The past two years if the life on a isolated island (kind of)

The time flies faster than one can realize. It has been two years since I started to set my feet on the island of Phi Phi where is attractive to both Thai and foreign tourists. You might imagine this place is full of people, shops and some entertainments. It is like that actually but in the area of the main bay of Tonsai. There are almost everything you need on the other side.

On the other hand, the place I have decided to live maybe 5 years more or less is totally different world. It is quiet especially at night. There are only 4 hotels including my working place, Zeavola Resort and 1 small shop and maybe 2 or 3 small restaurants located on Laem Tong beach, the norther cape of Phi Phi Island. It is where on guests and staff of the hotels are. We might have a numerous day-tour visitor who came for lunch and left an hour later. Sometimes, they are too many and make noise all over the place. (I kinda don't like this situation. Anyway, life has to go on so I learn to how to think like both my guests and the day visitors.

You may wonder where would I stay. The resort provides the staff house for all staff as there ain't a lot of accommodation in the area unless some of the staff who would live as a couple need to find their love nest.

I was and am quite living in a good room as my position allows me. I don't have a roommate for the last two years as there are not a lot of female assistant manager. It is a true blessing though.  

In the beginning, my life looked boring here for there were not many things to be done. I felt a little unsatisfied. The month later, my boss gave me more tasks to do and some of the things that I had to find my own way to make it completely and nicely done. So, it was not boring anymore. 

However, there still is nothing to do much on my day-off even though it is only once in a week. The first month, I've explored this small island all over. There is only a few spots that I haven't been for I couldn't make it on my own. I once asked one of my colleagues whether he has been all over the place like I did. It was a shock at his answer. You may guess the answer right away if I mentioned like this. Unbelievable!! He hasn't been most of the popular spots on this small island with his almost 9 years here. It was taking me only 1 month. After that I have nothing to do again. :( 

Tips to live here: 

1.  I have to prepare all my needed items and bring them from Phuket for a month.  I will be on the main land at least once a month.
2. Internet is super importance as it is a tool to connect with the world. Sometimes, we might know more of things than people on the main land.  Haha!! (maybe it is not true). 
3. Weather forecast is one thing that we have to watch everyday. It is actually by hours if we have some kind of storm. 
4. The nearest town can be reached by only boat. It is Tonsai bay. It might take 20 - 30 minutes by long tail boat depends on the sea and weather conditions. Life is unpredictable here. 
5. If you are the Party Mania, you can't live here more than a month. It is quiet. You may have a party with our colleague but remember we don't have a night life here. Just a small group of people hanging out. I time to time join those.  
6. Online shopping is the most possible way that I buy most of stuffs I need. It is quite convenience. Anyway, I try to stop this habit. Haha! :) 
7. Last but not least, If you like the sea, sand, sun and quietness, you will be the person who fits here.  

 My tips sound terrible for someone who likes to live in a complicated crowded world.  I sometime like that. However, I appropriate and enjoy this now. Don't know how long it gonna be.

My life has been changed a lot in the last two year. I'm more mature. I look at the world with the different points of view . I live my like at the best as I  can. I've been thankful for all people who are around me either they're good or bad to me. 

I will share more on details of how I live and how people on the island spend their lives. 

Life in the Small Island of Phi Phi

(Local transportion: Lng tail boat)

This is the a new life of Mine

It was year 2011 when I still worked at my previous workplace called La Flora Resort & Spa. It was the first place I started to work in the hotel. It was a big hotel with 4-star class. I loved it but somehow, there were tons of problems that I didn't create them myself but becuase of working with the management team made me sick in that place. I told myself everything would be better so I sucked my breathe it or a little while to see what should I do. Later on I was regreat for I had decided to stay longer over there. Poeple flight.They just like to kill each other if they could use for thier profit, but not me. I was not in any group or gang so I just like to work and had a lot of fud during working. It was last until November 2011. I had got to make a decision to stay there or move on. Then I got a job for there but in the lower position so what. I was working there satisfying my time and my personal life. They didn't care about there. The moto of the place is "The human's value depends on whom you stick with, not what the work has need done". That was the day I made a decision to stay away for my ideal hotel. Even I had to move out from the location where I liked a lot. The friends I was aready familia with. The conveniences I could get over there. They all turned out to be an islolated rural island where there is nothing. (I don't like Phuekt I should myself actaully to be here. Khao Lak has not interesting position to be in.)


(the Picture from my apartment's window)


I moved all things put from Khao Lak and La Flora on November 28th, 2011 at around 11 a.m. with my best brother/ friend's help. At that moment I felt that I have lost many things especailly friends. I was sad T_T a lot but I knew it was right to do that. If I still tied myself with old things I could not be happy as I should be. The night before I left I had dinner for several times with some of my friends, different interesting groups of people.

The first night when I was on the island I really wanted to cry and asked myself why did I stay in this too quiet island. All things were new to me and I had to learned all of them even I like them or not I could step back anymore. :( )" The week passed by I needed to run away. All adjustments were on process but the inside said "no". The inside of mine fought each other; One said "keep going", the other "Fly away". I seemed like I was not happy for what I have chosen. When people saw me they always asked "can you live here?". So my answered to them was "i am not sure. Let's see how long will I be here?". It is true. Until now I still doubt how long will I be in this place.

dat by day, week by week, now it is going in the forth month, I don't know the time goes so fast or I don't really count it anymore. This place makes me see people in the other eyes. I can get angry but it is just a bling. Even I was so deep in my madness. I can't choose to go away and I have to face with it. So I learn how to love the way they are. I enjoy even small things I think I can't.

In the middle of February, I have a chance to visit my old friends in Khao Lak, the place I have left. It was just a confirmation that I should stay away from community. They are still the same. Nothing change, nothing new in the past 3 month I was not there. It is better to change myself. Then, the trip that I went was just likegreat in the beginning. Later it was a fake to go together. people lied to each other. It was actually all of them knew what was going on but not me. After I found out my travel mates were not sincere to me and they were nice in front of me in the second night. The truth behind my back was totally different. This made me feel like I needed to take the other way. I finally went through that awkward situation. I am not sure whether they realized that I already got a hint and find out all the behind story. The trip had changed this was not fun anymore. I cried out in the inside for I colud neither go or run away. The emotion was like you were in the small dark room and not even a door to go out.

However, I can take a long breathe to be with poeple who are not really like to take advantage the other as same as the Flora one. This must be way better. I found myself fall in love with the tiny little cummniity even sometimes I would like to have my private area. This shall not be any problem anymore. Everything goes well & I hope I would stay here a curtain point of time.



Small place, Big Heart!
Love from the Island










(From the management to the workers gether for party all the time.)

Ending is coming

It is so soon that the end of this story will be ended. As i have to say it has never happened. It is just like the feel of having someone to be with and it will be not the same forever. Things might get sad.

I luaghed at one who being so fool about love or something they call 'Love' and she has expressed it out. How about me myself, I Can't do anything, but the fooler. I have to ask God why he has created me with people I feel so cold when I am with them? Or I dump myself to be like this.


i am holding on this even i know I'll be the one who gets hurt so just let it go now better to have an injured feeling


Bye bye and thank you for a good past time that I have with you.
