finally Thailand ....... Bangkok-Phuket-Pattaya-Bangkok, 03-12 April 2015

After over 3 years of planning and 8 months on booking tickets finally landed in Bangkok. 
Reached DMK airport during early hours on 03 April 2015. Arrival got really delayed as we opted for Visa-on-Arrival which was a BIG mistake. People from so called developing countries like Asia, Arabia, etc shall need to go through this tiresome process if you don't have a visa.

03 April 2015
hired a taxi to reach Tsang ka resort and Spa which was close to BKK airport around 6 AM.
First feel of Thailand was all follow traffic rules and there are no speed breakers.
went to sukhumvit road -- explored a bit and had lunch at Burger king. Roamed around THE DISTRICT and returned to hotel.

04 April 2015
set out around noon  after having lunch by train to get a feel of outskirts of Bangkok. returned to hotel by 6 PM as we had a flight to Phuket later.

05 April 2015
reached Phuket around mid-night and reached Tiger-Inn around 2 AM or so. Got up around noon after a nice sleep. went to Dang Restaurant (best place to have fresh juice).
Later went to Aussie divers to inquire about scuba-diving. Met their staff and one of them took us to test-dive in a pool near-by. After which, passed through Bangla Walking street and ended the day with red wonderful sight of sunset in Patong beach. 




I explored few places around the hotels by foot and booked for one of Island tour for next day. Later we went to local market; had fruit yogurt which was delicious.
