Pattaya (芭堤雅), Thailand - Oct 23, 2011

With the flooding situation in Bangkok, Thailand, most of us were only have a day in Pattaya.  We visited Tiger Zoo, had elephant ride and enjoyed Thai Massage. In the Tiger Zoo, you can pad baby Tiger, watch Pig Race and watch the Alligator Show.

After visiting the Zoo, we all had elephant ride.  Originally, we thought that we were riding elephant without special seating,  however, this elephant ride was offered with seating on top of the elephant back. We still enjoyed this special experience.

After lunch, we all headed to Thai Massage.  It was a 2 hours Thai style massage.  It involved some heavy bending and pressing on the legs and back.  Over all, it was an enjoyable treat for all of us. 

We also went to see the Tiffany’s Show featuring the original transvestite cabaret show.  It was a new and different experience for us.

Some of us were a little more adventurous and decided to stay in Pattaya over night and then to travel to Bangkok Airport heading to Taipei earlier.  Majority of us took the safest route via cruising with Diamond Princess to Singapore.
