...Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror...
Khalil Gibran

The people are the real gems. A slight, delicate race, with clear skin and infinitely fragile features that almost make them seem like glass, like translucent noodles we’d had on the shores of Phuket. Their features were, again, like some masterful blend of Indian and oriental. Thais are a beautiful people, with ready, wide smiles that captivated the west and came to embody much of what is widely generalised as Asian hospitality. Their innocence and openness surprised us, especially since Thailand has been drawing in tourists from around the world ever since their beaches were ‘discovered.’ Most of the time, those seafronts were nothing but a blank canvas against which you could do pretty much anything you wanted.
