Bangkok/Pattaya

yeap...im back! and the trip to thailand was totally awesome...even tho everything was a rush...from the moment i stepped onto the plane at LCCT till the moment i stepped down from it...here's a brief insight on my 4 days there...

Day 1
boarded the evening flight from LCCT straight to Don Muang airport..the flight took 2 hrs and i dun like the seats up on Air Asia..it was up rite straight and u dun get much space between the seats..sort of cramped...so not comfy... other than dat, the service and the clealiness was fine...felt dizzy up on the plane and i slept through out the flight...

reached the airport and immediately got swept away by our malaysian tour guide to the bus dat was waiting at the entrance... drove straight to Prince Palace for the group dinner...we were already late and yet we still had to get stuck in traffic jams...i can tell u one thing...traffic in bangkok city is much worse than those in kl... red lights take ages to change to green and u can actually get stuck in ONE spot for half an hr...without moving AT ALL... on top of all dat, u haf to make way for some royal highness to pass... got real tired of waiting...but can we all do rite? our thai tour guide ( wif his not-so-fluent english ) talked non-stop all along the way... telling us about our itenary...places of interest, food to eat, buildings along the street and most importantly...places to shop!

was late for dinner so the organizing committee postponed it to half an hr later...din even bathe...got dressed rite away, freshened up and headed staright down to the ballroom...dinner was usual la...like those u normally go to...only this one had short and wacky performances, lucky draws, games, laughter, laughter and lots of laughter... food was a mixture of thai, asian and western cuisines...

went to bed quite late due to all the gossips and chatting wif my room mate... n she was the one who complained she was tired...

Day 2
went to the floating market 2 hrs away from the city...no, not exactly...the jeti was 2 hrs away from the city...from the jeti another half an hr by sampan to the market...and then got onto another sampan to move around the market...it was real hot and stuffy... and ever heard of sampan jam? well, it happned there...it amazes me to see senior thai citizens rowing a fully loaded sampan, bargain wif u, packed ur stuffs, receiving money and calling out to other customers...all AT ONCE! *thumbs up*...no way i can do dat...souveniers were all the same from sampan to sampan...only the food is different....cute, cheap and tasty...yummm...

then another 2 hrs back to the city for lunch...everything was well arranged...all we had to do was juz eat...hahaha...jammed to the gem factory after dat...no one bought anything from there...lolz....and then jammed to the leather factory...dunno for wat...coz we juz walked in...used the washroom and then walked straight out...totally mou liu...but it was in the itenary, so we HAD to go...jammed to MBK shopping mall after dat and we oni had 1 hr to shop b4 being whisked away for dinner..din buy anything from there oso anyway...coz it's juz like midvalley...wateva u see there, u'll c it in midvalley...and the prices are about the same too...so no point buying there oso...

then rushed to dinner and then rushed to watch thai girl show...hehhehe...nothing new...all the stunts were expected b4 we went in...it was so boring at one point dat some ppl actually fell asleep... the girls were not pretty anyway...neither were their bodies...so nothing to see actually....dun waste ur bahts there if u do go to thailand...after like an hr there, we were rushed to the nite bazaar...it was closing but we did get to grab some really cheap stuffs...hahhaha...dats were all the souveniers came from...

and then we were rushed back to the hotel to rest...one very rush day...

Day 3
planned to wake up early to shop at the morning market...but for the lazy me..might as well sleep la...hehhee...the market opens at 3 am u noe...how cud i possibly wake up dat early? anyway, we rushed to the Reclining Buddha after breakfast and then rushed to the safari world...more time wasted...we are adults...y do we need to go to the zoo for? animals dun interest us anymore...anyhow, it was another MUZ go type of thing...so we had no choice la...watched a lame cowboy show which was in thai..so we had no idea wat were they talking about oso...alot of running and shooting and bombings...i think kids wud like dat more...lolz...then rushed to lunch n then to a dolphin and whale show...now dat was nice...the oni nice thing in the safari...

it was raining when we left for pattaya...another 2-3 hrs...everyone was fast asleep on the bus...even the tour guide stopped entertaining us...coz no one was listening dy...lolz....reached pattaya late evening and then rushed to the massage parlour for our 2 hrs of thai massage...real syok man! this plump lady was cracking my every bone...ive never heard my bones making all these sounds b4...hahahhaa...and did i meantion i fell of the bed? yah, me...lolz

rushed to dinner and then rushed to watch the famous aqua show...superb! if they dun speak, u wont noe...they look much prettier and much shapely than anyone of us here...and their costumes were totally eye-catching...all the guys went ga-ga over them...well, they are guys too anyway...lolz...we were told dat the thai government actually subsidised their surgery...all they have to pay is 30 baht..dat means oni RM3! anyone wanna go for it?

then we checked into a budget hotel...real budget...rite in the middle of pattaya's nite life...real noisy... din sleep much dat nite too coz we went out to get a glimpse of pattaya's clubbing streets...there were clubs everywer...from lame ones to real poshy and happening ones...aquas were every wer... and plump ladies in skimpy outfits doing pole dancing...total eye sore! still tonnes of mat salleh were sitting and watching...it is different from our clubbing scenes...u wont noe if dat chick nx to u is male or female...

Day 4
headed to the coral island early in the morning...another rushed fun...imagine going to the beach for less than half a day...wat the heck...anyhow, did managed to parasail, went on the banana boat, dipped in clear water and did some light shopping... and then rushed back to the hotel to bathe and pack and then rushed to the airport for our flight home...skipped lunch dat day and eveyone was like rushing to get something to eat at the airport before boarding the flight...it was nite by the time i reached LCCT...tired and hungry...

All in all, i wud say this trip was a real rush case...worsen by jams and delays...sigh! tired from all the travelling than from the sight-seeing and shopping...but it was fun...din noe my colleagues all can be so wacky...out of the office...hahhaha...got to noe some new ppl...some which ive not even seen b4....din really get the names of all the places dat they took us...coz we were rushing in and out...and there was alwiz a serving of tom yam for our every meal...the taste gets better from place to place...but since i dun take spicy stuffs...so, not much effect on me...heheheh...and lucky us, we returned safe and sound rite before the military coup..phew!
