Here's a shot of their fantastic swimming pool. It's a pretty cool novelty as half the pool has got a tiled floor, with the other half with a sandy bottom. I suppose if you sat around on the beach long enough one could acquire a sandy bottom as well.
The room is compact but comfy, from balcony to shower stall the whole space can be opened up to enjoy the view. The themed interiors don't hold back one bit, with a larger than life Elvis plastered on the headboard.
We made sure to do the tourist thing by walking into the hotel souvenir shop, gawking at the prices, then retreating out into the sunshine again.
We also did a fair bit of eating. Here is Kanittha about to devour an enormous breakfast at the hotel.
When I used to live near Pattaya (in Banglamung, Chonburi), I was only a few minutes away from this structure called The Sanctuary of Truth. So when we were there, Kanittha and I went to visit.
Not only is this all-wooden structure immense, the detailing is incredibly rich. Every single surface has been intricately carved... with the exception of the floors, but they might just get around to doing that eventually.
Here is Kanittha posing beside the carving of the family that greets guests at the main entrance foyer leading to the main hall of the building.
Not that my wife is very tall, but it helps give you a sense of scale when you see her posed up against one of the statues inside the building. No photo manipulation in this one, this is an actual un-retouched photograph.
