only 1 week left before the trip!!!

for Yoga and Cil.. haha..
omg omg i'm so excited.. oh btw i'm back in singapore.. there's nothing much to do so I end up reading pattaya & bangkok tourism websites... haha.. anyway..

Yoga booked the Pattaya hotel, it's Sabai Lodge (right opposite sabai inn, but looks nicer.. haha..). It's US$168 in total, so everyone will have to pay US$28 (Yoga correct me if i'm wrong, or if you want to pay for the entire thing we dont mind.. hehe..)

hmm below is just the list of some things that we can do/see in pattaya:
1. the Nong Nooch tropical garden. It's a HUGE garden (at least from the map looks really huge) with lots of plants, and we can catch Thai cultural performances and Elephant performances there. It's around 15 minutes (or maybe slightly longer) away from Pattaya. A bit expensive though (not sure about the price, but the discounted price for weekend is B650, so weekdays shd be more). http://www.nongnoochtropicalgarden.com/en/aboutUs.asp

2. Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Apparently other than the Ripley's museum, there is a haunted house thing, 4D moving theatre, and an infinity maze (this looks really interesting). Can just pay to the one that you want to go to. This thing is right at the centre of Pattaya and open till midnight, so I guess if we have some spare time can just go there http://www.ripleysthailand.com/believe.htm

3. Alangkarn
Large theatre showing Thai cultural show. The show looks really good. We can have buffet dinner there as well (looks expensive) But I think there's no time to go for this one if we want to go for the transvertite show. http://www.alangkarnthailand.com/main.htm

4. Million Years Stone Park and Pattaya Crocodile Farm
Another park, this one has a zoo and LOTS of crocodile. You can take picture with tiger or see a crocodile show. (ok I dunno if anyone is interested, but I'm not that into crocodile, haha). The garden has lots of stones in it (as you would've guessed from the name). Also around 15minutes drive from pattaya. http://www.thaistonepark.org/index.html

ok other the four mentioned above there are some other things (which I find not v interesting):
- Mini Siam (replica of Thai monuments, historical buildings, etc. Since we're going to see the real thing in Bangkok find this a bit pointless)
- Elephant village. Yoga says he doesnt want to see & ride elephant. haha.
- Tiger zoo.
- Underwater world (like SeaWorld I guess)
- Bottle Art Museum. Replica of world famous places in bottles.
Let me know if you are interested on any of these, so i can go find more info.

For some reason I'm now a bit paranoid about the transport in thailand. Apparently the bus to Pattaya from Bangkok airport (the cheapest option) only runs every 2 hour. ahhh will find more info about the bus.. Can take taxi but it'll cost like 4 times more than the bus...

wah doing this is so fun, I should go work in a travel agency. haha. Cya SOON!
