Pattaya for the beach goers and the erhem

The title speaks it all. The most treasured feeling of living the day such that you've too much time for things to do. The pace is slowed drastically. Jus need to kick off my slippers and take a walk, with bare feet. Feeling the sensation of the sand grains against the worn soles. Strolling along the shore with the surround-sound waves splashing and watching them retreating back into the sea. Slumped onto a beach chair with the sun rays falling softly onto the face, hoping to get a little tan. The thai songs playing behind us along the main roads, the water glittered like crystals and the sun slowly setting behind the horizon.

Other daily affairs include bunking in the the nice hotel room, wifi-ing in the lobby while feeding mozzies. Looking for food in our frequently patronised shopping mall n also where we caught the over 2-hour long 'the dark knight rises'. Great show. Their theatre is commendable. The seat backing is tilted at the angle, flexible n bouncy. Visited an extremely cool japanese restaurant with a robot which dances to the music. Uber entertaining. Tried the roadside stall you tiao and egg with luk chiong and fishcake. The porridge is too soggy for my liking. The coffee is yummilicious! Also tasted the green curry and tom yam soup in another restuarant. The rest of the streets are low overhanging cables, public transport, pasar malam, which is actually not bad, at least the frequency of repetition of stuff on sale is lower. Different things on sale. Some stalls are purely second hand goods, or dunno how many hands alr. And then everywhere is red light district. Guessed those ang mohs we saw are german, paired with the locals. Our dear fren refused to go and ask how much. Happy to be on this trip with great company, otherwise not suited for the most prevalent entertainment here. Had numerous good luffs for the combination of idiosyncracies.

Tho we did consider options. Didnt go out on day trips cos atv and 3 km of flying fox are deemed too adventurous for our dear pal. Even renting motorbikes is. So well... No kayaks or canoes ard. Parasailing is too boring and jetski is not worth the money. Probably buying one back is more worth it, if we are allowed at east coast and there is a place to repair in case of breakdowns in sg. Only horseback riding is available, no horseback galloping. Tiffany shows dont look fun, sigh so probably we are the picky ones.
