Nusa Playa Hotel&Spa Pattaya

So golf told us(after a few beers) that we had to visits this place and see how beautiful it was for ourselves, so we did!
As soon as we walked in the park there were elephants trekking around the park.We jumped on the tour bus which was about 40p and had a hour long tour around the park to see all of the gardens,flowers and exotic pants (oh and a fake stone henge).

After sweating about a pint of water,we went into this arena ...

... sign up in the hills just like the Hollywood sign. There's skyscrapers and it actually reminds me a bit of Sydney, excluding the opera house. We took a longboat that brought us to a larger boat that goes 45 minutes out to Coral Island, named for its coral of course. You can do para-sailing, jet-skiing, and underwater walking around all the coral where you can see all the pretty fish and what-not, but we were both broke ...

... in with gold. We visited one of the beautiful temples which was a whopping 200 steps to the top which mark ran!!! there was a very impressive view fromthe top. After checking the ferry times for the next day we headed back to the house for a cheese and ham sandwich and of course a cup of real tea!!
the next day we headed for coral island, which is short ferry ride from pattaya pier. The ...

... egg or weird brown cinnamon hard-boiled egg. For lunch we got 4 or 5 containers of food - way too much to eat. Always, white rice with some other mixed meats and veggies or soup or something strange. Our last day we each got 2 fish with their heads still on. I had to pass on that one. My favorite was when I got some type of soup with what I could easily tell was a chicken neck in it. You never know what to expect and Brian and I ALWAYS got ...

... down on you while your husband is out having fun with his Nia-Noi, his second wife or maybe philandering in the local bordello with his mates while getting Mau on cheap moonshine whiskey expecting you to have dinner ready when he will get home. My bottle of Kloster beer is cold to the touch, the Doors are blaring away on the sound system, Manchester playing the English League on a 60 inch flatscreen, bar girls giggling when their behinds get pinches by drunk Scots in kilts ...

... didn't bode well for the 3 hour minibus to Bangkok. I kept the Window down and had a very uncomfortable journey, luckily keeping everything that needed to go outside outside. When we arrived in Bangkok we had a bone to pick with the Travel agents who had sold us such a load of rubbish. In a very Gav Walker, Cliff Webb and Bobby Stodel fashion we let them know exactly what we thought of the hotel and their misguided advice. We managed to get some money ...
