Today is a mini blog – time zone differences made a chunk of today go away! Our flight from Zurich to Bangkok was again relatively uneventful – we walked wistfully past the comfy business class seats this time. I can’t say I slept anywhere near as well in our economy seats! I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, read a bit of A Clash of Kings but mostly I just tried to sleep for the 10.5 hours.
We arrived in Bangkok around 3pm and found our transfer – a chartered car all the way to Pattaya. This trip took just over an hour and staying awake was a mighty struggle. Eventually we arrived at the ‘Rabbit Resort’. It sounds perhaps a little dodgy but it’s lovely and tropical, with two pools and a big spacious room with a kitchen and two double beds. It also takes its ‘rabbit theme’ seriously – there are rabbits on the towels, a tiled rabbit at the bottom of the pool, hedges shaped like rabbits…and we were given a small pink stuffed rabbit upon check in!
Andy and I very much enjoyed our showers and just chilling in our room for a long time. Eventually we meandered along the beach to find some dinner – we found a lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Time for our first Thai food for the trip (plus a Pina Colada for me!). And back to the hotel by 8.30pm! The prospect of just relaxing for a couple of nights is very appealing indeed!
