Arriving to my bungalow…
Inside my bungalow |
My hammock & balcony |
View from my balcony & bed! |
Going to my office…
‘So happy you are back. I love your laugh. Good to see you.’ And waving her arms about with emphasis, ‘Welcome to Koh Phangan!’
Meeting Benny again…
He excitedly rushed from behind the counter, to give me big hug. He is a gentle, lovely, short, open faced young man who fled his country to send money back to his family at home, who live in poverty and poor health. There are many Burmese on this Thai island doing the same.

He exclaimed: ‘I’m so happy to see you. This is the best day, because I see you again!’, and a bit later, ’The sun came out today because of you!’ Benny, you are too kind.
We catch up on the state of his family, he was sad because his sister recently married so young at 18. And this has also meant the money that he was saving to help his parents with their very poor falling down shack of a home had to be spent on his sister. ‘But not to worry, I save again now, in two more years I can make their home a bit better’.

It certainly is good to be back!
