im finally back from the land of tom-yum, great pineapples, and gender confused queers.. the trip was pretty fruitful.. bought lots of stuff, and shot lots of shots..
first day: woke up at 4, and flew off.. got there at about 9, and went straight to the hotel.. as our first day was free and easy, we went for steamboat near MBK before heading there to shop.. bought lots and lots of stuff.. found out that MBK has lots and lots of photography shops.. and ALL of them has the Nikon Trinity on display.. the building very nearly had to be cordoned off on account of all the drool flooding the whole of the first floor, and was about halfway up the 2nd..
second day, went down the river thingy and stoped at the coolestly named temple that does not come out of an indiana jones movie: the temple of dawn.. continued down river, and passed the floating market before going back to the bus, and then to dreamworld.. didnt play much, but got really wet on the grand canyon ride.. took a 2 hour bus ride to Pattaya after that and had dinner before going to the hotel.. we went out again to explore the nightlife, and it was really happening.. lots of hookers around.. LOL!
3rd day, still in pattaya, we went to coral island, which was supposed to be the highlight of the whole trip, but was kinda ruined because of the slight drizzle, and it being saturday.. the crowd was OMG man.. took a speedboat to the parasailing barge and went for a round before going to coral island.. played everything they had (jetskis, banana boat and water sking) but the underwater explorer thing which i went the last time i was there.. after going back to the hotel for a bath, we went to some rich guy's hill.. he had a display of cars which included like 2 ford GTs, no less than 5 ford Mustangs of different models, a couple of italian supercars, and 2 hummers.. he also had a mini zoo with lots of animals.. watched the thai cultural show and the elephant show before leaving for dinner, and then back to the hotel for more night time romps..
4th day, went to the usual stop at the jewlery factory, and then went to the tiger farm for more shows (crocodile, tiger and pig) before driving down to bangkok again.. went to the 4-faced buddah to pray, and for my case, shoot and shoot and shoot.. we then went back to the hotel for a free and easy session at MBK again before having dinner opposite the hotel.. took a cab after that to the upscale part of town to look around before turning in..
today, went straight to the airport and flew off.. reached at about 2.30, and baby was at the airport to meet me! super happy!! finally got to meet her after 1 and a half weeks.. she got me gifts from the land of weird accents, strong currencies, baguettes and art.. took a cab home after that, and slacked at home and had dinner at home also
