Morning light breaks over the Gulf of Thailand as an air‑conditioned minivan threads out of Dương Đông, delivering a small group across coastal roads toward the island’s quieter southern shore. Salt-scented wind teases the palms and the sea below dares you to look away; by midmorning the route shifts from village lanes to powdery sand at Sao Beach, where shallow water and soft white sand invite a pause.
