The embodiment of a simple life

I got this really good friend in Phuket Island ..

Don was a Bob Marley reincarnation , lives his life like a real rastafarian 

He owns this bar up the hills , far from the loud music , drunken tourists and people who think they can own anything by flashing the dollars

A picture of Don and his wife .. great people I met back in the days

The place is called the Bob Marley bar ..

Picture of me from the hill opposite the bar .. You can tell this is an old photo from the length of me hair

Good times with Don

Don's friends who come in everyday after a day or hard work

Having a good time playing pool

Do you not sometimes wish .. you were like water ?! Just flow free ..

Sometimes this simple life has more meaning than our greed filled minds

Ponder !

Me and Don sitting by a small fire inside the bar

Don : So , how are you today Pavin ..

Pavin : I am good bru , just nice to be out here away from the centre , chillin with you

Don proceeds to play some Bob Marley music and we have a smoke together ..

An hour later .. a group of 6 tourists walk into the bar 

( typical drunk tourists )

Tourists : Yo man , nice cafe .. we want some beer and smoke ! You got some smokes ?

Don : Thank you , but we are closed for today and no , I am not a drug dealer but have a nice day guys

Don walks back to me ..

Don : You know Pavin , I built this entire bar using recycled things from garbage bins etc . I built this place with passion and with my bare hands . I am happy to sell 2 bottles of beer and have a good time with my customers as this 2 beers can get me through another day .. I can buy my food tomorrow . That is enough for me .. I am not into making lotsa money , money makes you change , money makes you greedy

Pavin : Yeah man , I feel you

A hill grown .. the real thing

But this literally took me aback , the line he told me was striking back at me time and time again . In the 21st century , where people would stab and kill to make money or simply be on the top . There still are nice people .. Where is this materialistic plastic world taking me really ?!

Every experience with Don has been an eye opener .. deep conversations and very flashing images
Spaced out ..

I felt like I was walking back into a place where I actually wanted reinstate myself

It was something I carry with me till today ..

Some thoughts , some words .. some memories , some experience

Don's children practising the real Love , Peace and Harmony

We can't learn from this can we ?!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh !
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfil de book

Been back to meet my brother Don everytime I was in Thailand even if it was for just a cup of iced tea

I took only those who were close to me , those who would feel the need for a change, who would take a moment to think and to those who would get in one with the nature

One of my brothers who flew with me to Thailand on the last trip

Pavin : Machi , it is getting late .. I think we should head down town . I am stoned man , we got two scooters to ride down this hill

Darren : Machi , chill 'lah .. LEPAK , COOL , LET GO ah' machi ...

Mind you Darren is a person who comes up with very catchy phrases that often becomes a trend and this is exactly what happened :)

We then laughed hysterically .. I dunno why !

Thanks Don and company for always being a family for me whenever I am there

Can't wait to be there again in near future :) Love you man

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom ?

Cause all I ever have

Redemption songs

• The Location of this bar has been kept a secret for many valid reasons 

• The cat that was pictures drinking milk from the dog in this bar has then died whilst crossing the road in 2007 . Rest in peace !
