I have a heavy heart today, as in less than twenty-four hours I’ll be saying goodbye to Koh Tao once again. My mind is clear and I know that it was the right decision to make this just a short stop on, rather than the final destination of, my five month trip, but my heart is tangled with a mess of complicated emotions.
Rather than looking back with nostalgia, I will try to look forward with excitement to the destinations ahead of me: Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Pai, Mae Hong Son… and where ever else the wind takes me!

The perfect place to unwind after a stressful day of beach-hopping.

The Queen’s Cabaret is Koh Tao’s fabulous lady boy show. Had to drop in for a visit.

And like last week, a little Muay Thai love. This time at training, rather than fight night.

One of my favorite trainers putting away hand wraps after a hard day of training.
Which photo is your favorite this week? Next time, I’ll be reporting from Chiang Rai!
