Along with the beach walk, there are various fun activities on the beach, white soft sand. In front of the wide blue sea. Small colorful boats in it. Behind the hills covered with green. If this is the place to visit, how can you not be impressed? Such is the beauty of the coral island of Pattaya, the sea city of Thailand.
The organization is private airline Regent Airways. 5 days trip to Thailand. I am one of the journalist team of 27 people. After coming from Chittagong to Bangkok, it was difficult to suppress the strong desire to go to Pattaya. Because I have heard many stories about the beauty of Pattaya. Finally, last December 9 journey. Destination Pattaya.
Departure from Sukumvit at nine in the morning. The smooth way. The beautiful Buddhist temples of the country surrounded by mountains came into view. Within two hours, I reached Pattaya, 175 kilometers from Bangkok. The car stopped near the beach. small beach Neat, neat. Rows of trees of different species along the road. 'Pattaya' is written in English capital letters on the distant hill.
As the sun rises, the number of tourists is less. This city sleeps during the day and wakes up at night. However, those who intend to go to the coral island, have to leave at this time. On that occasion, several people were found with us. Most are Indians. Everyone will go to the coral island 17 kilometers from Pattaya. They are busy bargaining with the engine boat workers. We do not have this risk. The officials of Regent Holidays had arranged everything in advance. Just the time it took to board the boat.
After traveling for 10 minutes, the boat stopped at a jetty in the middle of the sea. From where tourists can see the sea by parachuting. The joy of flying in the sky and seeing the sea is different. Seeing all this, the boatman (boatman) called out. I got on the boat. This time, the boat went a little further and stopped next to a small two-story launch. Scuba driving can be done from here. Many are coming down to see the world under the sea. After the water rises, the eyes are like the satisfaction of winning the sea.
Pattaya Coral Island Now on the way to the main destination Coral Island. After a while the boat stopped at the white sand. Stepping into the blue water is a different feeling. Clear water, clean surroundings. How much will this beach be? A whopping 500 yards. But thousands of tourists are running in it. That's their excitement. Someone is busy taking pictures. Someone is swimming in salt water. Small waves do not have to get much speed. Many are doing a round on the beach bike. Mountain climbing is also available. Without delay we also went down into the water.
After getting tired of splashing in the water, I came to the shore and sat under the umbrella. Big guavas and ripe mangoes are sold there. I filled my stomach with what I got at hand. Now start walking along the beach. Rows of shops. Some have food, some have bags-sandals and various things. The circuit was completed in 10 minutes.
After a while the phone rang. I returned to the boat. I looked at the clock and it was almost two o'clock. I did not notice how two hours passed. After everyone boarded, the boat headed to Pattaya again.
Now it's lunch. Eat at an Indian restaurant across the street. After visiting Pattaya for a while, I took the road to Bangkok. But the night colorful Pattaya that was not seen! Let him have happy memories of coral island.
