We have been staying at the X2 Resort in the island of Koh Samui in Thailand.
It’s part of Design Hotels and is an orgie of huge palm trees, wooden elements and lots of sweet concrete.
For me it brings back memories of Brazil. The arcitecture mixed with nature.
Here are some details that I really enjoy.
Tomorrow I think I will show you the bigger picture.

Detail from the shower which has a backlite- it creates a dramatic effect I think is stuning!

Imagine a house without windows or doors - just open space.
Growing up in Sweden that’s unthinkable.
I love the way that the legs of the tables in the restaurant bend in different ways.

Concrete jungle!

The curtains are all made of heavy linen. And about 30 cm to long. Loving it!

Even if the power is cut you can do it in style.

Sitting on the lo watching the bamboo garden. I wanna do this in the country place in Sweden.
No magazines are needed with a great view.

Around the pool there is a normal plastic drainage. Just smartly covered up with stones.

As if the pool wasn’t enough. A bath in plain air. And the vivid art the moist makes in the concrete.

It’s nice to stay at a place a bit more minimalistic than what I normally enjoy at home.

When I am abroad I love walking the aisles of supermarkets and just look
at all the normal stuff looking so un-normal.
Like I am in some weird dream, a parallel universe.
With different smells and different words for stuff I see and eat everyday.
Here in Thailand I have been going to Tesco Lotus a lot.
They have everything.
Just have a look!

The princess shoes from hell. Prints, high heels and candy inside the heel…

The cutest lollipops ever!

Printomania!

My favourite aisle have to be for the monks. Things to give to them, to pray, incence.
And all kinds of kits, Monk - cleaning kit, Monk- first aid kit, Monk- allround kit.
and even a Monk- Starting kit!

Then you have to go to Design Sponge for our last guest blog post.

We have been having blizzards and snow up to our ears in Sweden.
It was just too much and we needed some time to bond our new family.
So we decided to run from it all and take 2 months in Thailand!

I thought I am going to show you some great hotels and other stuff I find while I am here.
Let’s start with the infinity pool at our first hotell.
Just to lighten up!

We are guests at the fab blog Design Sponge this week. Thank you Grace for having us. Go there to see more.
