Mark Thompson READ TIME: 2 MIN.
BANGKOK, Thailand - To celebrate National Papaya Month this September, select Starwood Hotels & Resorts in Thailand will feature exclusive experiences in honor of this delicious fruit.
Properties including Le M�ridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa, The St. Regis Bangkok and Aloft Bangkok - Sukhumvit 11 have created special spa treatments or cocktail recipes incorporating papaya, a fruit that is not only incredibly tasty but also contains many nutritional and medicinal properties.
In honor of National Papaya Month, the property will spotlight a special "60-Minute Sea Salt Papaya Scrub" featuring papain, a key ingredient in papaya promoting skin renewal and cell turnover.
Papain exfoliates the skin to reveal glowing, softened skin. Vitamin A, E, C and anti-oxidants are added to the scrub which moisturize the skin, clear dirt and help remove dark spots. Additionally, papaya facial scrubs and face masks are available to tend to acne, sunburn and aging skin.
Le M�ridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa invites you to see the world through new eyes when you discover the true sense of relaxation at Le SPA. The property's spa facility offers world-class luxury with a customized menu of rejuvenating experiences that combine ancient and contemporary cultural methods and ingredients to revitalize the mind, body and spirit.
This destination resort goes beyond the traditional five-star hotel experience and invites guests to discover more than just a new destination - to experience a new perspective with a focus on contemporary art and cuisine. The resort is an idyllic enclave on exclusive Lamai Beach.
Inspired by Koh Samui's timeless beauty and diverse cultural influences, Le M�ridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa features an intimate selection of 77 refined suites and villas designed with feng shui principles in mind.
