Day 11

I have discovered the most beautiful company that hand makes every spa and body product you can imagine. Chemical free, natural, using locally derived ingredients and never tested on animals,Lemongrass House is like a dream come true for me! I feel like a kid in a lolly shop and have to keep reminding myself of my luggage limits. I have noticed that the resort I am staying, Twin Palms, burns lemongrass essential oil everywhere so I stock up on that and also some lemongrass room spray and massage oil. I adore riding motorbikes when in Thailand and always take the opportunity to jump on and explore. Today it started to pour with rain so I pulled over and found a wonderful local restaurant in Saithong. Situated on the edge of the water it overlooks the bay and is really nothing fancy. A few plastic tables and chairs, an open kitchen and lots of people eating. I ordered som dam – a traditional salad of green papaya. I asked for mild chilli and thoroughly enjoyed the cold beer I needed to cool down! This is the fun of travelling, when you discover a hidden delight that leaves you withbeautiful memories.
