KOH SAMUI — LAMAI BEACH (EARLY 2000s)

Choke Bar · Pre-Separation Phase

Limited Edition Acrylic Wall Art

This work documents Lamai Beach, Koh Samui, during the early 2000s, at a time when relationships, environments, and trajectories were still forming.

The image is connected to Choke Bar, operated by an individual later associated with the Rise Club in Khao Lak (2004). This places the photograph firmly in the pre-Khao Lak period, likely 2002–2003, before the full breakaway from earlier UK connections and before later events unfolded.

At this stage, monitoring environments was a matter of awareness rather than reaction. This was not confrontation. It was observation — understanding who occupied which spaces, how social networks overlapped, and where pressures could emerge.

The Lamai beachfront has since changed completely. The original bars no longer exist, replaced by large hotel developments following redevelopment policies. What remains here is evidence of a vanished environment.

This work does not allege wrongdoing.
It documents proximity, timing, and place.

Within My Life, My Deaths, Their Plans Failed (2001–2025), this image belongs to the early Thailand phase, before the full separation from UK ties in 2005, and before later escalation elsewhere.
