Inspiration. Travel. Life.
We arrived into Hanoi via a propeller plane from Chiang Mai; a mode of transport that I can’t honestly list within my top five favourites but one that gets an honourable mention for transporting us quickly, safely, punctually and providing us with food.

Calm emerald waters and warm misty skies that are interrupted only by protrusions of limescale formations and jungle-clad islands adorning the horizon. A place of tranquillity and hidden scenic gems interspersed with well-trodden tourist trails and tourists travelling from near and far. Welcome to Ha Long Bay – A UNESCO heritage site steeped in history …
From the tranquil islands of the south to the tropical urban jungle of the north, Chiang Mai was our final stop in our journey around Thailand and again showed exactly how diverse a destination this sprawling country can be. Another budget airline flight saw us land right in the centre of Chiang Mai. The airport …

Private pools in the midst of the forest, contemporary rooms and unspoiled views as far as the eye can see are just some of the immediate draws to The Payogan Villa Resort And Spa. A luxury stay in your own slice of paradise. Welcome to the jungle.
This summer we made a decision. A spontaneous decision to visit one of my most longed for destinations half the world away.
