Passage 12　(2017·湖北)

　　话

　　词数：424

　　You’ve flown halfway around the world；youve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.

　　It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.

　　Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand.Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.

　　Theres an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It’s what this place offers，and its free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.

　　It’s early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what youd like to eat this evening.Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order.No menu here.

　　There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.Theres no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.
