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 sail into Ao Hat Yuan on Koh Phangan, one of the most beautiful bays I’ve ever visited. With no road access, the beach is only reachable by boat, and somehow we had the entire anchorage to ourselves.

We’re Running Out of Diesel… And There’s None on the Island
We’re anchored off Koh Phangan, Thailand, but before we can continue our trip we have a problem—we’re getting pretty low on diesel. There are no traditional fuel docks on the island, so we head ashore and visit a few marinas hoping to find someone who can help us fill up. After striking out everywh...
