The ForgottenPeople


The title sounds like it should be frightfully meaningful in the grand scheme of things.. but ultimately it's not. I think it matters in the here and now but in the long term probably not. Koh Phi Phi has a massive community of westerners, many of whom are around for the high season (roughly October - April) forming relatively close knit groups for a bunch of strangers that are randomly thrown together. Then they leave. And they are never spoken about again. Unless they are coming back. Pretty much. It seems a shame that people can be so caught up in their own little groove on such a superficial level that nothing else matters to them apart from what's happening and with who right now. Oh well. Left actually having grown rather fond of the place really and made some wonderful friends. And the diving is awesome. Maybe I just don’t like being forgotten so easily!
