Thailand vol.3 - Pattaya

Image
TRANSPORT We got to Pattaya also by renting a car with a driver. We had the car seats for children from Denmark. Some rental companies have also car seats, but sometimes not. The car ride went smoothly, but I got a massive headache from entertaining the kids. Luckily the pharmacies are open almost 24/7 and you can get also prescription drugs there based on your symptoms. Kevin got me some drug and luckily it got better. It is quite challenging to administer massive headache while having active and noisy kids around. 🙈 The Sanctuary of Truth Sunset 💕 HOTEL We stayed in the Amari Hotel in North Pattaya. The hotel was one of the reason, why I wanted to go to Pattaya. 😊 It is the same hotel chain where we stayed in Maldives and Koh Samui. We really enjoyed the breakfast and they had nice set up for kids. It is also one of the hotels, where I am part of the loyalty program and it really paid of as we were assigned room at the members top floors with a great view. Breakfast 🤩 View to the...

Thailand vol 2: Koh Chang

Image
TRAVEL We rented a car with deiver to get to Koh Chang island. We left first of January morning and stayed for a week. It is about 4 hours drive from Bangkok and then about 30 min ferry ride. Since Thailand and Cambodia were having a boarder conflict, there was less tourists than usual, so we did not have to wait long for the ferry. They go like every hour. On a way back there was a bit of a queue, so we waited around an hour. Funny thing was that at the ferry stop I went to toilet with boys and then I heard Estonian language. Apparently there were also some Estonians visiting the island and I heard the language also while walking along the beach. Not so much Danish as Danish ministry had advised against visiting the area. However, there was 0 sign of military conflict. Thailand Dream :) Swinging at the boat trip beach Kevin´s half brothers with their girlfriends also game to the island, but they said in the other hotel. We met up couple of time to eat dinner together.  Morning req...

Thailand vol 1: Pak Chong, Khao Yai & Bangkok

FLIGHTS I need to slowly start writing about our trip to Thailand that took place over Christmas and New Year while I am still remembering it. 😀 Funny to think, that we bought plane tickets already April last year, around the same time I am writing this post. I was so in between if we should wait or buy. The price was already quite expensive for the peak season and I am happy to share that the price did not get cheaper over the time. We bought direct flights from Copenhagen to Bangkok with Thai Airways and Kevin´s brothers with their girlfriends bought connection flights, those were slightly cheaper. The plane tickets cost around 11000 dkk per person (1400 EUR). I must say that the hotels were also more expensive than usually during this peak period. Only cheap thing was still food.😀 Visiting waterfall Xmas on a plane ❣️ TIMING In terms of vacation days from work, it was perfect timing, since I only had to take 10 days of for 3 weeks of vacation. Actually already after 2 weeks, I sta...
