    I loved this mountain, I worked with the local boys providing a Taxi service over it into town, quite exciting with 2 up and a Backpack hanging off the back.

    My private bike, how I loved to ride it, A big deal to have this bike back in 88 especially on Phan-Gan.

    I knew I was not far from home when I would see that little bit of blue poking its head up.

    Another couple of huts just up the beach. Jesus it was brilliant times. The first full moon party kicked off on Hadd-Rin in 88 but it could of been 6 million mile away. No twirlers on this bay in those days.

    This is the house of the original Farang that lived with his wife in this bay. He was a skilled carpenter and worked with the locals building huts and houses. He stayed well away from us farang, I was there for 3 months before he talked to me. He moved out in 89.

    The local fisherman would deliver their catch straight to the beach and the locals would gather to haggle over the catch. Seafood was always fresh in this bay. A nice example of a queen fish right here.

    This is an original pic of my very first time to this bay. I was with this Canadian dude I had met in Bangkok and we had just finished banging around North Thailand on motor bikes. This was 1987 so its 28 years old.

    This photo would have been around 1990 when they started using bigger Generators.
    Most things were bought in by boat. In the wet season it was the only way in as the mountain road was impassable.Tough shit if there was a medical emergency, one would just die. This is the reality of isolated spots, its all good until the shit hits the fan and you need a doctor right now.

    In 87 when I first ventured here there was no public phone, A Government Phone came in 88 though.

    From my bungalow was this view, the bay was hemmed in by the two head lands. I could see every boat that came and went.
