Route Map 
Koh Tao, Thailand »
October 11, 2010
I know it will sound weird, but I really do not have many more photos from Koh Tao. I haven't done much of the great exciting things like diving and trekking through the jungle on the island, but being here had a different meaning for me. I felt like I am in a way unwinding everything I have known and starting all over. In a way it was true, and in a way it was just like a mental exercise I had to do. I don't know which was, or is more real. All I know is that, again, how letting all go feels, and take it one day at a time. Something I had to remind myself a about. I have always walked my own way, but at the same time I paid too much attencion to what others think of me, what's proper, what is a good thing to do. I feel I don't have to worry about this too much now. Doing what I was meant meant to do, without causing any harm, will create ymy place in society, naturally and spontaniously. There is no reason in trying to fit, to please, or prove yourself. Just being yourself, those who appreciate it will find me. I am really happy with who I am and the kind of person I am. And there is always a room for improvement, so it will never get boring.

Photo: Koh Tao, Thailand → My last physical connection to the island. This is where I was taking sitting the other day and taking photos. There is someone who used to greet me once in a while and sometimes sleep on the porch of my bungalow. Sometimes underneath, when it rained, and she came with me all the way here to say good bye. Really unexpected, loyal friend.
Photo: Koh Tao, Thailand → Here she is. She followed me from my bungalow all the way to the waiting area. Someone chased her away, so she ran. She also ran away from the other dogs who live there. But she came and laid next to my feet, waiting with me for almost an hour until I had to pick up my bags and go. She followed me all the way to where I boarded the boat. Then she had to turn away. She kept looking back often and here she is, standing, looking at me or for me. I wonder if she saw me.
Photo: Koh Tao, Thailand → Now we are on our separate ways. I hope she will have a good and safe life. A stray dog, just like me.
Photo: Koh Tao, Thailand → There is no way back now.

Photo: Koh Tao, Thailand → In the background, the white house I used to pass by a few times every day. Up the hill is where I had a home, for a short while.

Photo: Koh Tao, Thailand → Good Bye Koh Tao... The Turtle Island. See you again sometime...
My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
Safe travels ! ........... Stan
