Wonderland

Just returned from a relaxing holiday in Bangkok. This time we stayed at the Banyan Tree hotel as we purchased a package that includes 2 sets of 90 minute spa session & body scrub for 2 days, plus free drink for 2 persons at the rooftop bar at a price of below HKD 5000! Oh, did I mention that price is inclusive for the returning flight too!

Since we arrived around evening, we decided to start our spa journey on the second day. Once we settled ourselves at the concierge, we were served with ginger hot tea and presented a body scrub and spa menu. Mother picked the Apple and green tea body scrub and Balinese massage for a more soothing enjoyment, while I picked the Romance salt body scrub and Sport massage for deep cleansing and muscle relaxation. When our therapists requested we pick a scent for the oil among peppermint, rose, and lavendar I asked for rose, my usual favourite..then I found out it wasn't for my body massage but placed underneath my bed for breathing in! Haha, what an embarrassing moment to think I know it all. Fruits and tea are served after the exotic treatment..hmm

After the massage, mom and I took a journey to the Banyan Tree gallery for some souvenirs. There I found these cute little elephants, the important symbol of Thailand, strongest beast of burden, used in Battles in the past. The adorable durian elephant was best of all, the pink elephants printed with hearts were special edition for Valentines day. The Thai event created teapots out of shapes of elephant!

Thought it'd be great to share with you ways to wrap around your body during holiday too! I watched a video on youtube before on how Hawaiians wear a sarong and loved it when I was in Thailand :)
