Advantages: Offers something for everyone, cheap Disadvantages: Not easy on the eye, choose where you stay based on the kind of holiday you want
I am sure, up until the day he died, my husband wondered how he managed to convince me that Pattaya would be a great destination for a family holiday. However, he did manage it and more to the point, our visit was a memorable one. Whilst I cannot say I have any desire to ever go back, I am glad I have seen one of Thailand?s main beach resorts which is the antithesis to more traditional destinations such as Koh Samui or Hua Hin.
Pattaya is often known as ?Bangkok on Sea?, and the town itself is situated just over 100 miles from Bangkok, or about a 90 minute drive away.
We arrived in Bangkok and as ever, spent the first night there attempting to sleep off our jetlag. Next morning found us at the Ekamai bus station purchasing tickets from a woman who was most reluctant to give my husband his change.
We had decided to travel from ...

Advantages: Cheap entrance, lots to see and do, very scenic Disadvantages: None
Myself and my boyfriend visited Bangkok Zoo in October 2007.
Getting there
Bangkok Zoo is easily accessible by public transport. There are bus routes that run directly there or you can get a tuk tuk which is the option we chose. We paid £4 for a return journey to the zoo from our hotel.
Admission Prices
We paid £3.50 each for admission to the zoo which we thought was very reasonable as the zoo is quite large.
Bangkok Zoo
Bangkok Zoo covers 35.2 acres of land and 12 acres of water. It holds nearly 300 mammals, over a thousand birds and nearly 300 reptiles.
We found the zoo to be spacious and relaxing. There is a large lake in the middle of the zoo, and several picnic areas dotted around. Sections of the zoo are joined by bridges which lead you over the lake.
The zoo is split up into sections such as the African Savanah ...

Advantages: Beautiful people, beautiful city. Disadvantages: Being hassled by Tuk Tuk drivers, and being told attractions were closed.
standard as the Merry V Guesthouse is My House, which my sister recommends, and also happens to be right next door!
If you are looking for something a little bit more upmarket then the Sukhumvit Road is probably the area you should be looking at. Even though the rooms are more expensive, you are probably only going to be paying the equivalent of 10-£15 for a nice hotel. (Our second guesthouse cost us the equivalent of about £2!)
THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN BANGKOK
The Grand Palace
The Grand Palace has to be seen to be believed! We were struck by the opulence and scale of the buildings, and the inspiring beauty of the shrines - the most famous of which is the Emerald Buddha. This Buddha is not made of emerald, but jade, and has quite an interesting history that is thought to have started in the northern province of Chiang Mai ...
