It took us a while to find our piece of paradise in Thailand. With the images of Thailand white-sand beaches in all travel magazines it is not easy to find a tourist-free island which matches the idyllic beauty of postcards you have in mind. A good few hours of Internet research and our friends’ recommendationContinue reading “Piece of Paradise”

From Ayutthaya, the old Thai capital, we took a train to Pak Chong, a provincial sleepy Thai town in centralContinue reading “Touching the Nature”
