Fun in Koh Ma and Haad Rin

(1) Walking to Koh Ma through a sandbar, (2) A little entertainment in the water with the lens, (3) Struck a "Lord of the Dance" pose.

When life gets too tough, travel and experience the wonders of this world. And sometimes near the end, you find yourself ending up in that "life" once again. That's why you need to make and take more trips.

I haven't traversed the utmost parts of this world. In fact, I haven't been to many places like my classmates or friends have, which they like to brag about as obviously seen on their Facebook and or Instagram posts. But my insatiable thirst for adventure does not mean just travelling into one place or two. I want something bigger than that. 

I was at a happy place travelling in Thailand as I got to delve into the culture bit by bit, and got to explore some places. One of the places I've explored in Koh Phangan is Koh Ma, a small island connected by a sandbar to Had Mae Had. It was beautiful there, except the sand were grainy to walk on which I didn't mind enduring for a little bit. My friends and I laid our towels to enjoy a little bit of the sun and created our own little entertainment. We sat in the water and captured shots of us fooling around, especially that part where you dip your head and hair underwater and bob it up while the camera is shooting at high speed to create a different perspective of fun. I thought it was easier said than done and I, as the photographer, had to keep giving directions to the girls and took a lot of retakes. Tiring but fun.

(1) Lost my jet-ski virginity in Haad Rin, (2) Relaxing in Haad Rin on the last day.

Then we headed to Haad Rin where I lost my jet-ski virginity. The cost of jet-skiing in the area is around 1,400 THB that I split pay with Claire. We took turns of the controls. Claire's a dangerous driver because she likes speed, and I enjoy speed, too, my only problem is the high waves. I got a bit jittery when the machine went up and down. It was good adrenaline. Our other two friends were having fun, too, until Amanda flew in the air and plunged into the water. My heart pounded. I was worried about her safety as she could get hit by the propellers. Claire and I decided to switch turns, then she fell, too. We were laughing it off. The whole jet-ski experience was fun and scary, nevertheless, I enjoyed every single bit of it. I felt like a bad ass, someone who just came out of a James Bond movie. I want to do that again!

When the thought of the "last day" hit me, I sat on the beach and contemplated whether I'd like to stay for more or leave. If I go back to Macau, I'd be in that "life" once again. And if I stay in Thailand, I'll have more fun. I'd like to stay for more because I find the hospitality of the Thai people quite endearing, and the delicious Thai delicacies and the eye candies of the island itself. But it was not possible. I'm thankful for this wonderful experiences, and perhaps, I'll make more wonderful memories soon. Elsewhere.
