Our Thailand Story
My experience in Thailand taught me just how valuable sarongs are.
When I decided to start this business, I wanted to make sure that I sold only quality merchandise. I knew the quality of sarongs from Thailand and did a lot of research and bought samples form other areas. I wanted to start Fantasy Sarongs with high quality sarongs that would convert even the most skeptical person into a sarong lover.
I want to start at the beginning. I was working one night and a friend recommended that we get Thai food for dinner. I took my leftovers home to my husband. My husband and I were eating at the restaurant within a few days of him devouring my leftovers. Next thing I knew, my husband was booking a trip to Thailand so he could eat real authentic Thai food.
I learned the value of a simple bathing suit cover-up while traveling across Thailand. Sarongs are light weight so I always carried it in my backpack. I used my sarong as a simple bathing suit cover-up. However, I also used it as a towel, a sheet and even a blanket. However, I wore my sarong as a skirt so that I could enter Temples while visiting Chiang Mai. Then I wrapped my valuables in my sarong for the very long flight home.
The point is that sarongs are very versatile. I went from a person that did not care much about sarongs, to a person that LOVES sarongs. I have replaced many of my heavy terry cloth towels with the light smooth feeling sarong. This may sound crazy but the switch was fantastic. Sarongs feel great against the skin; they dry quickly and take very little closet room. I was even told about a girl who uses sarongs as curtains!
