Follow us to Pattaya, Thailand. Day 3,4 and 5.

Day 3. It was a rainy friday morning, the schedule was visiting the cultural sites in the morning and indoor for evening since evening are more likely to rain heavily. Our first stop for today is Million Years Stone Park and Crocodile Farm. The entrance fee for an adult is 300 baht and 150 baht for kid. This park is a good place for people who loves the beautiful nature and fine culture of Thailand. There is a crocodile show every hour, so make sure you don't miss that. (This is my 2nd time watching the same old thing, ahhahah, if u ever watched crocodile show at other place, then I advise don't waste your time there)

yum!


Next, we went to the Sanctuary of Truth aka Prasat Satchatham Temple. It is a wooden temple located by the sea. The woodcarvings is a masterpiece of art, the sculptures artwork is amazing. The beauty of this temple is they built it without using any screw. Due to the damage by the weather and termites, we need to wear construction helmets for safety purposes. Here are the photos to look at.

The structures of the temple is very detailed.

it is a very nice place to take photos

Then we stopped by a local temple called Wat Chaimongkol to visit and do some prayers after lunch. This Buddhist temple has various small Buddha statues. The surrounding is calm and best to getaway from the busy city.

guess what, we spent here like 30 minutes just to get our coins thrown on the thingy below

apparently I failed N times, seems like God doesn't want my wishes to be come true huh
So what comes after that? We off to Wat Phra Yai Temple at Pratumnak Hill, there is a 60 feet tall golden Buddha statue stays on top of the hill. You can see the whole view of Pattaya at here, it was chilly and relaxing.



kids favourite pose! // ain't not kid anymore ;(

life is a long long way to go, aim your goals and beat it down
Now it's time for indoor activities! The tour guide brought us to a mall where the Ripley's believe it or not museum located at. The museum is placed on the top floor along with a variety of games such as 12D moving theater, haunted adventure, infinity maze,  scream in the dark, Louis Tussaud's waxworks and the vault. We bought a package with 5 attractions that you can choose from the above. We first went to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum, where they show actual stuffs that blown your mind away, I can say it's scary and also interesting. We, as the chickens, ofcourse skipped the Haunted Adventure and Scream in the dark (it's a ride, the kids wanted to try but sadly we have to be considerate for others because grandpa and grandma can't do that).


The Vault is actually a laser maze challenge where you can choose levels from easy to medium and to difficult. Basically you just need to complete the touching mission while you go across the laser maze without touching the lasers, it was really fun, 2 pax a game. The waxworks is just wax museum like the one in Hong Kong, nothing special though. Most of the wax models does not really look like the real person.

The infinity maze gave us an impression of WOW and I think we should go back and try it again. You will find yourself immersed in spectacular illusions, innovative lighting effects, atmospheric effects and mood setting music. A 10 - 15 minutes journey to find your way out and sometimes scare the shit out of you. You have to experience it! Last but not least, we went to the 12D short film theater before we go for our dinner. The film is really short about 3-5 minutes only. The lighting, sound and moving effect is quite alright. (my opinion is not so worthy to watch hahahha)

After the all day activity, we decided to go back to the villa to refresh ourselves. It was a hot sunny evening, swimming is the best way to cool down. And for girls, Twisters really got us twisting our selves up (we change the rule hahaha).

having fun in the pool!

new rules of twister got us like this

Day 4, we headed to the sea port for one-day snorkeling trip at Koh Samet island after breakfast. It was a bad hair day, the yatch we booked can't fit all of us in and the yatch's engine couldn't start. Therefore, we change to another speed boat. The weather that day was so bad, it rained heavily in the morning, the sea waves was extremely strong, the boat keep bouncing up and down as we move across the ocean. I normally will not get sea sick, but this time I felt like throwing up and so uncomfortable on the boat. (not only me, my grandma and my daddy too, they both are like me never get sea sick, but not today) As long as we reach the island, I quickly get the equipment I need and jumped into the water so that I can get rid of the sea sick as fast as possible. Unfortunately, due to the bad weather I see nothing but just 2 small group of fishes, the water is so muddy. It was an unpleasant trip and not so recommend here for the beach. (maybe it was because of the weather)

back to the starting point
At evening we split into 3 groups for some activities, my aunts went to spa, grandparents went to foot massage and we went to a mall to do some shopping. There is a few grill skewers stall at the road side, we bought some and it was tasty, forgot to take pictures.

To end the night, we went back to Pratumnak Hill for this splendid night view of Pattaya. I felt this is the place I want to go whenever I feel stressed, it was so relieve and chilly up there. Best for couples and buddies to have some heart to heart talk here. You can sit at the benches for as long as you want.





Day 5, the last day of our Pattaya trip. After breakfast, we packed our luggage and checked out the villa. Next, we headed to the Pattaya Sheep Farm, which look alike with the one in Hua Hin, 70% of the places are photo-worthy and the sheep are just supporting role.
