The king is back to Pattaya, Thailand

Finally I'm back to Pattaya, Thailand again to finish the unfinished task! 

On 13 May, after work, headed straight to Changi airport to catch my flight at 9.30pm. After 2 hours flight, finally arrived into U-tapao airport at 10.30pm (Thailand is 1 Hr behind Singapore)! Cleared the immigration, took the cab and finally arrived at the hotel at midnight! 

After checking into D Varee Jomtien hotel, headed straight to Jomtien complex with motorbike to have a drink and supper to end the night. It was really crazy that rider has a helmet and I don't as a pillion! Only in Thailand :)


14 May - Woke up early and had a breakfast spread at the hotel! Then, took a taxi to sanctuary of truth. Did the elephant ride around the temple, tour the temple and a foot massage before we move on to floating market! Sanctuary of truth is a must visit as it presents all the wooden craft sculptures and the whole temple was beautifully crafted! 

Took a cab and headed to floating market. I love to go back to floating market to try all the street food again! Had beef pho, pork satay, crocodile satay, Thai ice tea, pork ribs...yummy! We spent an hour wandering around the floating market! They have everything from apparel to gifts, to household products to kids stuffs! There were dancers dancing on floating boat, Thai boxing on the bamboo and many other activities to spend the day! 

Then, took a cab and went over to walking street and stroll along the street before heading back to the hotel. After we came back, we decided to go up to the rooftop bar to have a drink. The rooftop bar located at 38th floor but only operates after 6pm. The rooftop bar has a panorama view of the sea and the surrounding.. Magnificent view!  So, we headed to Jomtien beach since we have 30mins to spare and to have a drink, enjoying the sunset at the beach.. Went for a swim at the pool in the hotel..showered, changed and went up to the rooftop bar again and ordered a mojito! Went for authentic Thai food for dinner before heading to waking street at south Pattaya  for performance and drinks!

Seriously had so much fun over there! The drag shows, the drinks and some uncensored Thai show...it's a must go places in Pattaya for drinks and fun! We spent the entire night over there and only came back to hotel at 3am!

Good guys go to heaven, bad guys go to Pattaya! It says along! A sinful place!

15 May - Dragged myself out of the bed to have breakfast at 9am! Went back to sleep again till 12pm! After checking out, headed to central festival mall to do some last minute shopping and Thai lunch before we leave for the airport at 3pm.. It was a wonderful trip! Thailand had so much to offer!! Party, culture, people, shopping, massage! I will definitely go back for the nightlife again! Watch For me!
