After hours, I switched off the computer and left my cubicle. When I looked out the office's window, I saw high-rise buildings and winding motorways. Cars were stuck in a traffic jam day in, day out. It dawned on me that something was missing in life. I did not know what it was, but I would like to sort out my mind. A few days later, I took a break and left the city for a tranquil retreat.
I once went to Hua Hin with college friends. Years went by, but memories of our laughter that night in this peaceful beachside town remain indelible. Just a three-hour drive from Bangkok, I arrived at a wellness resort in the late morning. Located on a 17 rai piece of beachfront land, Chiva-Som lives up to its name, which literally translates as "haven of life".
