America’s Next Top Model off to Phuket
June 17, 2009

The final four contestants in e.tv’s popular new season of America’s Next Top Model will be in a tropical paradise in next week’s episode, at 9pm on Monday.

The contestants have to race to secure a spot in the final three when the show’s host, Tyra Banks, sends her protégés on go-sees in the congested streets of Bangkok.

The aspiring models’ mode of transportation is a “tuk-tuk” and they need to visit four local designers in the allocated time.

Next, the finalists travel to the tsunami-ravaged island of Phuket, where Banks holds a minute of silence for all the people that lost their lives.

Judge Nigel Barker directs the photo shoot as the finalists then pose in swimsuits for Elle Girl magazine.

Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket ranked in SpaFinder’s top ten mother-and-daughter spas

(Forimmediaterelease.net) Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket, the group’s first total-wellness retreat located on the tiny island of Naka just five minutes offshore from Phuket, was the only resort in Asia to be selected in the recently-released Top Ten List of SpaFinder’s Mother-and-Daughter Spas. This raises the question as to what makes Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket the utopian place in which all senses are united and body, soul, and spirit recharged a “Mother-and-Daughter” favorite?

Since its opening in November 2008, Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket, has seen mothers and daughters traveling from countries as far away as Monaco, Spain, Germany, Dubai, South Africa, and the United States, often to reunite. However, it is more than reunification… it is the opportunity to escape the stresses of urban life and noise and air pollution as they are whisked away from Phuket on a luxury speedboat to a private island providing a cocoon of wellness, tranquillity, and peace. This is supported by the total absence of intrusive noise, as guests are requested to only use mobile phones in the privacy of their villas.
