Morning Musings on Maenam The tide whispers secrets this morning, rolling in like an old friend with stories tucked between its waves. My coffee black as Bukowski’s mood, strong as his prose sits halfdrunk beside me. Achara’s fishing boat is already cutting through the morning mist, a silhouette dancing between sea and sky.
Another morning on Maenam Beach. The tide’s whispering its usual secrets, and I’m here Richard Doherty, 64, more at home in this Thai paradise than I ever was in my old Dublin suburb. *looks out at the ocean, a Bukowski paperback dogeared beside me*
The morning hangs heavy with salt and possibility here on Maenam Beach. My coffee black as Bukowski’s mood, strong as the memories that drift like weathered fishing nets across my consciousness. Achara’s grandson just delivered fresh prawns, caught just before sunrise. These aren’t just seafood; they’re living poetry, each crustacean a verse written by the Gulf of Thailand. The way they glisten, man it’s like they’re still dreaming of deeper waters.
The morning light here is different from anywhere else I’ve known. It doesn’t creep in it explodes, like someone’s torn open a golden watercolor across the sky. My coffee sits beside me, strong enough to wake the sleeping spirits of this island.
I’ve just finished my morning coffee strong, black, with a hint of local palm sugar that whispers stories of tropical mornings. Bukowski would’ve loved this view, I think. Not the romantic postcard perfection, but the raw, unfiltered beauty of a place that doesn’t try to impress anyone.
Another morning on Maenam Beach. The tide’s whispering those familiar stories again the ones Bukowski would’ve loved if he’d ever made it out to this slice of Thai paradise. My notebook’s open, pages slightly damp from the morning humidity, and the local fishermen are already hauling in their catch.

Another morning in paradise, eh? The tide’s whispering its secrets, and the fishing boats are dancing on the horizon like old friends reuniting. Been here on Koh Samui for years now, and every sunrise still feels like the first one.
Just finished a breakfast of grilled mackerel from old Somchai’s boat down the beach. The fish was so fresh it practically leaped onto my plate, still whispering tales of the Gulf of Thailand. These local fishermen they’re poets without pens, their stories told through the day’s catch.
