Natasha Suri shares her experience in Thailand

It is almost a yearly ritual for model-turned-TV anchor Natasha Suri to jaunt off on a vacation with her close set of friends to celebrate New Year. “This time we thought of going to some place in Asia, so Thailand sprang up as the best option,” says Natasha, who was all the more thrilled since she had not been to the place before. It was a good, week-long vacation for Natasha who was there with eight of her close friends. “It was the first time that I visited Thailand, even though I had been planning to go there for the last so many years. Somehow it never happened. And you won’t believe this — I had to cancel my tickets to Thailand some five times!” she adds.

Natasha says that she had heard a lot about the body massages in Thailand and being a complete spa person, she couldn’t have resisted going for them. “My friends had sung such praises about them, and trust me, it’s all so worth the praises,” exclaims the model, who swears by the shell therapy and aroma therapy that she went for. “I am so super lazy, I love to laze around and get pampered in spas,” she laughs.

A complete shopaholic, Natasha couldn’t resist shopping in Thailand even though she feels that “Thailand ain’t as good a place to shop”. She says, “I’d any day prefer shopping in New York or London, but just the compulsive shopper in me led me to pick some dresses.” Natasha also loves to collect artifacts and she picked many of them as souvenirs. Since she had a lot of time in hand, she even decided to dedicate one day each to shopping, spa therapies, indulging in sporty activities and chilling by the beach side.

And guess what was the quirkiest thing she did. “I ate a snail,” she laughs. “Trust me, it wasn’t as bad as was the thought of it. But I wouldn’t put that in my mouth again!”
