Pattaya [พัทยา]

5/4/12- Go to Pattaya

The night before go to Pattaya

It is known as the beach town that cater wide ranges of families, business travelers and couples. Apart from that, I also want to try the night life which is the selling point of the Pattaya. According to the China backpackers, during 12am the Walking street, go-go's, discos, massage parlours and dozens of bar-beers compete with each other for your immediate attention. All combine can raise the blood pressure.

Attracted with 180 Baht per way to Pattaya

Buying ticket at Travel Agency Khao San Road

Suddenly observe many cameras were target towards this couple. Maybe they are the actor and actress of Thailand

Apparently, 180 Baht is using the public bus of Bangkok to Pattaya. Erghhhhhhhhh, the cheap ticket is not good because the driver is late to pick us at the travel agency. The travel agency promise it will pick up on 11.30 am Thailand time, actually he come to pick up on 12.30. I think we reach Pattaya is 4pm because it is the public bus that will stop in every station. Who can tell me 4pm come to a city that we never explore, isn't enough time?The day after tomorrow we will leave Pattaya (only stay 1 night in Pattaya)

The bus that I take from Bangkok to Pattaya

 Pattaya-Bangkok Bus Terminal

 According to the one of the officer on duty in the bus terminal to help the tourists, he tells us that in order to enjoy the Tiffany Carbaret show, the ticket need to buy earlier because it always fully booked. He advises us to go Pattaya Tourism Information which is next to the Family Mart to enquire the vacant seat of the show.

 

 The V.IP seat= 1000 Baht
 The deluxe seat =800 Baht

We choose for deluxe seat. The V.I.P seat has 8 rows which is after the grand stage while the deluxe seat is after the V.I.P seat.

Tut-tuk that we take from bus terminal to Tune Hotel which is located in Soi 4 (only 20 Bahts)

The disadvantages of using this tuk-tuks is the driver will not inform you the destination that you wanted has reached. Be ready for the destination that you wish to stop~recognize the signbord

I should not belief the rural women saying that the Soi 4 is still far and just sitting comfortable to enjoy the scenery view of Pattaya. Actually, soi 4 has been passed. So angry, I need to walk around 20 minutes from soi 15 to soi 4 (the tut-tuk driver charge 40 bahts and 60 bahts for the short journey)

When further walking to find the Soi 4, I take the opportunity to snap the photo

Why the shopping will name as Mike Shopping Mall???

Mama, next time when we come here, will we stay here???

European people like to soak in the bar even in the hot afternoon

Old man also like to visit the bar while listening to IPod

 

 

Around 25 minutes, I find the Tune hotel successfully

The twin standard room is 790 Baht. Suddenly, the price drastic increased due to one of the guest is telephoning to check the room rates. It becomes 1000 Baht. At the same time, the 1 queen size standard room become cheaper compare to twin standard room (799 Baht plus with service charge and tax). We take the cheaper one! My China friend was in quarrel with me because of this incident

If you come earlier without taking the photos along the road when we walking, we might be able to grab the cheapest twin standard room...........I shouted at her: although I am taking the photos, I still beside you.....You also can come to check-in earlier than me instead you pull the front Tune hotel's for me????You like to be quick, why suddenly become so slow??? (I really assume her not courage to confront the reception counter)

What do you think about the Pattaya?
