Thailand Holiday =)

Recently came back from a holiday in thailand and it was WONDERFUL! =) We went to both Pattaya and Bangkok in the last 5 days (13th dec - 17th dec). It was my first trip to thailand with my friends, nix, chris n caren. =) Fun Fun FUN!!!!

Day 1

On the night itself, nix n chris gamed through the night and i was just tossing around the bed trying to sleep. hahh and i slept barely 4 hours before i had to wake up to prepare. We went to Changi Budget Terminal at 430am as our flight was at 630am. Slept on the flight, which was surprisingly smooth even though it was a budget flight. =)

Upon arrival in the bangkok airport, we took a government bus to pattaya which only costed us 5 dollars each! =) It was surprsingly cheap and good service on the bus too. However, we weren't so lucky in the city. Had to walk quite a bit of distance with our luggages before we could get on a lorry-like taxi and we got fleeced! Had to pay 40baht each to get to the hotel even though it costs about 20baht per trip. The hotel was VERY PRETTY, even though we had to book 2 rooms in the end, the room was big and pretty! Service was good, with a pretty pool on the top of the hotel and good breakfast. *yumm*

We went to Ripley's believe it or not and it was funn! Got scared like crazy in the haunted house, and had lots of fun in the mirror maze!

Pic 1: his eyes were following us everywhere.... and we thought he was fake! but he is a real personnn.. AHH!



Pic 2: Our first stop! the four of us at Ripley's!

After Ripley's, we just went for a walk along the Walking street and noticed alot of bars, pubs, etc. Now i know why pattaya is so infamous. lots of ang mohs walking around, most of them being single guys. hahh i guess you should know what i mean. Had dinner in one of the seafood restaurants and i guess the food is not too bad!

Day 2

Woke up early in the morning to get ready for some wacky watersports! Took the ferry to Kolan island which was wonderfully pretty, except that the beach was sorta destroyed by the overwhelming numbers of umbrellas on the sand. sad to see that sight but nevertheless, we had fun! Took the banana boat, in which we were flipped at least 3 times into the really salty water! and played Jet skii which was very fun too! heex was riding against the waves which ended up leaving bad scratches on my knees. *sobs* Then caren and chris went parasailing while me n nix sat on the boat that sent them up the sky! heex funnn...

Pic 4: The pretty beach of Ko Lan Island. can see how blueeeeee the water is?

Pic 5: me n nix on the pretty jet skii.. =)

Pic 6: Parasailing. I think that was caren who was in the water. hahahx

After the watersports, we had lunch and headed back to hotel for a nice afternoon in the pool area. Went to the beach road for dinner and some minimum shopping before we ended our night by drinking and playing mini mahjong in the hotel room. =)

Day 3 and 4
Went to bangkok early in the morning, and had pretty tough time trying to locate our hotel. It wasn't a very nice hotel, but was okay for us to stay in. Went for shopping straight away in MBK center and had a nice jap lunch. =) Then went off to Platinum to do more shopping =) Spent the next day shopping as well, in both platinum and Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Hahhax i wun talk more about the shopping but we definitely got ourselves quite a bit of stuff. =)
