, beaches, and forests, taking in all the sights and taking every new location as an opportunity to train and share their passion for movement.
This group, with a moderate grasp of the native tongue, quickly dubbed themselves TEAM FARANG, but i much prefer to refer to them as my Farang-tourage.
