Chaloklum: The Village Of No Last Names

Like John Wesley Powell's expedition down the Colorado River and passage through the Grand Canyon, or Lewis and Clark's searching out a tributary to the Missouri River and finding what is now known as Yellowstone National Park, it's not unusual for modern-day travelers to seek out or stumble across a unique and special setting that leaves them with everlasting memories. Like these famous men exploring the North American Continent, regular people can explore the world and, on occasion, find themselves surrounded by an uncommon beauty and peacefulness. A beautiful setting with glorious jungle-laden hills, cascading streams and waterfalls, encircled by crystal-clear waters filled with vibrant sea life, Chaloklum fulfilled Patrick Ashtre's need to be surrounded by nature. This small community broke all the rules and preconceived notions about finding a comfortable place whose streets, alleyways, and paths were populated by like-minded individuals. Its natural beauty balancing perfectly with his need for companionship, the small village of Chaloklum taught him more in a few short years about who he really was than a lifetime of exciting, wondrous sites and experiences.Chaloklum, the Village of No Last Names, is a saga about taking a chance and chronicles the changes we all see taking place in our surroundings. It's a love story and a tale of how one can't help but be influenced by Buddhism, whether you're a follower or not, while living in its cradle. It's an account of finding a home that came in the form of a fishing village on an island in the Gulf of Thailand.
