A vacation is all I need
to refresh my mind and soul. Yes you may consider me a wandering soul because I
simply love to go around. I have traveled a lot of places and they all were in
India since this month I got a chance for an international trip. It was a
surprise gift from Mr. Hubby on our 5th anniversary. He planned a trip to
Pattaya. Yes you head me right. It was the sea calling and I couldn’t deny.
It was a
4 days and 3 night’s vacation. Mr. Hubby had planned the trip well keeping
every single detail in mind. He told me that we were going to Shimla as usual
this year too and our flight would leave on 13th evening. 14th was a spare day
and 15th was the “D” day. I was excited, like I said you earlier I am a
wayfarer soul and travelling is my passion. Though it was a surprise for me I
didn’t know about his plans until we reached the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
airport and instead of going to the domestic airport he asked the cab to stop
at the international airport. He is a genius I had no clue when did he get the
tickets and when did he took out my passport out of the almira. I was on the
9th cloud and the excitement of going for an International vacation was the
real head Turner for me.
We
reached the airport and first located our airlines we were travelling by. It
was Thai Airways we were travelling by. We got our luggage scanned and submitted it
to the airline counter. The very next thing was getting our currency exchanged.
We exchanged our Rupees to Bhatt. Then we took our boarding pass and
moved to immigration. We got our handbags and laptop bag checked at the
security counter and now we were both personally and legally ready to fly to
Bangkok, Pattaya.
We were
going to and at Suvarnabhumi International Airport at Bangkok and we were
supposed to get our VISAS on arrival. The itenary for the rest of the trip
was as follows.
Day 1
Check in at the Monna’s Place, Chan buri after pickup from the airport. The
evening was free and we were free to wander around and explore the new city.
Day 2
8:00 am pickup
from the hotel to the beach. Where a speed boat was supposed to drop us at the
water sports activity dock.
12:00 pm pickup
from the dock and drop to the Coral Island and lunch.
14:00 pickup
from the island drop to the hotel. Rest of the time was free time for us. And
in this free time we roamed around tasting the Thai cuisine and hopping the
street bazars. We also visited the “Walking Street” and I got a splendid foot
massage too and then we called it a day.
Day
3 8:00 Pickup from the hotel for the city tour, Visit to
the Gem Gallery, Lunch by the noon in an Indian restaurant and finally visit to
the Pattaya tower. The Pattaya tower was a 55 store building. We got an opportunity
to take a full view of the Pattaya city and the Sea. We also did the tower jump
from the 55th floor of the tower.
18:00 drop back to the hotel.
18:30 pickup
from the hotel for the world famous “Alcazar Show” and then dinner and finally
drop to the hotel.
Day 4 10:00 Pickup from the Hotel. Check out and drop to the
airport.
These four days were so amazing and we enjoyed them at the
fullest. It was an amazing experience to wander shop and visit a different
country. All the credit goes to him for the trip and it was the best anniversary
ever. I will definitely have more of international vacations soon.
