I wanted to go to Southern Thailand so I could visit the secret island in “The Beach” movie. Cliche, I know! but I’ve been craving to go there for the longest time. Like a lot of backpackers, it was one of the iconic movies that inspired me to travel.

In the Philippine Ilonggo dialect, ambot ah literally means "I don't know."
