Abstract
A true story in every step and every breath by Pramuan Pengchan, a Ph.D. graduate philosophy who resigned as a university lecture in his 50's and was determined to walk : from Chaing Mai to his hometown on Samui Island, Suratthani with the intention of not taking money with him, not walking to people he knew, not begging for food - only accepting food from people who were willing to offer, determined not to bother people or other living things, and not sticking to timetable and not fixed course.
