Pattaya. Pattaya. Pattaya. The resort town without a real beach. What? Yup. Here’s the Pattaya they show you at the travel agency to get you there.

And then here is the truth about the beach. Its MAYBE 12 feet of actual beach. Room as you can see for only ONE or TWO beach chairs.

What a great place to kill time and your hangover before you go back out to the girly bars.

Departure Tax - 700 Baht for international flights. The tax must be paid before you check in.

This feels just like the toll booth at the IL/WI border. Before you get onto the well-maintained free roads of WI lets just pinch a little more from your purse.

John: You have to love a city with an elevated train system. The Skytrain will save us both time and money over taxis, with tickets around 60 cents and stops near all the attractions.  Since we don’t have any REAL plans I think we’ll probably end up wandering this system for a couple days.
