Pattaya July 2009

Its another Thailand trip. My 3rd trip to Thailand in less than 2 years time.
Organized this trip coz daddy claimed that its been a long long time since he last visited Thailand plus air ticket was cheap!

4am, step out of the house to get a cab to airport. Had Mc D for breakfast! Happy meal for me.. the rest was like.. Duh.. when i start playing with the toys, check in, do nothing, walk here walk there.. In the end me and uncle george settle ourselves by enjoying a leg massage using the OTO leg massager at the waiting area.

Finally its time for us to board the plane. Get my beauty sleep and soon we are in Suvarnabhumi airport. Hmm.. tis time i dun feel tat excited.
Wander around looking for bus to PAttaya. Was hounded by some taxi driver who offered to send us to Pattaya at 800 baht after seeing us not keen with their offer. They reduced the price from 1200 baht to 800 baht automatically.

Finally, we found the ticket place. It is located at Level 1 near to Gate 8. A one way ticket cost only 124baht and the journey take 2 hours.

Bus is pretty comfy with ample leg space, even for Uncle George.

We decided to walk to our hotel from the main road. Long walk indeed. But we see see look look along the way so it is not that bad. WE stopped by a stall for lunch. Chicken rice, braised pork and stewed soup!! Yum Yum... the meal cost 100++baht for 4 of us!

WE walk n walk,lotsa dentist along the way!!! how come??

Finally we reach Areca Lodge. Pretty nice lobby, I love the cafe

The Cafe

Some weird petrol pump stuffed in between buildings!

After checking in, we faster get changed and head the beach. Passed by this tourist Service Centre which does not offer much help. Most of the brochures there are in Thai and Korean, very helpful indeed. The crabby looks cute though.

Then i saw this speed boat with the name 'Kwan Chai'. Sounded like coffin in mandarin.

After walking around, we took a speedboat to the place for para-sailing. We bargain the price from 500 baht to 300 baht for a return trip.

That's Uncle George in the air

Only Uncle George got his 'flying' picture taken... nobody help the rest of us take picture coz the whole process was juz too fast.. It was nice flying high.. I would love to do that again... DAddy is so fortunate... he got to go around 3 rounds while me n pq only 1 round! isshh...

After para-sailing, we decided to immersed ourselves in the water as the weather is too hot. Saw the local there used a dead fish as bait to lure the sea worm out.. Very interesting indeed but no pics.. (I am very lazy to take pix)

The 3 siao-kia in the water

Around 4pm, we head back for our shower and go hunting for seafood. Could not find a good restaurant and anyhow settled on one as we are in a hurry for our Tiffany's Caberet Show. Dare not order their seafood as the fish in the tank were dying. We ordered cocktails that taste weird... The food is not nice either..

On the way back to hotel we saw lotsa cocktail minivan like this

The minibus come pick us up to the Tiffany's Show

ticket office(Deluxe tics 700 baht, VIP 800 baht)

the lady-boys. 1 of them looks like a Singapore blogger... pretty indeed

posie-posy before entering the theater

Me n uncle George in the theater
the joker ah-gua of the day. Funny fella

The show was very entertaining... lotsa shinning shimmering costumes.. but i kept on picking on these lady-boys bruises... lotsa blue black...

After the show, we went to walking street. The driver seems to ignore our request at first but he still drive there.. and it was very jam. He seems very unhappy but his face was all smile when we give him a 50baht tips...

Along the walking street is numerous pubs, restaurant, go-go bars and people like him.

We walked all the way to Pattaya 2nd Road. Bought banana prata there. Nice nice.. Tat fella who made the prata got 'tie sha zhang'. He can cook using his hand while his hand is not cooked! Then we came across this cart full with bears!! muz be heavy!

The next day, we had our breakfast and finally ride on the song-theaw to Pattaya North Road bus station.


Off to Bangkok!
