Hi all,
Well at long last it has come to my time to write a trip report as I have just(3 hours ago) returned from my maiden trip to Pattaya.
I will have to say that I am no great wordsmith, nor do I write a good story, so please bare with me if I go astray or at times it seems a little out of order! I will give it my best shot at getting it right first time and try to keep it entertaining for you all.
Before my trip I have not been a well man, I have had two years off of work due to heart problems, and the week leading up to my trip I found myself in hospital twice so this was to be a relaxing holiday for me and the mongering must be kept at a sensible lever unfortunately!
At 06.00 on the 11th October My friend came to pick me up to take me to Heathrow to catch my flight to BKK. We reached the airport at 09.00 as traffic is always heavy at this time in the morning and I had taken his in to account as my flight time was not until 12.30.
After checking in I returned out to my friend for a few fags before it was time to head for customs and my flight to heaven!
I flew with Thai-air and it was great really! I only went cattle class this time but it was more than comfortable for me really and the service was amazing!
During the flight we had two meals served, a main meal first and then breakfast just before we landed. I must say that I had a beef curry for my main meal and it is one of the best curries I have ever had! it was just simply amazing in depth of flavor and just so unexpected!
When I got to BKK I had pre-booked Mr T taxi and he was exactly where he said he would be, so after a quick fag we set off to Pattaya and The Canterbury Tales.
The driver did not hang about and done 140 kph for most of the trip, he was a really nice bloke and we had a little chat on the trip there.

I got to The Canterbury Tales at about 08.15 and although Dave was not there, there was no problem with checking in. I was shown the room that had everything you need in it, a telly, A/C, dvd, kettle, fridge, big bed and it's own toilet and shower, and then was left to try and get some sleep as had been traveling for 20+ hours. I gave it about an hour of trying to get to sleep before I got up and went for a little walk around LK metro. It was still only 09.30, so there was very little happening in the Soi, but I was excited to go and see some of the places I have read about for so long! On turning in to LK Metro I was greeted to my first call of 'hey sexy man where you go?' to which I had a huge grin on my face!
I will leave it here for now as I feel I have gone on a little already! Here is a couple of pics from my balcony at Canterbury Tales
