Plan a trip to Pak Chong the weekend of the Aug 29 for the two-day Organic 101 Workshop hosted by the Pakchong Slow Life group. Here, you'll be taught how to make your own organic everyday products ranging from soap bars and lip balm to massage and hair oils.

You will also be coached on holistic hygeine methods, such as oil pulling, an ancient Indian method of teeth cleaning and whitening that is said to also eliminate oral bacterial residue. 

The workshop will be held at Santosha Health and Lifestyle Resort, and prices start at B5,200, inclusive of room and meals. There are limited spots, which can be reserved through their Facebook (ow.ly/QYFYg) or by calling 080-974-0007 or 085-479-5953.
