We went back to Racha Island because we were working on a very complex project and needed absolute concentration. We wanted to get away from everything and focus on our work. Racha Island was perfect for us: a tropical island with absolutely nothing to distract us but the beautiful blue sea, a white sandy beach, a fantastic sunset and some great food by our hotel.
