We flied to Bangkok from Singapore. Because we flied with Air Asia, we landed in Don Mueng, instead of Suvarnabhumi Airport. We will continue our journey to Pattaya. I really curious about the beach and the night live.

From Don Mueng, we got the bus to Pattaya. In front of Don Mueng, we took a public bus to Mo Chit 2 Bus Station. I forgot the number of the bus. We asked someone in airport and they told us to take the bus.

Not like in Singapore where mostly people knew Malay and English, in Thailand not many people knew English. We should struggle to communicate. However, just like other Asian people, they were good people. Even we already brought Thai map, we still did not know about the transportation system.

Actually, we were really scared because not many people could speak English. Luckily, in the bus there was a woman who helped us. She knew little English, so we spoke mostly with our hands and gesture. She took us in the right bus, even she should postponed her trip. Oh, she just so nice. I was inspired by her. Hence, I promised that I will help confused traveler anywhere I found.

We took another bus to Pattaya in the bus station. It was almost evening when we arrived in Pattaya bus station. We took songthaew to go to Tune Hotel. Because we could not communicate, we just using gesture to deal the price. I did not know it was the best deal or not. As long as we can find our hotel, it was okey.

Finally, we arrived in Tune Hotel Pattaya. Tune Hotel was owned by Air Asia, so the package of Air Asia and Tune was a good deal. We can stay at a three star hotel with the same budget in Rucksacks Inn Singapore. The price in Thailand was cheaper than Singapore.

We choosed to stay in Pattaya because we wanted to see a cabaret show in the night. Actually, there were some cabaret shows and almost all of the tickets sold out. Fortunately, we still got the Alcazar ticket, even we bought in the evening. We bought the ticket in the tourism center. 

After we got the ticket, we walked around Pattaya. I wanted to see the famous beach. Our hotel was near with the beach, so we can walked to the beach.

Hemm, I was quite dissapointed about the beach because it was not really good. Perhaps I was compared with Lombok or Karimunjawa. Hahaha. Our beach was better than Pattaya. Perhaps it was not the best beach in Thailand. Maybe someday I will see a beautiful beach in Thailand.

I tried the street food just like rujak. The difference that they used squid except fruits. The sambal quite hot for me. It was delicious. We ate it with looking around. So many people visit Pattaya, some of them played in beach.

I was still hungry. Therefore, we would like to have dinner before the cabaret show. It was also struggle to find halal food. However, near the cabaret area, there was an Indian resto which was quite interesting. Therefore, we tried to eat there.

We order two kebuli and it was so delicious. The best Kebuli I had ever tasted. They used basmati rice mixed with chicken and goat. I thought that the owner was Indian people, so that they had authentic recipe.

Our stomach had been satisfied, then we satisfied our eyes. We were ready to see the show. We just walked to the cabaret building. Wow, the building was almost crowded when we arrived there. The seat was full and not long after we sat, the light was off. The show began.

I was amazed with the show. They sang and danced beautifully. I saw many talents there. They were all beautiful. However, did you know that almost all of them was male? Yeah, they were lady boy. The lady was more pretty than real women. Hahaha.

After the show, the artists was stood in front of building. They were ready to take a picture. However, if you want to take a wefie with them, you should give tips. If you did not, they will not see your camera. They will saw other areas, except your camera. Therefore, we just took her picture from far.

Except pubs and resto, there were many massage service in this street. Who did not know Thai massage? After my long journey, I really wanted to try it. Although it was not cheap (about 50 or 100 Baht), I tried it. Thanks God my friend was agree.

Then we entered to one of the massage service. We were really careful to choose the family massage service. We did not want the “plus” massage. Before we got massage, our feet were washed with warm water.

I smelled the fragrant of aromatheraphy. Hem, i felt relax. Then, we entered the room with many beds which were bordered by curtain. The massage girl asked me to lay down and I got massage. The girl could not speak English, so that I just enjoyed the massage and almost felt asleep. 

We had been massage for about an hour and suddenly my body was felt so light. I felt so sleepy and wanted to go to my room as soon as possible. However, my friend still wanted to explore Pattaya in night. Therefore we were parted ways. I went to the hotel and slept. Sleeping after massage was a heaven.
