SE ASIA - DAY06 - PATTAYA - Free and Easy
Had my lunch yesterday at 4.30pm and was afraid that I woke up in the middle of the night and feeling hungry. So I explored around at 8pm last night to have a light meal before calling it a day.
Saw this Ninja Thai Hotpot that is filled with locals, it has to be good. The location is at 12.9447866,100.8937188 . Being alone, I couldn't master the courage to go in and have a hotpot by myself. It was quite heavy for a pre-sleep meal too, so I let it pass.
I ended up this marvelous fish congee(THB80) that is also heavily patronized by locals. This store have a lots of good comments and most customers are local. The fish is really fresh. I usually rate if a shop is expensive or cheap by the cost of their beer. A large bottle of Chang beer cost THB70 where other restaurants usually cost THB100. 7-11 sells a bottle of Chang Beer at THB58. Coordinates 12.9487599,100.8975061 . The shop is called Ko Si Chang Fish Congee as in Google Map but the signboard is in Thai. It's the corner at the road junction, you can't miss it.
Nevertheless, I still wake up at 5am (6am SGT) and took my bike out for a spin in Pattaya beach area when everyone else is still sleeping.
Yes, I have the side panniers stored in the hotel room, the bike is so much more agile without them.
Had my breakfast in Macdonalds and then to the Santuary of Truth, a must visit in Pattaya.
It's the Pattaya version of Sagrada Familia in Bacelona.
The entire building is made of wood. not a single metal nail was used. It was started by a rich Thai businessman and the project started in 1981. It is targetted to complete only in 2050. I wonder if I get to see the day when it complete.
Every single section in the entire structure was carved in detail, you gotta see to believe. The ticket was a little bit steep at THB500 though, but its a "since you are there, why not" thing.
The place have elephants you can ride at additional cost, or you can even feed the goats.
