Adventure into Thailand Photo Writing Prompts

By Kristi Tencarre

Writing Prompt 2:

Phi Phi Island was ravaged by the 2004 Tsunami. The shape of the island funneled the wave wall so that it was taller here than when it hit other areas of Thailand, like Phuket. One can still see the damage to the palm trees despite the fact that buildings have been restored and boats float idyllically in the bay. I traveled there two years after the Tsunami and saw the resilience of the locals as well as their continued entrepreneurial efforts.

Island paradise or reminder of the past? Tranquility in warm air and water, white sand beaches and soft blue sea or hazardous island where you bide your time before you are in life-threatening danger? Time to live in the present or the past?

Is anywhere in the world safe? With the threat of earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, floods and melting ice caps, is there anywhere worth traveling? Is there anywhere worth settling?

It is healthy to grieve the past, yet not to be defined by it. Is there anything in your life that needs grieving so that you can move on and truly live your life?
