I’m getting very excited for my trip to Thailand -Land of Smiles- this Sunday. This is the 5th consecutive summer I’m going there, which comes from being born in July and a crab, you tend to cling on very tightly and have to be prized open to change direction. I don’t think Thailand could never wane for me. The exotic, mystical feel of the Far East is a million miles away from  life in London and  always jolts me out of complacency and changes my perspective. It might not have the sophstication and intellectual appeal of the world I move in here, but there’s an abiding sense of peace, spirituality, and vibrancy that envelops the whole country. I’m taking lots of not-so-cheap novels for the beach,  and a relatively flat stomach for my bikini which is bound to change with all the meals I’ve booked, and most of all I’m taking a huge sense of excitement and joy. Maybe I’ll have a revelation standing on the beach in the South watching the sea and sky change colour, sipping a Mohito, and getting ready for another spa. If you’re feeling resentful and rather twisted after reading this blog, just think Buddhist  and temples. It might help while you plan your own holiday.
