This week we’re in Rayong. A place we’ve driven past many times and finally decided to stop for. And we're so glad we did!

Slow mornings, mountain views, and rice field panorama's. Chiang Dao is a hidden treasure in Thailand that most never visit.

This week was about recharging, sunshine and time on the water. We spent one perfect day swimming and sailing the Andaman Sea.
