When I started working at Coromandel Outdoor Language Centre in 1990, I knew very little about Saudi Arabia, except that it had a lot of oil and a lot of sand.

Continuing on from Part 1 in which I discussed non-judgement of Thai working girls, I did judge another girl around the hotel pool one day, but she wasn’t Thai.

In 1973, due to civil and religious unrest, travellers were advised to avoid areas of southern Thailand, so my travel buddy Nigel and I decided to head for Koh Samui Island.

Let’s face it – winter on the Coromandel can be brutal for skin. Salty winds, indoor heating, chilly mornings and (believe it or not) those sneaky UV rays all lead to one thing: a thirsty, stressed-out skin barrier.
