Sailing Thailand. Paradise Found, Then Our Generator Quit
After a great couple of nights in Hua Hin, we continued sailing south through the Gulf of Thailand. The first day couldn’t have gone much better—we found a quiet village, went ashore for dinner, and gave the dogs some time to explore.
But the next morning, things started going wrong.
Our generator developed problems, which meant we could no longer recharge the boat’s batteries as they continued to drain. We had to change course and find somewhere calm and protected where we could troubleshoot the electrical system.
Fortunately, the bay we pulled into turned out to be one of the most beautiful places we’ve found in Thailand. It was absolute paradise—but even in paradise, the boat still needed to be fixed.
This is the reality of cruising: incredible destinations, unexpected problems, and constantly adapting when things don’t go according to plan.

We Found the WEIRDEST Place in Thailand!
Our boat is broken… again. So while we wait for repairs, we grab an Airbnb on Koh Samui, rent a motorbike, and set out to explore the island.

They’re Making Me Leave Thailand
Our time cruising Thailand takes another unexpected turn. Before leaving the boat, Nika decides to enjoy one last swim off the back — and apparently swimsuits are optional.
