Honeymoon Tales!

Went to Thailand for a short honeymoon and our first stop is to the little town of Pattaya, 2 hours from the Bangkok International Airport.

I must say we didn't expect much from this little town but turns out that it was more enjoyable than Bangkok is to us and here's why...

Beautiful ambience that sets the honeymoon mood at a rate cheaper than Bangok hotels....highly recommended The Mercure Hotel Pattaya...

George and I particularly missed Thai foodfare from this mini eatery that serves up palatable dishes, and my favorite "kang Kong" is called "morning glory" in Thailand...wonder why?

We chanced upon this Ripley's Museum in a shopping centre and it provided us with 2 hours of fun peeking around.

Original pieces of the Iron Curtain, the Berlin Wall that came down...pardon me for being a bad guide, I've forgotten what most of the exhibits I saw were! :(

There was one haunted house that we didn't try...cos I would hallucinate if I attempted to go in...so we settled for a pose instead : )

And then we went off to Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok, the tallest hotel in Bangkok and we stayed on the 41st floor (which is the lowest zone)

I would really love to stay at the highest level (70 plus) but wasn't willing to pay the extras. Didn't regret it cos I didn't even like the hotel..I promised myself to stay in a better hotel if I were to visit Bangkok again..

I realised that hubby and I are both sightseeing travellers - we like to see new things and not enjoy trips that are all about shopping. We visited one of his Bangkok colleague and she took us to sample local authentic Thai cooking...nice...and cheap!!!!

Don't be deceived by appearance, it ain't spicy...

As for the rest of the days, we were so busy shopping, there's no time to take pictures!!

Erm..hahaha..I missed out some pictures...here goes!

Okie, I liked this Roasted Prawn Glass Noodles at a roadside eatery...you can't find the same taste in Singapore. Was amused by the big prawn head..haha.
