Well well well..... I think this is some of the most curious tasks which i have done!! Writing a blog :)
Starting with time of 5:30 AM in the morning 4th December, just the day after my b'day ;), woke up, got ready for catching the bus at 6:00. The place i have listened only few years ago, that yeah a beach is there in bangkok, which is pretty kool. Who knows at that time, I would be going to that place after some yrs :).
We got the bus at about 6:10 around, that too there was not written pattaya in it, again a mistake by me only as usual. The bus was going to chen buri, which is near to pattaya but route changed. so the journey is to last 3 hrs, took 4 hrs or so. The lady bus conductor helped us to get a bus at chen buri which left us at pattaya at about 10 AM. Oh, I forgot we were 7 people viz. me, Yogesh, Rahul, Nimish, Vivek, Niraj and Ritesh. At 10 AM around we reached at a tourist information center, where we got the package for coral island. Meanwhile, Yogesh left us and went for SkyDiving. We reached at the beach after 10 mins around. The first pic which i took was the awesome beach which I have ever seen.
Started in a speed motor boat. gosh!!! I was just unable to click the photographs in it. It was moving at a high speed crossing the waves and we were like ... are there speed breakers in water :P .. The guide with us took to one of stand in between for Para sealing, which I believe is something which I saw only in movies. We started in a queue. The persons there were tying up the knots and all. Don't know wha they did :D But i was tightly bound, and the person who last tid something to me said when I say 1, 2 3, run then start running. I was like ... oops i have to run also. But I dint ran :P It took me one second ... ohhh I am in air now . I saw views all around. The boat rider took me downwards dipped in water my lower half :D and took me up again. That 5 min ride was just awesome enjoying. Well, I think there i am :D
We started again after sometime at the speedy motor boat enjoying the speed breakers in the sea. and reached the beatiful coral islands. The sand was white and the water was amazingly green cleared. but at the end it was sea... so salty :P. This was perhaps a private beach as the guide told us to go to another beach which was bigger and some distance away.
Entering the sea, it was usual but it quite enjoying as we got the tubes there :D. Floating in the tube went far far . How the time went was just unpredictable. A funny incident i am remembering. A guy who was also floating like me in the sea, saw me and asked 'Time kya ho raha hai' :D. Yes.. He asked me in hindi. I replied him 'poune do baj raha hai' and he again asked '2 nahin baja ab tak' I again said 'nahin 15 min baaki hain' and then i moved from there.
An awesome beach to have a dip at ;) .
We left from the beach after about 2-3 hrs at arnd 3 PM and reached back at the pattaya beach again in the speedy motorboat with the speedbreakers :D
Reached at the hotel and after getting some rest reached to the most unusual and expressive show The Tiffany's Show for which the tickets were already booked online. When we reached after sometime a show just ended and the tiffany's came outside for photo sessions etc. May be the below picture describe why I have used the word 'unusual' ;)
If not this, then this would surely describe
Well, the show was really really fantastic and worth watching. Basically, its a Dance show, where in the term as tiffany's , dance and sing not sing actually. Mostly it was dance only. Stage performances. They were dancing on various songs of Asia I think. As they danced on Dola re Dola also. The song from Devdas movie. and it was just awesome. It was told that this show is running for the last 30 yrs. Now, I should disclose this, that the persons in the above pictures are not girls but shemales :D.
After the end of the show, we headed towards the hotel. Reached to the beach and spent the night till 2 PM there. Beautiful beach at night as well. Clicked some photographs and enjoyed.
Had chitchat with two of my friends just at this instant of time. I know you are reading this and remembering my chitchat :) .
In the morning again we did an unusual thing ;). We left the hotel and then hired bikes at rent :D.
In pattaya, you will find this stuff as the places are distant enough and the agent etc will charge you extra for anything. Now, some more interesting part of our trip started. Headed towards tiger zoo at si racha, we were playing in the expressway. Going one route to other and then again some other. The expressways were like .... phew........ a four laned up and down both side and the service lanes wherever was again 3 laned. The road was like .... I reached the speed of 95, but the bike was trembling, hence slowed. I hardly found the bike running at a speed of less than 70.
The most difficult part of being a non-english country is the communication part. Getting headed si racha, we passed a total countryside area but dint find it anyway less than bangkok. The shopping malls were a usual 6 floored. The roads were just awesome to drive in.
Anyhow, asking asking and asking, communicating some or the other way. we reached our destination The Siracha Tiger Zoo....
Well, to describe it, these pics can say much more than words :)
The zoo has it all. Crocodiles, Elephants, and all the zoo stuff but in some sort of unusual ways.
Spending about 1-2 hrs, we headed towards pattaya now again playing with the expressway and lost the pattaya highway again :P. Anyways, reached to the floating market at pattaya which was just another unusual thing.
Spending some time out there. Watched the small ganpati temple there enchanting the Ganpati Arti in hindi.
These statues were near to the temple.
A glimpse of the market.
Finally, end of the say reached to a mall in pattaya which had some more unusual things but we left it for next time. But took some unusual pics :) . Can u catch that ??? ;)
At last, we reached at the bus terminal for the bus at bangkok and reached bangkok at an extreme of only 1.25 hrs which is the distance of 3 hrs. A total extreme trip to Pattaya :):)!!!!
