Day 1 of Trip to Rayong for the Kite Festival
This week I’m in Rayong, in Eastern Thailand, for the 1st Kite Festival. The drive down from Bangkok took just under three hours. I’m spending the first two nights on Saengchan Beach while the kite festival is going on. The following photos were tweeted live during day one.
