Short trip to Pattaya Thailand

pattaya beach thailand.the rocks on Koh Larn.the garbage on Koh Larn
i love to jet ski.zach is jet skiing

Headed on a small trip 2 hours taxi away from Bankok to Pattaya Beach, Thailand for the weekend, stayed in an awesome hotel, Sabai Resort on 2nd Road. Has wireless internet in the lobby so I could work, and is VERY near Pattaya Beach area, and was a very reasonable price.

But anyways, I took a small boat trip to the island Koh Larn, it has very clear beach water, and small little huts and restaurants there, nice to relax, but the real reason I wanted to go was for the jet skiing hehehehe. I had to get my fix, I think I’m becoming a pro at it now!!! So much fun!

Songkran Festival Thailand, Thai New Year

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

.

Today I just participated in the Songkran Festival here in Bangkok Thailand and it was a freaking BLAST!!!!!!!

The pics sucked really bad, I took my camera, though it was very stupid of me, since you can NOT avoid getting 110% drenched by all the buckets of water, and powder mix stuff that gets smeared and drenched all over yourself.

Definately was a blast and I plan to go back to the festival tomorrow aswell :)

Club Pump party, Budyong Beach, Bantayan Island Philippines

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

our HOT ass tent.the beach
zach and the beach.club pump party flyer

Club Pump had a really badass party during Holy Week at Budyong Beach Resort in Bantayan Island Philippines. It was on the beach, mostly only locals, filipinos attend. This was a badass party, with live bands, swimming, hot bikini girls contests (and guys contests too haha).

BUT!!! The downside that ruined the entire fun of it was that the little cottage rooms were fully booked, so we had to rent our tent, which was VERY hot, could NOT sleep it was so hot, and had to wait in line for the shower, or to use the toilet (toilets had no seats by the way). So that was semi disasterous!

Next year will be 100x’s better when we get ourselves little cottage on the beach with personal bathroom and showers.

But anyways…….

Nothing much to do so headed over to Ferdinand Magellan’s Cross here in Lapu-Lapu Cebu, Philippines. This marks the site where Magellan was reportedly killed.

Not too exciting but still, it’s something hehe, part of history.
