Hello all, not to complain about the weather, but...it's humid as hell and the clouds crowd the sky...similar to the bungalows on the beach...a lot changes in 3 years...
At least one more bungalow has been sandwiched between each pair that existed before, ...a formerly lonely side of rocky beach now boasts a paved trail leading down to the ocean, with bungalows on each side...Thai's sweep the dirt streets wearing Hawaiian adventure t-shirts, makes me wonder what life was like here before the foreign invasion. What were these islands like before every spot of available beachside had been doused in concrete and manufactured to sell Coco-cola and bottled water, with Reggae music on the side. I feel like i'm reverting back to 'The Beach' (the movie or book, take your pick), reminiscing about a Thailand that may or may not have ever existed...
A few more days and I will heading to a village to study Thai massage, sleeping on a mat under the stars amidst jungle mountains...I hesitate to romanticize what I haven't seen, but i'm looking forward to being immersed in that study...giving and receiving all day...
blessings, apologies for my meloncholy...it happens even in paradise...
