Thaiday

I just coined a new word its Thaiday in Thailand and every day is a Thaiday...meaning its a day of massage and resting and reading and swimming and walking and napping and eating and having fun in a blissed out sorta way.

I sooooo wish you were here, and now that I've paved the way I can so recommend people to come here to Faasai – the website doesn’t do it any justice.
Andrews recommendation was spot on PERFECT and Bronwen the resort creator/owner has been a wonderful host.
I woke at..who knows...early and went for a swim when it was sooooo quiet and still, and I just swam and floated peacefully and medatively for ages, uncaring of the time. When I got back to our room Lori was up and in conversation with Bronwen, and time just passed in new friendship, as we went on to have breakfast together.

I then got ready to give Bronwen a massage (seen here with gifts NZ Tui massage wax, Yellow finding50 flower and Yogananda book) and after her Lori. Lori hasn't had many massages, and cetainly not a Gayel one. Both girls loved it, and for me it wasn’t work.

We got to watch and help my therapist prepare fruits and herbs and leaves, salt, ginger and stuff for a “Royal Thai massage” which I'm having later..a 2 hour session. I've had a one hour Thai a massage every day cept one when she was fully booked….waaaahhhh.

Anyway, just chatting to you is a lot easier than trying to write for a blog, so I'm just gonna chat, more Gaylel-like of me!

Our days here are really so free flow. Our technology has been a challenge and I haven't been able to get videos or even photos up as easily as I'd hoped, but I have recorded so many clips and taken so many photos that it all can just wait til the perfect time. It may all just end up as a compilation video when I get home…who knows. Its also that I've mostly switched off to any ‘have to’ and and just being present…tuning into enjoying and capturing the moments of magic..of which there are so many.

The beach is just 5 minutes walk away and we enjoyed and captured a lovely sunset last night. The mornings are magical from our deck and we look out over fabulous greenery, all sorts of different trees, flowers, smells. There are lots of water features and special little places here, very feng shui’d, with Bronwen being an avid gardener and steward of the land.
We are starting to look at moving on tomorrow to our next location and new adventures.
