Step 1
Start with the sunrise feeling

Before anything else,
imagine the morning.

The sky still navy.
The sea flat and silver, holding its breath.
The breeze soft, warm, and a little bit salty.
Then the horizon blushes,
slow, peachy, golden,
like it’s waking up just for you.

This is the mood you plan from.
Soft.
Simple.
Sunrise first,
everything else after.

Step 2
Travel from Bangkok to Koh Samet
