Trip to Pattaya part 2

Our Condo Complex.


I was really pleased with Pattaya, I had been previously, but got the wrong idea completely. The nightlife is very steamy and if you are of a delicate disposition, you might take offence. This is only a small part of Pattaya.
For the most part, pattaya is a large, busy seaside resort. From what I saw of the accomodation, its all first class, the Condo we stayed in had tennis courts, a 25M pool and lovely gardens. The Jontiam Beach we went to was fairly clean and not very busy. if your into watersports, there are loads to choose from and very cheap. 20 minutes on a Jet ski costs around £5, and great fun too. The nightlife I will go into in another post, but the Restaurants are all very good, they specialise in seafood, on sunday afternoon we found our way to a Thai Seafood restaurant right at the other end of the beach. it was right on the front and you had to choose the fish or prawn you wanted. Nuch had the prawns in the picture. these suckers were huge, I wouldn't have wanted to put my hand in the tank to get them out. I was walking past the snapper tank, when one of them looked at me a bit funny, that made my mind up. I had him charcoal grilled and covered in vegatables and sweet and sour sauce. The moral of the story is, dont give me that look, OK!
We were tucking into our food, an Aussie called Jim who we met on the Taxi joined us for lunch, I think he was glad to talk english with me! All of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I spyed something trying to nick the bread off the table. I looked round and there was this bloody great big Elephant! On its way back from working on a building site, it was peckish so decided it wanted my snap. You dont argue with a ton and a half of elephant. Its Maumoot said it would be best to give her our bread. I passed it to its trunk, the power in the trunk was incredible and its small eye's took everything in. you dont get this happen at the Continental Food Bar back in Belper.
It was soon back to Bangkok, I enjoyed Pattaya, so did Nuch, we will be back again!
