Exiled on Koh Phangan - Spectral Codex

With this set of photos I attempt to capture the feeling of exile I experienced while renting a bungalow outside of Thong Sala for a month. Koh Phangan is a party island but I spent much of my time in solitude not talking with anyone at all. It was a time to rest, to reflect, and to create.

Series: Thailand 2012

A series of posts chronicling my misadventures in Thailand in early 2012. Very incomplete, and probably never to be finished.
