Legend has it: a boat carrying Ta Kreng (Grandpa Kreng) and Yai Riem (Grandma Riem) capsized at Ko Samui, killing the old couple who, for their son's sake, were sailing to Prachuap Khiri Khan to ask for the hand of their in-law's daughter. The locals believed then that their organs turned into the rock formations… Continue reading [THAILAND] o12.Does Nature Imitate Art?

[THAILAND] o11.Shopping @ The Buddy Oriental Plaza Samui
Drawn by the ring road's sleek and appealing post-colonial design, we parked here on our way to Lamai Beach for beach-wear shopping. The ring road consists mostly of restaurants (Pazzo Italian Cuisine and Wine Bar, Mulligan's Irish Pub) and boutiques (Chicstation, CocoVilla Supermarket, Lamai Boutique). The street stalls on the road leading away from the… Continue reading [THAILAND] o11.Shopping @ The Buddy Oriental Plaza Samui

[THAILAND] o10.Lamai Beach Samui
Ever taken a day from work to stroll all morning along the calmest beach on Koh Samui? I love how my traveling job makes it all easy to find myself on an entirely different city from day to day. Yet it makes me appreciative of nature's beauty on a minuscule scale. I'm all excitement and… Continue reading [THAILAND] o10.Lamai Beach Samui

Photo: Written in sand
The heart tells you where you want to be, not where you need to go. Destiny is not written in the stars. It is written in sand. Recharting a life will change it forever - just as simply, a fingerstroke can change an entire sand-art irreversibly. A destiny can also be re-written to imitate, but… Continue reading Photo: Written in sand
