Spectator Sport: Cabana Beach, Chumphon





   The small road striped between the beach and hotels. Booths and seafood restaurant set beside the road. The smell of the salty water, freshness, and seafood from the side of the seashore arose in the air. People are buying things and walking along the shore with big smiles on each of their face.
   A white land of sands fills with beautiful shinny shells and kids running around. The white and soft sand that when we step on, we can feel how smooth it is. The sound of the waves that lash to the shore, the sound of nature, what a wonderful thing. The bright sun shone above the clear water. Seeing through the water, there’s rocks and smooth sand. It is so clear that we can even see the bottom the sea. The seashore went on and on, as far as I could see. It was filled with foreigners and hardworking natives. The hermit crab walked across the white sand to flee away from the people walking around. Umbrellas opened and putted parallel to the beach. Plenty of seat for relaxing and sunbathe. During certain spot, there is a banana boat for playing and entertaining the tourist. The young kids and teenagers who rode on it burst out with smiles and laughter.
   On the other side of the shore was a huge group of mountains with a temple on one of the peak and a wonderful nature. When the hot sun flashed on the holy temple, the aura of peace and calm spread all over.
   Looking toward the sea, there is a beautiful island. There is an island, an island of natural resources and bird’s nest, the island of gold.
   My eyes focus on a young boy who walked along the seashores. He looked perfectly handsome just like a model from one of the magazine. His white-blue shirt blew along with the soft wind, his hazelnut-colored eyes scientillate when it hits the sun, and his pinkish-orange lip seems unbelievable that it is a boy’s lip. As he walked, his slipper sank into the wet sand. His emotion that he showed makes me stare at him. He looked sedate and calm just like the sea behind him. His mouth moved. I try to read his lips, but it was too far to see. I looked the other way to focus more on him, and I realized that he has disappeared.
