I’ve been wanting to come to this place for years and was SO STOKED to finally be able to arrive and explore this place. It was a bit of a let down because most national parks in China are extremely developed in stark contrast with the way to US Parks are run.

Asia Trip 009 - Koh Phangan, Thailand - 001
I wanted to find work in Thailand to extend my stay.
