Thailand - Pattaya Part 4

To go to Pattaya, we decided to take a taxi since it's only 2 hrs ride. This is when we are conned by the Taxi driver for the first time. When we packed and check out from our room, this bell boy suggest to us a taxi with the price of 1400 baht, including everything. But we manage to bargain the price to 1200 baht.

However, when we were sitting inside the taxi on the way to Pattaya, the "siao" taxi driver actually charge us with the every toll which iccured extra 150 baht. And this driver actually want to let us pay for his petrol refill too but we deny profusely. (I really think the driver is a bit crazy. He keeps talking and show his small buddha statue and say this buddha will protect WITH his head turn to the back while driving) Total taxi fee = 1350 baht.
How we know we are conned is because we managed to get a Taxi back to Bangkok from Pattaya at the price of 1000 baht including the toll.

Our hotel, Nova Lodge's lobby

There's actually a swimming pool available.

After we check in, we go explore around Pattaya. The first thing we do is massage. The guys went for Thai massage where as the girls settle for foot massage.

Ouch, that hurt!
My princess feet being treated nicely after sore from all the walking.

After the foot massage, we loiter around the street for some sight-seeing. And this is when I bought my swimming suit. And it's SUPER CHEAP. 370 Baht = RM 37. Where can you get a two piece swimming suit at that price here in Kuching. I spot one that looks alike at Seberkas the other night at the cost of RM109!! *beaming from ear to ear*

In the evening, we went along the beach and spot Hard Rock Cafe! Which is just one street away from our hotel. We discuss and decided to have dinner there although the price is quite expensive. Since we wanna "show off" and tell Uncle "T" when we come back and brag about having such a nice time at Hard Rock cafe too. =P

Hard Rock Cafe. I purposely took this photo to keep as proof. ^o^

The food we ordered.

At night, we went to watch the famous "ah gua" show, THE TIFFANY'S SHOW. Where Nick is having a superb good time watching the pretty lady boys and manage to take a photo with one of the prettiest "gal".


For those going to Pattaya, I strongly recommend the Tiffany's show. Although all the performers are not REAL girls, but they are really pretty. And the show is really nice and entertaining.
