Travel diary from the vault - Thailand - Entry four

Sometime mid august 2007

My special place exists in the gulf of Thailand. Amazing Thailand.  We live by the heat of the sun and the rising of the moon.  We know no time just day, night, full and half moon.  We don't get no sleep but we have no need for it.
Our deep green ocean gives energy to get us through night and day.  The tide rolls in and out and crabs and dogs dig holes.  Funky house wafts all over this beach and we sip coconut juice.

Travel diary from the vault - Thailand - entry three

Some day in late July 2007

Im still not sure what day or time it is yet but I know I've been here a while now.  Long enough to feel a part of the Tong Nai Pan community. And it's an interesting little community. So who are the people in my neighbourhood?

Koh Phangnan 3rd July 2007

I've decided to stay on here at Koh Phangnan for the rest of the month.  I'm starting to get to know the locals and it would be stupid to leave.  What for? Move on and do the same sh*t everybody else does which is just a ploy to make you spend more money without actually stopping to get to know the people.  This is the real experience, stay for a while longer.

  

Travel diary from the vault - Thailand - entry one

I was cleaning out my closet, literally, and I found my travel diary "Watch me write" from when I travelled through Thailand.  "Through" is probably the wrong word to use however.  I would use the term "parked up" as more descriptive of my time in Thailand.  How nostalgic, how reminiscent, how wish-I-could-do-it-all-again.  Below I share :)

Bangkok 2th June 2007

The Thai people are such lovely people.  They have so little yet give so much and graciously with a big smile.  How are some humans born like this and others from the west so different?  Same, same but different?  They laugh, joke with you and always want to help, we could learn a lot.
