Since I was a little girl, I was fascinated by secret hidden places. I loved the adventure. The mystery. The magic. And until today, not much has changed. So when I hear about a discovery tour on Tuba Island, a secluded isle barely touched by tourism, the news immediately strike a chord with me.
Only a few days later, I find myself on a longboat departing from the Marble Jetty. The trip takes only about fifteen minutes. And yet, there seems to be a gap of twenty, thirty years between the two islands. The few tiny roads lead through rubber plantations, besides paddy fields with grazing buffalos, and along a river covered by thousands of wild hyacinth. There are a few Malay villages, and a secluded settlement with simple shacks built of driftwood, rising on stilts from the sea to provide a shelter to Thai fishermen. But most of the island is still uninhabited, overgrown with a dense jungle.
