Day 1
When was the last time you had a relaxing trip? Or how long have you not enjoyed the sun, the beach and the good food? Let's compose a delightful music by this joyful vacation to Thailand! Let's go.
Yeah! The day everybody expected had come finally. We took the earliest plane in the morning so we needed to get up very early and left home when it was still dawn. However, it was worth sacrificing a bit in order to have fun later. Everybody could finally leave the pressure behind, and greeted the Thailand trip for five days and four nights: the joy of the holidays began.
At the moment of plane taking off, I believed that the mood of everyone had already flied to the thousands of miles away. Thailand, here we came.
3 hours later, we arrived Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, everybody got very high at that moment, and felt relaxed.
"Sawatdii" means “hello.” This greeting could be heard the Thai people, and they always wear a friendly smile on their faces. Our tour guide told us the in the country the driver’s seats are on the right side, which is so different from the condition in Taiwan. This was quite special! The local weather was sunny. The tour guide explained the features in Thailand. We had our lunch at the imperial Square, with Hong Kong-style food. Hong Kong-style tea tasted different but there was another special flavor. After the meal, we left for East Hawaii – Pattaya.
First of all, we visited the Siam Park and watched the performance of "monkey military". Then we rode the elephants. We rode on the back of the elephants and had a good view of the fields. We felt the shaking with each step of the elephants in the fields. We experienced one new exciting activity called “the moonlight Bowls”. We enjoyed an tremendous excitement of being turned upside down and we strongly suggested people who would vomit should never try this. ”The Monster World Park” was another good place to visit. We watched a variety of bizarre animals there!
Then we drove to “the sleepless city”, Pattaya (“Oriental Hawaii”), to enjoy the original Thai massage for 2 hours. This was the first time to experience the massage in a group. It must let us sleep well tonight.
Day 2
After one night of good sleep, everybody felt very refreshed the next day. We wore our casual fits and had prepared to have some water sports. We took the yacht to a platform in the sea for parasailing. Some people having the guts wanted to have the exciting experience to fly in the air. Then, we arrived at the Star-Moon Island, where there is a long (up to 2000 meters) beach. We enjoyed the beach with white sand and blue water. We were so happy to play in the water and enjoyed watching the bikini beauties. When we were back to the island, we could have another relaxing SPA. What a life! We went to the famous “Walking Street” in the evening, which is just like a night market for tourists in Taiwan. There were various local food vendors and attractive pubs, which made each tourist not want to leave.
Day 3
There was no morning call in Day 3, which meant we could sleep as late as we wanted. But, I couldn’t help but got attracted to the warm sun in Pattaya. So I brought my camera and went to beach to welcome the dawn. But it was a pity that the sun was blocked by the building, which made me unable to take some good pictures. The lunch was arranged at a revolving restaurant on the 53 floor of PATTAYA Park, the tallest building in Pattaya. We had the delicious sea food while we were enjoying the good view of Siam Bay. After lunch, we took the sliding activity. It was so exciting to slide down from the 56th floor. It challenged my fear for height. For those who likes exciting activities, it is a must try. It was really fun. After that, we visited “Golden Triangle Village”. There were several exhibitions. We learnt some history without going to the northern Thailand. We visited floating market afterward. It was market on the water with wood carving culture. The area amounts to of 36800 square meters. We took the boats visited each different shop. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, it had spent two years on planning this floating market (Quartet Water market) in Pattaya, also known as [seatsclimbing floating market]. It combines the features of northern, central, southern and north-eastern region of Thailand. . It was very worthy of visiting this place. The most wonderful program in the evening was the “Tiffany Show”, the lady-boy performance. I was so astonished. In addition to enjoying their beauty, we also watched the performance of singing and dancing. After the show, we took pictures with the dancers.
Day 4
The main trip of today was to visit the jewel exhibition center and the leather product center in Siam. It definitely left an impressive image to the local people because of the financial capacity of employees of Taiwan Pronology. After that, we arrived at a Japanese restaurant named “Hajime Robot” which not only provided all kinds of Japanese dishes but also the dishes were fully served by robots instead of human. Both deliveries of the dishes or the cleaning could be controlled via the touch screen, which on your call. Additionally, the robots also provided some entertainment such as joyful dance, which was really funny. After having a delicious meal, we went on to visit the famous "Phra Phrom", whose disciples are from around the world. It is said that the Phra Phrom can grant your wish, whatever you are concerned with, such as marriage, wealth and so on. For this reason, many movie stars and singers have become loyal disciple of Phra Phrom.
The final stop of day 4 is the newest huge shopping mall, “Siam Paragon”. I strongly believed the tour guide loved a traveling group of shopaholics such as the Pronology Inc. It was clear to see from every one’s hand carrier, which is filled with the popular Bankok bags.
Day 5
At the end of the last day of the whole trip, the mood was complicated. (sigh) The first place we visited is the Thonburi Snake Farm. After the snake show, the anti-toxic pill, snake gall and the foam latex pillow could not be missed. The following stop was "Dream world" which is called the Eastern Disney. There were various entertaining systems. The most special one was the Snow House. When we walked into the Snow House, we not only could play the snow skate but also could watch a variety of settings covered with snow. However, the lovely hours passed away soon. It was the time to return to Taiwan. We really enjoyed the vacation and we look forward to visit Thailand again soon in future.
The 5day beautiful trip to Thailand was really memorable. The whole tour was full of laughter and fun. It was difficult to explain via words what we gained from this journey, thus the best way is to learn from firsthand experience, and then you will know what I felt. To fill the following decades of life with colourful and wonderful experience, travel abroad. It is a significant task to enrich our life.
