In Patong the only place not overrun with buildings is the beach itself, but even this is covered from tip to tip by reclining chairs for rent.

    Pairing pink and red

    Muse, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 02/02/2013

    » Beauty gurus have always advised to go either pink or red when it comes to make-up.

Pink and red are the perfect pair.
