Weekend in Pattaya September 20, 2009

Posted by Martin in : Friends, Thailand , trackback

With Tik studying so hard it’s very rare we get a free weekend to get away. On the verge of burning out we managed to get out to Pattaya though for two days and met up with our friends Wayne and Lorraine.

We booked into the Sunbeam hotel and upgraded to a large room with complimentary minibar (no alcohol though) and a much-appreciated large bathtub.

We visited the new floating market which is completely artificial, very touristy but attractive and the price of food was reasonable. It’s a good place to browse.

Tik treated me to a morning at KhaoKiew Open zoo where I got to visit one of my favorite animals – the Binturong (bear-cat) and, as a bonus we got to see some tiny hippos too.
