Interestingly enough, I trained in Muay Thai here a number of years ago - my second father-in-law was the boxing promoter who took Muay Thai to the world in the story that became the movie Bloodsport starring Jean Claude van Damme. The movie was actually shot in his kick boxing stadium, I've fought there myself so I can assure its utterly authentic.
I hope at least you're training in Muay Thai, man, that's the place to be!
:)
And I'm reminded more of Milton the red stapler guy from "Office Space" than Andy Dufresne from "Shawshank Redemption."
Either way, congrats man! Sounds like a dream job. (And yes, Techwhirl is the big house, with a couple of wardens that generally let the gen-pop rabble rouse.)

Step 1 for me was relocating to Thailand, step 2 will be starting my new position as ops manager of a gorgeous beachside resort, step 3 (at least a year away) will be offering corporate training programs at said hotel :-p
Programmed myself out of too many jobs, time to run drones :-)

Opinions? I don't agree with everything they say, but it is always good to wear more than one hat.
