Pattaya Thursday

Today was a relaxing day. We got up after a whopping 3 hours sleep (for me) and headed to the yummy bfast buffet at the hotel. Then we ventured out to the streets of Pattaya.
WOW. It is an interesting city. We ended up on the main street where all the bars are, and thought "I can only imagine this place at night" as the day time was very interesting people watching.

For those of you not familiar with Pattaya, it is known for its prostitution and STDs. Nice place to get married ;) It is VERY common to have young Thai women all over men here and they are commissioned to how much the men drink, and hopefully go home with them. The stories have been interesting, and due to jet lag we are in the hotel instead of back to that street tonight. BUT tomorrow - we will be there. H and I decided that while all the guys get the attention from the young girls, we compete to see who can spot the he/she's the best...as they are very common too.

We stopped in and got a Thai Massage (in my 1000 things you must do before you die book, it says this is a must). So for $6us ($199 bat), we got 60minutes of amazing Thai massage. Yes, you read that right - $6! I will be going back, it was wonderful! :)

Tonight we went to a place on the beach for dinner. Chantana (Maks fiance, who is Thai), ordered for us... which made me put my "when in Rome" hat on and try new things. I was doing my best to get some good food porn, but it was pretty dark, and as I use my phone to upload photos here ... they are not great.

I tried crab, liked it.
I tried Prawns, and I liked those too!! Who knew...especially with the super spicy Thai peppers on them. I felt a little bad ripping their tails off - but once I did it - look out - I had about 4 of them :)

FB cleaned up the places (see below). He was on a role, I wish I had his stomach lining :)

Heading to bed now. Tomorrow morning we are meeting up with Maks siblings and some other guests to go to the Elephant Sanctuary at 9am. I am hoping a good nights sleep will kick jet lags as*

Good night!
