.....To Uncountable memories, travel
experience, emotions... !!
This trip was a celebration. Not only, because
it was an international holiday, but also because the company - Mindfire
Solutions had reached a milestone.
Our trip was planned for 2 days and 2 nights
at Pataya City, Thailand and 2 Days and 1 Night at Bangkok, Thailand. The
anticipation for holidaying in Pataya has never been witnessed with people than,
that of the trip to Pattaya and Bangkok.
Before we embarked to the Thailand - Land of
Smiles, we witnessed the new, renovated and marvelous new Indira Gandhi International, (IGI) airport. The place has been beautifully
done and has every reason to be awed about.

We reached Swarnabhumi Airport early morning, and everyone was super excited. The best thing about Thailand is that the people are so friendly and mostly passive in nature. So, if you need a helping hand they will do their best to assist or point you in the right direction.

Arriving in Bangkok feels like slipping on a well-worn leather shoe. It's so easy, familiar and friendly - yet exciting and full of surprises. No two days are ever the same.
The first experience shall always be unforgettable.

We returned from the party and decided to viz-a-viz with the much talked about Night Life at Pataya City. Walking Street - the reason why we have Pataya City, tagged "Naughty”.

Thai restaurants, nightclubs and massage International and Thai restaurants, humble street stalls, nightclubs, discotheques, beer and go-go bars are plentiful.After 6.30pm Walking Street is pedestrianised but as the night goes on its very busy.
We also enjoyed Thai foot massage, at a easy cost, before returning late to our hotel.

We all returned with excitement and happy faces, yet some sadness amongst us. The next day was to leave Pataya and reach Bangkok. No one wanted to leave Pataya, again for obvious reasons.
The morning drive to Bangkok city was exciting and sleepy.

Bangkok is known for its chaotic, crowded streets, cheap food, cheap clothes, wild nightlife and traffic.

The day was planned for visiting the temples that Bangkok is famous for. We started with the visit to Wat Traimit, Temple of the Golden Buddha and then visited Wat Pho, Temple of the reclining Buddha. You can share the experience, from the pictures.

And finally, it was time to take good sleep for the long day ahead. The next day was to relax and board the flight for home.
The next morning, we all packed our bags and check-out. We all boarded the buses and went to visit and shop at MBK Bangkok's Market famous for electronic goods and the Platinum Mall, famous for clothes and fashionaire.
Perhaps travelling with friends can never be put into words. This was one such trip - for, everyone cry, laughed, ate and make merry all at the same time. They discover the best of the world and best of the companion with them. The experience was wild and wonderful in its own way. Indeed, everyone will carry, this beautiful trip, dear to heart.
