Yesterday was Toi's birthday and some hungry monks were holding the meditation. They even threw water on us, it felt a little bit like salvation to be honest and for some reason something was released inside me and expressed itself in a tear from each of my eyes. This fasting, cleansing and detoxification process works for the mind and soul as well for the physical body. Anyway, I've never seen anything like Toi's birthday party, Toi is by the way Guy's wife, the owner of this spa and 2 more. In one day, as by magic they made beautiful flower bouquets, the 9 monks above came to bless the whole thing and to eat of course, they made a HUGE stage down at the beach (which in the morning also magically disappeared again...) where ladyboys from Chaweng put on a show together with a bunch of other entertainers. There were probably 500 people here and everything was for free, all kinds of delicious thai dishes and fruits, beer, whiskey whatever you could ask for..The local police was here also in uniforms drinking at a special police table :) I highly recommend anybody who is thinking about visiting this place to book a bungalow well in advance (at least 6 months) at Toi's birthday which is 17.February, before you start the fasting program. Since I was fasting I could only look at all that delicious food. I was tired too so I went to bed early and were awoken every 5 minutes by the high bass that made my bungalow shake and my heart to jump in my chest. Surprisingly they stopped the music around 02.00 in the morning.
