I had come back from my 5 days 4 nights Thailand trip. After resting for 2 days, now I had finally recovered. Yesterday my whole body was aching. Think it was because I walked too much..:p
This was quite a fun trip because we had 8 people in total (my colleague and I + 6 PRC operators). Sometimes we had some opinions in the places that we wanted to go, but we were still able to compromise each other. And, I was considered as the “Tour Guide” for this trip. So, most of the time, they would follow my suggestion. Hee hee…
This was my first time to Bangkok. Actually I don’t really like there as the air there is dirty. The traffic there is terrible. Always jam. But the taxi fare is cheap (by meter) and the colours of the taxis are very colourful. The things there are cheap if you go to the markets. However, you must bargain, bargain and bargain. If not, you will be like kena cheated. Many fake things there. The first time I went to the market. I was very excited. After going to so many markets, I felt bored as the things are almost the same. But the things at the markets are really cheap. You can earn double or triple if you can bring some back to sell..hee…
Regarding Thai, basically they can communicate using simple English. However, some are totally cannot communicate. We only can use the “universal” language, sign language, to communicate. Sometimes really like 鸡同鸭讲. We faced some bad Thais. They tried to bluff us by telling us that the places that we wanted to go were not open and tried to divert us to go to other places so that they can earn money. We were cheated by the Tuk-tuk driver and one of the taxi driver also. The taxi driver requested us to pay for 150 Baht to go back to our hotel while actually the actual fare was only 60 Baht. Haiz… Never mind, these are experiences. “Use some money to gain experience”. This is what we always think to pacify us..haha..
We went to Pattaya also. Pattaya is not as busy as Bangkok. The most crowded place is at the beach. They are many ang moh sun-tanning there. I tried to ride motorboat with my colleague there. This was the first time I ride motorboat. It was fun. However, we dropped into the sea while we were trying to turn. I was not very scared maybe because I was not the only one inside the sea. At that moment, I just felt that why nobody come to save us and how long should we need to float inside the sea. Luckily, my another colleague’s boat was nearby and they tried to save us. Although we all were wet, the feeling was still quite good. I think I won’t forget this experience… Quite exciting…Because of this, I donated my 100 Baht sunglasses and my hair clip to the sea. :(
In Pattaya, we also went to watch the Tiffany Show (人妖歌舞表演). Actually those 人妖 are not very pretty but their figures are very good and they are very fair. However, I felt that the show was actually not very fantastic. Maybe I was too tired. That’s why I never really enjoyed the show. The stage decoration and their clothing are very grand. Can feel that they have put in effort to make the show successful. Anyway, it was just for an experience…
Bangkok, maybe I won’t go back again unless I have free ticket. However, I am still interested in going to other provinces of Thailand like Hat Yai or Chiang Mai. Heard that Hat Yai is a good place to go also..hee hee…
