Above is a link to issue 7 of the Muay Thai Phuket Magazine. This is a free magazine based in Phuket, Thailand that covers some of their local news and ads, and some Muay Thai culture over all.

I already wrote about how Muay Thai is scored/judged in an earlier post (search it on the blog). I reference Tony Myers, who is one of the leading experts on Thai style scoring. In this magazine, he has an article that lays out step by step how the Thai's judge the winner of a bout. It is definitely worth a read, and will give you an idea behind the philosophies and methodologies to Muay Thai as both a sport and a fighting art.
