As you stroll around the grounds at Gecko Villa, keep an eye open for the brown, fat, cucumber-shaped fruit of the climbing loofah vine. If you pick one of these, then crack it open and peel back the dry, woody skin, you will quite readily be able to extract the internal sponge - a natural, sustainable, eco-friendly garden spa product! Hold it upright to shake out the seeds to encourage further growth, then use the loofah in the shower or bathroom, or in the kitchen. As a natural sponge, when soaked in water and frothed up with soap, the loofah from the garden and grounds of Gecko Villa acts as a perfect exfoliant. If you'd like to take one home, soak it, flatten it and dry it in the sun. When you get back home after your holiday in Thailand, simply quench the sponge's memory with a good soak in water, and it will puff back up to its original shape. These fruit are in fact edible when harvested early in the season when they are still green, and you may here them referred to as Chinese Okra.
