Take a deep breath, young one. Sit down and read slowly.

Greetings, fellow Thais! This is my second travelogue, following my previous mountain tour. This time, I'm taking you on a journey through Thailand's southernmost region, the "Axe Handle." My adventure began on February 20, 2015, and culminated in Hat Yai. Despite the longer distance, I once again relied on my trusty Vespa 125ie motorcycle. As always, I embarked on this solo expedition. My route started in Bangkok and included stops at Wat Mae Phra Bang Koet, Wat Bang Kung, the Chong Hua Mang Project, Wat Huai Mongkol, Hua Hin, Pran Buri, Khao Lom Muak, Khao Sam Roi Yot, Phra Maha That Chedi Pakdi Prakat, Chumphon, Ko Ngam Yai, Ko Ngam Noi, Khao Thalu, Bangkok, Bang Saphan, Suan Mokkh, Hat Yai, Lipe, Emerald Pool, Wat Tham Suea, Phuket (Patong), Ko Phayam, Khao Hin Ya, and finally, back to Bangkok. The entire trip took 10 days. So, hop on board and let's explore together! ^_^

February 20, 2015 (Day 1 of the trip)

(Bangkok - Church of the Mother of God - Bang Kung Temple - Chang Hua Man Project - Huai Mongkol Temple - Hua Hin - Pran Buri - Khao Lom Muak - Khao Sam Roi Yot) On the first day, we rode a long way, still with a lot of energy from

From Bangkok, I took Rama 2 Road and went straight to the Church of Our Lady of the Nativity. Earlier, I also stopped by the Amphawa Floating Market in the morning.

The Morning Market at Amphawa

While Amphawa Floating Market is renowned for its evening atmosphere, it also offers a vibrant morning scene with a variety of food options. I stopped by for breakfast and enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the market. However, to my surprise, the cherry shop was still closed.

Undeterred, I continued my exploration and headed towards the Church of the Nativity of Our Lady. Unfortunately, upon arrival, I was greeted by a sudden downpour. The church was also in the midst of preparations for an event, limiting my photo opportunities.

The rain started to fall during that time. What should we do now? It's bad, it's raining on the first day. (sarcasm)

As the rain intensified, I quickly drove away in search of a suitable shelter. However, the downpour subsided shortly after I departed. My next destination was Wat Bang Kung, a temple renowned for its diverse attractions.

After paying respects at the temple and making merit, we continued our journey to the "Weighing the Head" project. We took the following route: 3093 > AH2 > 3349 > 3510 > 4006 > 3410 > 6005. Along the way, we encountered a large herd of cows, which we captured on camera for your viewing pleasure.

The Weighing of the Taro project is another place that I really wanted to visit, and when I got there, it taught me a lot. Just walking around and soaking it all in, I could feel it. Happiness is all around us, we just tend to overlook it.

The project also attracted young children and teenagers, which made me feel happy. After walking around for a while, I felt refreshed and continued to Wat Huai Mongkol. The route I used was 4002 > When I reached the 3-way intersection at Huai Song Sai, I stopped for a moment. At the intersection, I turned left and followed the stream. Then I went straight ahead > 1001 > 3219 > 3218 > Wat Huai Mongkol.

Following the roadside, the owner is taking it to graze. So I followed it like this. Will it reach its destination like this? Haha.

Riding past Huai Song Sai, I became increasingly doubtful as I ventured deeper into the unknown. I questioned whether the path Cherry had chosen was even passable. There was no sign of paved roads. (I had already opened GPS and checked the map for the shortest route, and this was it. Don't follow the suggested route; it's no fun! Haha.) As I continued along the path, I was overjoyed to finally find a road. Soon after, I arrived at Wat Huai Mongkol. Amen.

After paying respects at the temple, I traveled to Pran Buri district to visit the homeowner. I had met him at Khao Chang Puak, where he was also traveling solo. This time, I stopped by to see him again. ^_^ Fortunately, the kind homeowner offered me a place to stay and even took me sightseeing. I was so relieved! After greeting each other like old friends, we set off on our adventure. Our first destination was the Sam Roi Yot National Park. We started at the tourist service center before heading to Khao Daeng Viewpoint. This is the first and only photo I took with the homeowner. We didn't take any more photos together after that.

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, just like Cherry said, the rocks were burning hot.

After resting, we went down to continue our journey. Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park has many attractions, so we tried to visit as many as possible. Next, we visited a temple with a striking name: Wat Hub Ta To. What does it mean? Well, I have no idea! ^^

After visiting Wat Hub Ta To, we continued our journey, stopping to eat here and there. Our next destination was Bueng Bua. We arrived early, and the sun was still strong. We could only sit, lie down, and play with the cats while waiting for time to pass. However, most importantly, Bueng Bua did not have any cherry blossoms. Life is dark. We came to Bueng Bua and did not see a single lotus flower.

The two images above are from a GoPro camera, while this image is from a larger camera.

The air here is so good that I can breathe deeply. The sun has set, so I'm riding my bike back to Hua Hin town to take a walk at the Cicada Market.

After listening to some great music, I felt thirsty and sat down to drink some water to relax my body. ^^ After enjoying the atmosphere, I went back to my accommodation to sleep. I would like to thank the homeowner very much for taking me to so many places. Let's just say it was very comfortable, too comfortable. Haha. Thank you again here. Another day of sightseeing is over.

February 21, 2015 (Day 2 of the trip)

Translation:

Let's go! We've packed our things and are ready to head out!

This morning, I will visit Ao Manao. In the afternoon, I will decide where to go next. Then, I will leave Hua Hin and head to Wing 53 via Highway 4. I have arrived at Wing 53.

On the way to the foot of the mountain, I saw a beautiful scene and took a picture. A little further on, I reached the foot of the mountain.

I asked the uncle who was on the beach that

Translation:

Me: Hey uncle, how's it up there? Have you ever been up there?

Uncle: I've never climbed it. You have to climb up there. There are only stairs at the beginning. Many people have climbed up and then come back down.

Me: Uncle, is there a place to leave my things? I came by motorbike and I have a lot of stuff.

Uncle: No, if you're going alone, don't go. It's dangerous. What if something happens to you on the way?

Me: Yes, thank you very much, uncle. (In my mind, I was thinking, "Why is this uncle threatening me so much? He doesn't even know me well enough. Hmph.")

I then paced back and forth at the foot of the stairs, waiting to see who else would come up. While I waited, I played with Saiyiu.

Whether I will be promoted or not, I will tell you in the next episode. Please wait a moment. Hehehe!!!

Translation:

If this story is good, please share it. If you like this story, please vote to encourage us to continue. Haha, let's continue the story. Where were we? Oh, just as I was waiting impatiently, someone came along. I quickly followed him up with my valuables. As I walked up, before I even reached the first flight of stairs, the group of people who had gone up before me were already coming down. Oh my god! So I decided to keep going. There were two sections to the climb. The first section was a flight of stairs, only two flights, but by the time I reached the end of the stairs, I was already tired. During my break, I got another card. The most intense part of the climb was when I realized I hadn't brought any water with me. Oh man, I was going crazy. It was so hard without any water.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

This photo was taken during the ascent. A fellow hiker took it for me and we met at the top. I would like to thank them again.

Upon reaching the summit, I encountered conscripts. We engaged in conversation, inquiring about their experiences and motivations for enlisting. Some had attempted the ascent multiple times before finally succeeding, while others reached the peak on their first attempt. It appears that success hinges on one's determination. The path leading to the summit was exhilarating, but I strongly recommend wearing sneakers for optimal comfort and support.

Translation:

After a short break, the photographer who took my picture arrived. We chatted for a while, and he invited me to go diving in Chumphon. Being the easygoing person I am, I immediately agreed, even though I had never met him before. He gave me his number to book the diving trip, and I called right away, fearing it would be full. To my surprise, I managed to book a spot. Feeling refreshed, I headed down to the beach, feeling incredibly thirsty. Before leaving, I asked for the photographer's number so we could meet up in Chumphon.

Within 5 minutes of arriving downstairs, a car company called to inform me of the interview results.

Translation:

Employee: Hey, little one, are you cold?

Me: Hello, this is the operator.

Employee: See you on Monday, the 23rd, for a physical exam. !@##$(!#$!@#$%^%#$%!@

Okay, I can do that. Here is the translation:

Me: Okay, I got it.

Translation:

The conversation left me speechless. "Wow," I thought, "Is this what they call bittersweet?" I sat there for a moment, contemplating my next move. Should I head straight to Bangkok and cancel my diving trip? After all, I needed a medical check-up, and failing it would be disastrous, especially after two rounds of interviews. But then again, I could always continue my journey and decide later. So, I continued my travels, heading towards the Phra Maha Chedi Pakdi Prakat, following highways 4, 1048, and 1029 until I reached my destination.

Translation:

The artwork inside is incredibly beautiful. If you have the chance, definitely visit! It's truly stunning, although my photos may not do it justice.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

After taking this photo, I sat down to consider whether to continue my journey or return to Bangkok. And I decided that...

Wow, since I was already there, and it was only a few kilometers to Chumphon, I decided to keep going. Then I continued on the main road. As I approached Tung Wua Laen Beach, I stopped by a shrimp farm for a bit. I saw that the sun was setting, and I wouldn't make it to the beach in time. So I asked the uncle if I could sit and chat with him, and I even considered sleeping over at his place.

Translation:

The shrimp farm owner wouldn't let me sleep there, haha. So I went to the beach to find another place to sleep. It was already late when I left my uncle's house, so I stopped by the police station to ask the officer if they had a place for me to pitch my tent. The officer replied that they couldn't guarantee my safety. (Wow, you're a police officer, I thought to myself, don't say that out loud, haha.) He said that there were a lot of teenagers in the area at night and it was very dangerous. So I ended up renting a room for 300 baht a night, which was okay, and it had air conditioning.

February 22, 2021 (Day 3 of the trip)

Waking up and waiting for the sunrise. Don't forget that I have to return to Bangkok today because I have a medical check-up tomorrow. I have to remind myself to avoid forgetting.

After finishing taking photos while walking, I looked for food to eat. After preparing my things and cleaning up, I went to Chumphon Cabana to prepare for diving. During this time, I don't know where the VDO and photos in my Gopro camera went. So, there are fewer photos this time around, so there are no pictures of the journey or while waiting. The first place I went to was Koh Ngam Yai, followed by Koh Ngam Noi, and finally Kohทะลุ. (Just look at the pictures as you go along, all the good pictures are gone T_T)

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Get ready, we're going in the water!

Large Ngam Island

Ngam Noi Island

Koh Taluh

After finishing the diving at Koh Taloo, we returned to the shore. If anyone is interested in learning to dive, I think it's a good option. The coral reefs were not bleached, which was great. Unfortunately, all my photos are gone, which is a bummer. After arriving, we showered, packed our belongings, and traveled back to Bangkok. I have to go for a medical checkup tomorrow. (I keep reminding myself, seriously.) Is the fun already over? This 10-day trip is probably coming to an end. T T It's a real bummer.

Translation:

On the way back, we encountered some children and stopped to chat with them for a while. They were hilarious and incredibly friendly. Wow, we ended up talking for almost an hour! It felt like it was just a quick conversation. Afterwards, we continued our journey back to Bangkok, sticking to the main roads to avoid arriving late.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

I arrived at a gas station near Dan Hoi Lod and saw this group of motorcyclists. They had just been to Ratchaburi, and I asked to take a picture of their beautiful bikes. They kindly let me join their convoy back. When we reached Rama 2 Road, I said goodbye to them and continued on my way. I soon arrived at my destination safely and went straight to sleep, worried about failing a body search.

Go to sleep. I'm sleepy and tired.

Translation:

February 23, 2015 (Day four of the trip)

Today, I had nothing to do except go to the company for a medical checkup. I'm feeling confused and unsure about what to do next. Going back seems like a long way, but I definitely need to find a place to stay first. This time, I'll try to pack light and only bring essentials. I need to get new clothes because I start work in a few days. After the checkup, I decided, "Hey, this is something I've always wanted to do, so why let it fail?" So I packed my things and left around 3 pm. Before that, I called my senior to ask if I could stay with them for a night. My goal for today was Bang Saphan. I decided to take the main road to avoid wasting time. I arrived in Bang Saphan around 9 pm and found a cool restaurant, so I stopped to eat.

The owner is very kind and the food is delicious. They also have a Vespa scooter.

After a brief rest, my senior took me to another restaurant before finally bringing me to my accommodation. I would like to express my gratitude once again for the comfortable lodging.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Today, we continue our journey, taking routes 3374, 3497, and 41.

On the way, I also met a young scout. We greeted each other by shaking left hands ^_^ and saluting with our right hands ^_^

We soon arrived at Suan Mokkh.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

This is another very peaceful place. I stayed here longer than at other tourist attractions. ^^ Then I drove on. At first, I was going to stop at Koh Samui, but I had already been there, so I didn't know why I should go again. So I just kept driving until I reached Hat Yai.

Upon arriving in Hat Yai, I immediately called my cousin. I'll be staying with them, haha! Then, I went out to explore the nightlife and see if there was anything delicious to eat. My favorite dish is definitely this, Kua Kling. It's some kind of curry, I don't know, but it's delicious. Then I went for dessert, but all the good places were closed. What a day! Everything was closed.

Visiting Hat Yai without trying its famous fried chicken is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. Let's go and savor the delicious fried chicken of Hat Yai, with its satisfying crunch and juicy meat.

This area is a Chinese zone.

Then I went to the bedroom and slept soundly. I was very tired. My sister suggested that I go to Lipe. Many people also suggested that I go to Lipe. Well, I'll go tomorrow. I haven't booked anything for Lipe yet. I wonder if it will be full.

Let's stop here for now. I will continue the remaining half tomorrow evening.

Translation:

There will be a VDO coming soon, please wait a moment ^_^ After work, let's continue writing. If you are tired of the evening news, come and read our post. Wow, I woke up several times last night at the big market, haha. Come on, come on, come on, wake up, let's go on a trip together, come on, come on, come on...

February 25, 2015 (Day Six of the Journey)

The first light of Hat Yai

Translation:

Today, I had to go to Koh Lipe, but I hadn't booked anything and didn't know what to expect. I just knew I had to leave early in the morning. Haha, I left Hat Yai so early that I don't even remember what time it was. I just drove straight to Pak Bara Pier. I realized I had forgotten to take my camera out of my big bag, so I couldn't take any pictures. T_T I didn't get to take any photos until I arrived at the pier. I had to ask the crew to open the bottom of the boat and get my bag so I could take my camera out. But… the battery of my big camera was dead. Ugh, my life is so unlucky!

Translation:

Here is the translation:

Hey, we finally made it to the first spot. Let's take a long look at the pictures.

"The footprints of travel soon fade away."

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

After stopping at this point, I went straight to Lipe. I had to find accommodation before noon because I had to continue my trip.

I found a great deal on a hotel room and quickly threw my belongings in before heading to the beach to wait for the boat. The views were breathtaking, even more stunning than the pictures I had seen online. I recommend a three-day, two-night stay to fully appreciate the beauty of the island.

Choopy Doo Waa

The half-land, half-water job is here ^_^ Oh, come on, let's continue. You shouldn't have interrupted. Haha.

Splash into the water.

After the trip, I returned to my accommodation to rest and take a nap. Before sunset, I went for a walk and watched the sunset.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Waiting and waiting, still no sign of it. Oh my god, it's almost time!

As the sun began to set, I snapped a few photos. To my surprise, the cherry blossoms had already fallen. I decided to head back to my accommodation and find some food and beer.

Strolling along the walking street, we were greeted by an abundance of affordable food options, a rarity considering the location. We indulged in a variety of dishes, leaving us pleasantly full and slightly lightheaded. With our appetites satisfied, we decided to call it a night and head back to our accommodation.

February 26, 2015 (Day 7 of the journey)

Woke up late today because I didn't get much rest. After waking up, I packed my things and headed back to shore.

"Uncle, please hold my bag for me! This uncle, he only sleeps on my boat. I don't know where he's been sleep-deprived from. Haha!"

On the way back, I asked to take a picture with the shop, "What TRAVEL". The service was excellent. Before leaving, I had the opportunity to talk to the owner and tell him how I came to be so brave to come alone. He also recommended many more places for me to visit. After talking, I continued my journey, taking the route to Krabi. I followed the signs because I was too lazy to look at the map. If I got lost, I would just ask someone. The first place I went was Emerald Pool. I saw other people going there, so I wanted to go too. ^_^

Not long after waiting, it was...

Upon arrival, the question of where to place my belongings always arises. This is a recurring issue that I encounter at every location I visit. After examining my surroundings, I conclude that carrying my belongings is the most practical option, despite the additional weight.

It didn't take long to reach the first pond. I was almost exhausted, carrying this heavy load. My back was about to break.

We decided to take a dip in the water since we were already there. We left our belongings nearby where we could keep an eye on them. The water was refreshingly cool.

I was playing in the water for a while when I remembered that I had a friend in Krabi. I tried calling him, but then I remembered that he works in Bangkok. Today is starting to feel a bit strange. Haha, oh well. I guess I'll just grab my bag and head to the next pool. I've come all this way, so I might as well make the most of it.

Despite the sign's claim that clapping would cause water to bubble up, my repeated attempts proved futile. Frustrated, I returned to my car and continued my journey. My next destination was a temple, where I eagerly anticipated the sunset. The steep climb to the top required careful preparation, as the sun was beginning to set.

Wait, wait, wait, do you see this sign?

I wish I could fly. More importantly, I have to carry my bag with valuables again. Oh my god, I'm crying so hard.

The long-awaited final stage has finally arrived.

Translation:

"Exhausted! It took about 45 minutes. Is that considered short or long? I highly recommend it, it's truly beautiful."

Then take a long break and wait for the sunset. Wait to see Krabi city at night, oh yeah!

Everyone else has started walking down, but I'm the only one left.

We stayed there until there was no one left above. The descent was a bit scary, I must say. As we were walking, our hair stood on end. Oh, cherry, even now, my hair stands on end because the path was unlit. But luckily, we brought a flashlight. When we reached the bottom, we sat down for a long, long rest because we were really tired. After resting, we had to find a place to sleep. ^_^ ..................................

Translation:

Translation:

Let's take a break here and go grab some food first ^_^ After we eat, we can come back and read some more.

Don't forget to upvote us! ^_^ Let's go! After we eat, we'll continue riding. We'll ride our motorcycles, not anything else. Haha! We'll ride and ride, and then we'll know what's up.

Where is it? Let me tell you, it's one of the top worldly cities.

Patong City, woohoo! Then I rode to my relative's house and asked to stay for a night or two. ^_^ After I finished packing, I went for a walk in Bangla Road, a street that everyone knows what it's like.

Translation:

Let's take a short walk, grab something cold to drink, and then head home to sleep.

February 27, 2015 (Day 8 of the trip)

I woke up late again today, as usual. I didn't go out much today because I didn't know where to go. I've been to almost everywhere already.

In the afternoon, I decided to go out and take some photos of the sunset. It was a nice way to relax after a long journey.

Very few people were walking down where I went to take pictures. Most people thought nothing was happening, but I thought something was going on, and I got to see the view in the picture. In reality, it was much more beautiful.

As the sun sets, an airplane flies by.

After capturing the sunset, I headed into town because there's a walking street event going on. I decided to check it out and let me tell you, there was a ton of food! There was also a lot of different stuff to see.

Retro circle dance is also available.

Translation:

"This restaurant serves delicious food. If you're visiting, be sure to stop by. I can't recall the name, but it's located on Thalang Road. Work-work-work, but roti is a must!"

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

The atmosphere is very retro, but there are too many people.

After taking a walk, I felt overwhelmed by the massive crowd. I walked to the end of the alley and turned around to head back. I think I'll go back to sleep and save my energy for later.

Translation:

It's time to sleep so you won't be a burden to your children. Haha! I'll continue the story later. I'm starting to run out of energy to write anymore. Please help me by voting or sharing this post. Hehe. Sorry, there was a slight problem yesterday that prevented me from continuing the story. So, I'm going to postpone it to today. Let's get started! I'll continue the story now.

February 28, 2015 (Day 9 of the journey)

Packed up and said goodbye to relatives, then set off on a journey.

The first meal of the day must be a heavy one to fuel both the person and the car. This time I came early and finally got to try it. I usually come at noon, and there are so many people that it's hard to stop and eat. This time I got to eat to my heart's content. It's delicious and not expensive.

The next in line after the people finish eating are the cars.

Treat your car to some good stuff so it has some energy too ^_^ Today was a very hot day, hot as hell! I was a bit sleepy and dozed off while riding, so I looked for something to do to stay awake around this sign ^_^

Upon arriving in Ranong, I was eager to visit Koh Phayam. Having seen positive reviews, I was keen to experience its beauty firsthand. Before entering the city center, I inquired at a gas station about the direction to the pier for Koh Phayam. The attendant informed me that I needed to make a U-turn. Although I had previously researched that the pier was located within the city, I decided to trust the attendant's advice due to my concern about missing the 2 pm ferry. However, upon following the attendant's directions, I discovered that the only available option was a private boat charter with local fishermen. While this was not the attendant's fault, I realized that I had made a mistake in trusting their advice. I thought to myself, "Do I really have to go through all this effort just to get there?" Subsequently, I rushed to the Pak Nam Pier, fearing that I would miss the ferry. Unfortunately, I arrived too late for the 2 pm departure and was unable to bring my car. As a result, my only remaining option was a speedboat.

I arrived around 2:30 PM, but the boat didn't leave until 3:30 PM. I had some time to rest and take a nap. At 3:30 PM, it was time to board the boat and head to Koh Phayam. I left my car with a local, who initially wanted to charge me a fee. I went to the pier next door and struck up a conversation with a friendly man who let me park my car for free. Life is good!

Hello!

Upon arriving at the island, I wasted no time and immediately sought to rent a vehicle. By chance, I struck up a friendly conversation with the owner of the rental shop, and we discovered that we lived in the same neighborhood. He, too, was an avid motorcycle enthusiast, so we ended up chatting for quite some time. Soon after, I eagerly set off for the main bay. However, the road conditions were atrocious, making me wish for the absence of concrete. Upon reaching the beach, I hastily set up my camera equipment as the sun began its descent.

Translation:

The sun had set, and I was famished after a long day of searching for food. As I returned to my accommodation, I was greeted by a surprise. Uncle Rird (his full name is S. Rird, but I call him Uncle Rird for simplicity's sake) invited me to sit and chat with Rick, a visitor from Amsterdam. My English skills were lacking, making the conversation a bit challenging, but we managed to understand each other.

Rick explained that he had quit his job to travel. He had been on Koh Phayam for about three months and was planning to visit Tibet before returning to the island. After his travels, he would search for a new job. His lifestyle was quite different from that of most Thais. He also mentioned that it was rare to meet Thai travelers who embraced a simple lifestyle, as most Thais prefer comfort during their travels. His perspective was insightful.

We exchanged stories and travel experiences. Before bed, Uncle Rird informed me that Rick would be going swimming the next day. I arranged to meet Rick at Ao Khao Kwai beach at 10 am for a swim. Then, we all turned in for the night.

Apologies for this photo, it's really not good. Haha.

March 1, 2015 (Day 10 of the trip)

Today is probably the last day of my trip.

Tomorrow will be my first day as a salaried worker. Today, there's not much to do except for a tour around the island and then head back to the mainland. I've already booked my return ticket for 3:30 PM.

Good morning, I'm going to have a smoke. This is my friend Rick. We didn't talk last night because he went out with a girl. After saying hello, there's nothing else. I'm going on an island tour now. I'll meet Rick here at 10 am.

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

First, I went out to find some food because I was starving. After I finished eating, it was almost ten o'clock, so I went to pick up Rik. I arrived at his accommodation around 9:50 and had a relaxed chat with Rik's friend, Rik, and Uncle Horrid. After we finished talking and doing whatever else we needed to do, we went swimming at Ao Kwai. We all went in, even though I was feeling generous. My dick almost didn't get hard, damn it! But Rik's friend got out halfway because he thought the car wouldn't be able to go any further. Bullshit! No, it was because he wanted to go back to his accommodation to see his wife. Then I continued on to Ao Kwai.

I really like this cool bar, but it's not open. It's a bar that opens in the evening.

After sending Rick off, I let him swim away. Rick mentioned that he doesn't swim much in other places because the water isn't as clean as it is back home. He then asked if we could take a picture together, saying that he hopes to see me again sometime.

I continued my journey. The second bay was Khlong Pib Bay.

What are you guys playing? Can I join? I'm here alone and I'm bored. T_T

Tranquil Seclusion and Culinary Delights

The serene atmosphere offered a sense of near-complete privacy, allowing for carefree relaxation without the intrusion of curious onlookers. After a refreshing dip in the water, I returned to find myself perfectly in sync with the midday hour. As fate would have it, a newly opened restaurant caught my eye as I rode by. Curiosity piqued, I decided to give it a try. To my delight, the food proved to be exceptionally delicious, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a culinary adventure. As an added bonus, the establishment also offers comfortable accommodations, ensuring a truly immersive experience.

- Once finished, have a chat with the owner. ^_^ He just started investing and only has a few rooms available. They're not finished yet. Anyway, you can stop by the shop. It's on the way to Ao Hin Khao, I can't remember exactly where. Haha. Okay, let's get going. Haha. Are we going to Ao Hin Khao next?.....

Translation:

This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Next, we went to a bay with a rock formation, but I can't remember the name. Haha! I sat under a tree and listened to a foreign family singing beautifully. I'll share a video later.

The sound of the wind is a strange phenomenon, as if the bay itself were singing.

After finishing my trip, I almost forgot the time and realized I needed to return the motorbike by 3:30 PM. I rushed to return the bike to the owner and arrived early. I asked the owner if I could take another shower and pack my things in his shop. We chatted for a while, and I explained why I was traveling solo. The owner told me he also travels like me, but he hasn't been home for six months. He travels and builds temples in different places. He has been everywhere, which is even more impressive than my travels.

This is a great opportunity to explore different aspects of life and discover what truly makes us happy. Instead of simply following the traditional path, we should strive to create a life filled with experiences that align with our dreams and aspirations. While we may not have nine lives like a cat, we can certainly make the most of the one we have by embracing new challenges and pursuing our passions.

Here are some key takeaways from the original text:

• Importance of individuality: The text emphasizes the need to break free from societal expectations and forge our own unique path. It encourages us to explore our passions and pursue our dreams, rather than simply following the traditional life script.
• Limited time: The author reminds us that life is precious and we should make the most of it. We should not waste time on regrets or unfulfilled dreams. Instead, we should seize every opportunity to live life to the fullest.
• Embrace new experiences: The text encourages us to step outside of our comfort zones and try new things. By embracing new experiences, we can learn and grow as individuals.
• Live in the present: While it is important to plan for the future, we should also focus on enjoying the present moment. The author's experience on Koh Phayam serves as a reminder to appreciate the beauty of the world around us and to savor each moment.

Overall, the original text is a powerful reminder to live life on our own terms and to pursue our dreams with passion and determination. By embracing individuality, seizing opportunities, and living in the present, we can create a life that is truly fulfilling and meaningful.

Where to find the best sunset? I searched online for recommendations and ended up here.

That's Grass Mountain. Even though it's almost a 20-kilometer detour, it's the last sunset of the trip, so I'm willing to do anything. I start work tomorrow, so what's there to be afraid of?

A guest arrived, flying directly from India. After arriving, he shouted downstairs, "Can you hear me? I shouldn't have come up here. I can't get down. Help!"

Our lives need rest. If it's too much, just take a break.

After taking photos, we sat upstairs for a while because it was difficult to climb up and I almost fell. Soon after, the sun set and I rode my motorcycle back to Bangkok to prepare for work tomorrow. The photos end here. I didn't take any more photos because everything was pitch black. And so, the party had to come to an end. We waved goodbye.

For those who want to pursue their dreams, don't procrastinate. Just do it when the time is right. Trust me, happiness will follow. This trip has many photos that I didn't post. I want to share everything I experienced. If you have the chance, do it from a young age. I support you.

Thank you to my parents for understanding. At first, they didn't understand, but I was a very naughty child. Thank you to everyone who followed me. There may be a sequel to the next trip, but I don't know where. I just know that I will continue. Finally, I leave this picture here.

The VDO for EP.2 will be uploaded later. I'm not very good at making VDOs, so it takes me a long time. Haha.
