Fairyland in gold




Ginkgo extracts is believed to help your mental concentration and even memory.

During fall, the color of Ginkgo is such a bright yellow it catches your eye from a great distance. It can be seen for miles against a backdrop of pines. When in fall color, people stop and take pictures of their kids under the tree. The yellow leaves fall quickly and cleanly, making a carpet of gold that is a picture in itself. The bark is also a handsome feature.

Exotic Moroccan resort in the Gulf of Thailand















A truly unique experience.
















    Each lavish Villa enjoys a panoramic view of the Gulf of Thailand and a private infinity pool for individual indulgence. Direct access to the beach can be reached via a waterside courtyard from which life can be savoured.









    While the spacious bedroom is located on the second floor, it also houses a private spa space at the ground floor which provides the most intimate place to enjoy an invigorating Thai massage or any number of spa treatments to your choosing.







In keeping with the unique Moroccan décor, authentic motifs enhance the décor with much use made of the natural light and open air terraces.







The deck on the third floor is the perfect place to organise a private BBQ, and soak up the sun.






The tale of strawberries

Can you match the pictures to their respective countries of produce?




Australia - I went all the way to a farm to find the fun of strawberring picking but in vain ... so my journey continued...












Malaysia - Strawberries are planted using the hydro phonic system. This method uses the technique of mixing mineral nutrients and does not indirectly use soil. Enterpreneur Moon has been selling strawberry ice popsicles at the night market. The homemade strawberries blended ice popsicles have received good response from both locals and tourists. You must not miss it while you are in Cameron Highlands.








Thailand - apparently, the King funded the villages in the north of Thailand to grow strawberries in an effort to eradicated opium-producing poppy farming.
