This photo was taken in April 2019, far from the hassles and restrictions, happy days that followed one another without surprise, with only the worry of whether it would rain the next day. Sharing BBQs with friends, having a good drink by the beach to the sounds of the waves, laughter and music from the restaurants. It is in memory of this slice of life that we all knew, under other skies, that I post with nostalgia this picture hoping that it will come back soon for all.
Thank you for your kind visit, your charming comments and your faves. Have a great weekend ❤️
This was the view that greeted us at our holiday rental. Koh Maa is the small island offshore -at low tide it is possible to walk across a sandy tombolo to reach it. Bizarrely the Gulf of Thailand only has one set of tides per day and at this time of the year (High Tide Season), the tides did not favour us as it was only possible to do this during the hours of darkness
This lighthouse is the centrepiece of the national park known as Mu Koh Lanta, which is at the southernmost tip of the island. This is not a beach for sitting on - the shore is protected and the sea was teeming with fish.
The origin of the island's name is derived from "Lanta" which is slightly changed from "Lantas" in Java language which means "Pla stove which is used in grilling fish". It is a stove made from wood in square shape and raises the floor up like a table. The fire is lit under the stove and fish are laid on the stove for grilling. Moo Koh Lanta national park covers about 83,750 Rai or 134 square kilometers.
In the 80s Koh Pha Ngan was far back in development in contrast to its neighboring island Koh Samui. There were only dirt roads and hardly any private car. A few Thai families had built simple bamboo huts on the beach for a few backpacking tourists. We ate what the family cooked for us, it was always very tasty. There were no shops or exchange offices, no bank or post office. So the length of stay on this island was limited.
Staying simple and enjoy nature that was so relaxing and good for body and mind!
I took this photo in December 1983 with my analog Nikon FE camera, on 35mm Kodachrome slide film, and now scanned with Nikon Coolscan LS40ED film scanner.

Just a quick reminder that I do in fact live in Thailand. The other week I escaped the city with my hiking group to do a short hike across the island of Ko Larn which is a couple of hours south of Bangkok. This small island can be reached on a 40 minute boat ride from Pattaya landing at the dock on the centre left of shot. It was the perfect tonic following a few weeks of air pollution episodes in the capital

I snapped this photo near Grandfather (Hin Ta) and Grandmother (Hin Yai) rocks on Koh Samui’s south coast. Although the tourists were gathering at these rock formations that resemble human genitalia, I was drawn to the nearby sea rocks that were glowing in the late afternoon sun. If you happen to be in the Lamai Beach area, you may want to check this place out. An added bonus is the delicious smoothies! :)
Many thanks to everyone who took the trouble to visit, fave or comment.

Thank YOU so much for your visits & comments! Have a great Weekend my Flickr friends! ♥
Today's pictures are all panoramas taken from the ferry crossing from Koh Pha Ngan to Donsak on the mainland. Because of stormy conditions the day before there were no direct crossings and so we had to go via the island of Koh Samui.
Koh-Itten, which loosely translates to “one red spot” is a Japanese aesthetic term. Several other examples of this aesthetic can be viewed in the first comment box below. Albeit, these are my personal interpretations of 'koh-Itten' and quite probably they are a misinterpretation of the original Japanese concept? I will happily stand corrected if a viewer knows better and provides clarification in the comment section. :)
It is a pleasure to, once again, be photographing in Portugal!
