Part 4

We went to Pattaya for 2 days 1 night just to chillax. Turnout, our chillaxing trip ended up a bit adventurous.We been on a taxi, bus and motorcycle to reach our hotel, Dusit Thani in Pattaya. Never in my life I would imagine myself being fetched on a motorcycle without a helmet with two others on the same motorcycle (with Sara and the driver(?)) bustling through the busy street of Pattaya, one hand grabbing my bag and the other had grabbing anything that I could to save my life including the driver shirt and being dropped off in front of our 5 star hotel.

No wonder the valet is not interested to serve us after our glamorous ride. Pffft 

Complimentary drink while checking in.

The spacious hotel lobby

Our hotel is actually located right next to the sea.

And the best part is our hotel has infinity pool but we didn't have time to check it out.

We only swam awhile at the swimming pool (the one that we could see from our balcony), basically to test out our bikinis that we bought at Chatuchak Market :p

Twinsie!

Yeah, just pictures of me and Miao because miss Sara was busy somewhere on the phone :p After we were done exploring our room, we freshen up and went for lunch and sight seeing. The weather was scorching hot and the beach area was filled with tourists sunbathing. Us being the Asian, were trying to stay under the shade as much as possible.

I think this is the only shopping mall there. It called Central something if I'm not mistaken.

We hit the food court first as we were all starving after the 2 hours ++ journey from Bangkok. Sick of having too much meat on our meals recently, we opted for more veggies for lunch. It was delicious as always. Seriously, Bangkok is more than a shopping heaven for me, it's a food heaven too!

Next thing after we done filling our tummy, we went shopping. First stop, Topshop. Various stores such as Armani Exchange, Topshop, Zara and so on were having their year end sale. But we didn't not managed to grab anything for ourselves tho, just some gifts for family.

Miao and I were having a little outfit shots while waiting for Sara in the changing room. I tried on a pair of studded short in one of the stores but didn't buy it. Too expensive :( While in Bangkok/Pattaya, one must try out their Thai massage. We tried the Thai massage after shopping and a foot massage after dinner. Both only for 300/200 Baht each. It was amazing.

At night, we went for seafood dinner at The Walking Street.

There was nothing much for us to see/explore at The Walking Street as it was quite dangerous for 3 girls to walk around in a street filled with strip clubs. We saw lots and lots of characters of strippers but didn't went in to any of the clubs. Well, it is probably the heaven for guys, but not for us.

Next day, checked out. 

We went to the Central again for lunch the next day before leaving Pattaya. This time we chose steamboat and went for MK Restaurant. It was Thai father's day that day, everyone were wearing yellow shirts and out having lunch with their families.

Just a simple but filling meal.

We took the van back to Bangkok and slept the whole 2 hours ride. Reached Bangkok around 7 something which is Bangkok traffic jam prime time. To avoid the heavy traffic, we decided to go dinner at Eat Am Are. I know, the name is weird but the steaks are good, just as they claimed!

I'm exhausted

While these two still energetic enough to camwhore

When I say food in Bangkok is heaven, I was dead serious. For my one week stay there, I have never had a disappointed meals. My favorite will definitely the salted egg squirt at W Restaurant and the green curry powder squirt at the diner near Sara's apartment. 

I'm so in love with their food that I grabbed quite a handful of the food spices home. I did tried to cook the green curry once but failed. :( I still miss Thai authentic tom yam soup. 

The day before we leaving Bangkok, we had lunch at the diner near Sara's apartment again. Just to have another foodgasm. Seriously, I wanna go back to Bangkok just to have their food again.
