Today was a day devoted to pampering. We wanted to purchase some jewelry so we arranged a free ride to a jewelry establishment. We were met by young thin women in traditional dress offering a cold drink. We were then escorted into a workroom where we watched craftsmen grinding, polishing, and mounting precious stones and gems as well as others designing settings. Their hands were as steady as a surgeon's. I'm not certain how much the jewelry was discounted but the showroom was glistening and sparkling with gems, diamonds, gold, and silver! I purchased a white gold chain and some other smaller items at an adjacent room.
Then we were off for our manicures and pedicures. After what we had put our poor feet through, this was a most relaxing and welcomed pampering. Finally, we went to Health Land for a two hour traditional Thai massage (450 Baht or $15!) The three of us were in one room and wore Asian long pants and short sleeve tops. We each had our own masseuse and these women were strong as well as gentle. At one point I even fell asleep for about 10 minutes. So, we were now refreshed for a night on the town--The Sky Tower for drinks and dinner!
