Thailand (Day 2)
Day 2 started off a bit late… with Liat Beng’s ring tone irritating all of us… followed by liatbeng drawing the curtains…ahhh sunlight =(
We were late for our appointment with phorn’s dad at 10pm in a mall… we reached there at 11 i think… natha’s brother fetched us there (his extremely nice…) walked one big round to get into the shopping center as we were dropped at the carpark… met ratchaphorn’s parents and we made our way to the car…poor nabil dint have a seat… and therefore he had to sit between two seats… with a panda for a little bit of support… nevertheless it must have been an uncomfortable 2h+ journey for him… to PATTAYA
reached pattaya… where natha told me that we could go HORSE RIDING… on the beach… oooh i was lookin forward to that… one year since i have been on a horse…. but before making our way to the beach, we needed to have lunch… i wasnt really starving but still some food wouldnt kill :D…. went to this place which is famous for its papaya salad … wonder how they knew it was famous for papaya salad… the restaurant was FILLED…. and there was a sculpture of a motar and pestle outside to tell the whole world its signature dish…. phorns parents did the ordering…. and we helped clear up the table… that is what happens when the restaurant is too popular… they dont have enough cleaners… but their food was great…. started off which deep fried chicken wings… wow so crispy and delicious 
cant remember what was next but we had… papaya salad with raw crabs… papaya salad with peanuts… mussles in garlic(which nabil loves)…. tom yum soup… cant rmb what else… but what i can rmb was that were totally full!!!… haiz couldnt go into the beach =( but that was ok… it was like 2-3 pm in the afternoon…i did not intend to bake myself under the sun… took a drive to the beach… it was high tide… =( that meant no horse riding… anyway i was still too full to ride a horse… so it dint disappoint me… pattaya is so different from ecp… its sand is a bit more course… and the whole beach is filled with shades and beach chairs… went to a table and sat around it… :D…. the beach is filled with two main activites… jet skiing and banana boating….after walking up and down the beach to find the best price for banana boating, we decided to stick with the first person we saw… lol actually joel liat beng nabil and me were just following natha n phorn… we had to act like thais… which mean we couldnt speak.. hahaz…. anyway by the time we walked back, we were ready for it!…. haha for those of you who dont know what happens during banana boating, let me give u a brief description….5 people get onto this float that is in the shape of a banana…. the float is dragged by a boat and the objective of the boat rider is to make sudden turns and make the float capsize… well since it was my 1st time sitting the banana boat, i had no idea how bad it is to capsize… so the 1st time it happened, some one pushed me down to float!… lucky were all wearing life vest so we floated in the end… but it was freaky being pushed down into the water… we took turns sitting at the front of the float…. here are some highlights of the 30min ride….
1. Liat Beng fell off the banana boat ALONE… since he was the last, no one realised… so when the captain of the boat asked if everything was ok natha said YES!
2. After being in the front for such a long time….. i decided that i should not let go of my position without a struggle… therefore when i fell, i grabbed onto the handle and was dragged on the water….(according to liat beng)
After banana boating, we wanted jet skiing! phorns dad helped us with the negotiations and soon we had two jet skis
Nothing much to say about jet skis else then they really make u scared…. hahaz
and natha TRYING to be cool… made a few tight turns which caused nabil n him to fall off the jet ski….
By then it was dusk… took our shower and went for dinner…. with joel desperately trying to take pictures….
dinner was at this seafood place…. LOTS OF FOOD…. we even had like one medium sized crab to ourself…. wah after eating… i felt so full…. so on the way back to bangkok…. we all slept in the car… else then joel… he kept leaning forward…. not sure y… :S
ok im tired…. day 3 wud have to wait… bb
