Pattaya Park

Finally, after almost 3 years in Pattaya, I made it to Pattaya Water Park, in the shadow of the giant tower thingy on top of that whats-its-name hotel. Mike and Reeza were going to join us, but they got floored with a cold, and spent the day in bed. (Well, there could be worse things than to spend a day in bed with Reeza. Spending a day in bed with Mike comes to mind. Heheh.)

Since Maid Go's relatives were at the house, I decided to invite them along instead, making us 6 adults and 1 pint-sized Pot. Total of 650 baht to get in. (At least Pattaya Park doesn't charge a different price for Farangs as compared to Thais.)

It's definitely a nice place to spend an afternoon with kids. There is a monstrous knee-deep pool for toddlers, and an even larger, river-like "flowing pool" (i.e. the pool has a current to it) that is quite nice to just wander around in. There are also 6 water slides, a roller coaster, a monorail, and a couple of other rides to enjoy, but we all took a pass on those.

We brought Pot's innertube and he floated along with me around the flowing pool, and then I set him loose in the toddler's pool where he splashed around having a great time. (It was only a week ago that he was afraid of the water, remember.)

Pui and Go and family brought a big ol' pile of food, and we feasted as well. After 3 hours, we went home. It's also nice because Pattaya Park is only about 5 minutes away from my house. It's a quick getaway for a day in the sun.
