I came to the Island of Koh Pha Ngan Thailand planning on staying about ten days; I ended up staying a little more than three weeks as I enjoyed being here so much. I came here knowing I'd have an incredible quality of life for about 15 dollars a day. I came here to experience the island backpacker life. I came here knowing I'd meet great people from around the world and even make some long term friends. I came here to relax, to see the jungle, see the beaches, and stay up late a few nights having a good time. All these things I have now done. This is really a gem of a location. But over the past few days I've been feeling that it's time to go.
I know it's time to go because the thrill of being here I no longer feel. I've gotten used to $4.50 Thai massages and swimming pools filled with beautiful European girls and interesting people from around the world. It's no longer special or new. I've walked through the main town, I've seen every street in Haad Rin where I'm staying. I've eaten everything on the menu. I've gotten too comfortable, I've gotten complacent. Life is good, but it's no longer interesting, fun, and exciting.
I came from a month in Up-State New York visiting family. Koh Pha Ngan gave me the change I was looking for. Before that, I was traveling Central and South America for almost three years. I'm now excited to say, I'm heading back to Bangkok for a night where I will then be flying to Vientiane, the Capitol of Laos. I'll be spending a month doing some more exciting adventure traveling through the country. I'm now rested, feeling great, and looking forward to seeing new places and experiencing new things and sharing them with you!
Have you ever felt it's time to move on?
