Ao Nang, Thailand
This photo was taken on a tiny beach in the southern Thai area of Ao Nang, near Krabi town. You can see the boats moving with the waves as their owners are behind me taking a break from work to enjoy a nice meal. During the day, they act as flat-fee taxis, bringing people from one tiny beach to another upon request. It doesn’t pay well, but if you can pack people onto your longboat, you could earn probably $20 usd a day.
That is what life in southern Thailand is like: slow and poor. You make all your money when the tourists come around, and survive on that until the next season. They don’t show signs of weariness, as their work isn’t so hard or complicated. I think they might just enjoy that kind of life.

Ao Nang, Thailand
Thailand is known for having beautiful beaches with clear, bright blue waters. I took this photo when I was staying in Ao Nang in the south, near Krabi Town. I lost myself in the amazing shades the sunset produced as it got later in the evening. Standing there, I reflected on the hardships I endured getting to that point, and what I appreciated about the area. It seemed like a resort a celebrity would go to, far away from the fast pace of life that makes one go mad and seek nature to ease the mind and soul.
