Thailand is a little under 12 hours away from Europe and it is the destination of many European
holiday goers seeking some tropical weather at affordable prices.
Bangkok airport is pretty big with very good connections to other parts of the country.
My destination was Pattaya where I spent a weekend at the locak Movenpick Hotel in Na
Jomtien.
Pattaya is two hours away from Bangkok Airport by an airconditioned bus and the operators
can arrange hotel drop offs for an extra fee.
If you have the money, you can also take a taxi for about 20-30 euros each way although
the bus will only cost three euro and take the same time.
I arrived in Pattaya just after sunset and made my way to the Movenpick straight away.
My room was on the 26th floor, which in fact was a suite with a jacuzzi, a balcony, a huge
double bed, a shower and a mini bar plus a flat screen TV.
The cocktail bar at the Movenpick in Pattaya was amazing, with the bartender creating some
amazing drinks in front of my eyes.
I had a mango cocktail with some rum and vodka which was absolutely delicious!
Breakfast was served in the third floor club lounge where I had access with my special
voucher that also included afternoon tea and the cocktail hour in the evening for 700 baht.
The breakfast was super tasty and the views were absolutely stunning over the sea and
the nearby skyscrapers.
I had miso soup for breakfast followed by cereals and some danish pastry.
After breakfast I headed down to the swimming pool which was open from 7AM to 9PM.
There were lots of locals at the pool and the beach was also just a few meters walk
away.
The Movenpick is also next to the local yacht club and other upmarket hotels in a district
called Na Jomtien, which is about 20 minutes from downtown Pattaya by taxi.
There was also a park nearby and some smaller restaurants along the beach, so it was the
perfect location for some weekend relaxation.
Since my room had a balcony I thought it was only fair to have a cup or tea, soaking in
the sun and enjoying the panoramic views.
After the tea on the balcony I headed down to the swimming pool again for a bit of fun
then came the afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches.
I then spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool, playing in the water and sliding
down the slides.
The cocktail hour actually lasted for two hours and included some food and soft drinks
as well.
I thought it was a pretty good deal especially that the cocktails were pretty much inlimited
within those two hours.
I had the Henessy cocktail twice and then a Long Island Ice Tea.
After sunset I got in a tuktuk and went to check out the nightlife in Pattaya.
Downtown Pattaya is full of bars, clubs and other entertainment businesses, mainly catering
for the tourists.
It first became famous when the US Gis started coming here to take a break from the Vietnam
war and fell in love with the beatiful surroundings.
There is everything here for all interests, be it straight, gay, transvestite and anything
in between as long as it is legal.
Pattaya is also famous for the Nong Nooch Botanical Gardens, which is about 20 minutes
by taxi from the Movenpick Hotel.
Nong Nooch is a private park with access for tourists for 500 baht.
Here you will find lots of elephants, tigers, statues and temples as well as a massive outdoor
life size dinasour display.
For me the most interesting bits were the huge bugs and dinasours because walking among
them I could imagine what it might have been like when they actually inhabited this planet.
The massive Buddhist temple at the center of the park was also quite fascinating with
the French garden right next to it.
On my last night in Pattaya I visited both of the most famous drag theaters, one of which
is the Tiffany's and the other is the Alcazar.
My personal favourite was Tiffany's as I could tell people were enjoying themselves
and the actors were all fully involved and seemed to love doing it.
In contrast, the Alcazar was half empty and the dancers all seemed tired and bored out
of their minds.
I did not enjoy the Alcazar at all but the memories from Tiffany's will stay with me
forever!
The next morning I took a bus back to Bangkok Airport and then the train to downtown Bangkok
where I spent the next four days.
