Friday night (24 November 2006), I jetted out on Bangkok airways to Koh Samui on the east coast of Thailand. After making my way to Matlang resort, situated on the Northern part of Chaweng Beach, I was rather chuffed to be shown to my own little rustic, beach front bungalow. Sea view, aircon, stepping onto the beach from your front door - all for only 1000 Baht a night (15 GBP). Not bad.The next morning I found my 'possi' on the beach and settled in for a day of my book on the beach, interspersed with dips in the sea to cool off. Blissful. Late Saturday afternoon after my day on the beach, I headed along to the Samui Institute of Thai Culinary Arts, where I tried my hand at making a traditional 'red hot' curry paste and a few different versions of the curries in an afternoon cookery course. At the end, our group sat down with a few bottles of wine and demolished everything we'd made. Scrumptious stuff, I tell you.
The next morning dawned bright and early and I headed along the beach for an early morning walk, long before the revellers from the night before had arisen. Nice to have to place virtually to one's self.
After breakfast, I headed to Kandaburi spa for my final taste of Thai massage, along with a few other spa treatments that I just could not resist. Amazing how such simple things can make you feel so amazing. I have always said that I was a women with simplified tastes..
