Day 2 : Evening Schedule
I take a tuk tuk to go to walking beach or street, its the best way to to reach at walking street / walking beach.
Tuk tuk will charge you only 10 baths from anywhere from north pattaya. (don’t ask charges while booking tuk tuk, just seat, if you asks for charges they will tell you more.)
Tuk Tuk will drop you at walking beach in 10 baths, you can roam around walking beach, Walking beach is full of freelancers, if you are alone or with group don't make any non-sense thing over there.
At the end of the walking beach, walking street starts.
WARNING :
There are lots of girl freelancers in club, which may ask to join you and you also have to pay their bill as well.
I do believe , The walking street is not a good place for family or solo travelers. (Be aware of not getting scammed.)
There is good restaurant called Indian Restaurant At walking street for Indian food.
I had dinner at that restaurant. I ordered Panjabi thali which cost me around 200 baths , after dinner I went to hotel room by tuk tuk , costs me again 10 baths.
Morning Schedule : Coral Island Pattaya (Koh Larn) , Must visit place in Pattaya.
How To reach at Coral Icelands ?
My morning starts without breakfast, I was full , so I decided to grab some snacks from 7-11 store and starts the day.
I booked a tuk tuk from Hotel to walking street and from walking street to Bali Hai Pier, it costs me around 30 Baths.
You have to go to Bali Hai Pier, its a deck to take boat to Coral Iceland.
The best way to go to coral is take ferry boat form Bali Hai Pier to Coral Iceland, costs around 30 baths.
It take around hour to reach at coral Iceland beach, no need to take speed boat, ferry is the cheapest option available.
Once you reach at coral Iceland's, Grab a bike for roaming, Bike owner will take around 300 baths as rent for a bike for whole day - bike with full of fuel. They took your license, as a security.
Take a photograph of the bike from all side before start your journey.
Things to do At Coral Island, Pattaya (Koh Larn)
Afternoon Schedule Day 3 :
Once you take a bike at koh larn, start visiting all beaches, I do prefer time before 11 am to visit coral Iceland, after 11 pm you will experience extreme temperature.
Morning 9 is perfect time to reach coral Iceland to prevent from extreme heat.
Koh Larn -Coral Iceland have total 7 beaches, but no need to visit every beach, there are some hotels also has 7-11 store on island.
Among all beaches, I do like following two beaches,
1. Ko Larn - Nual Beach
2. Tien Beach
Veg option is not much available, you can ask for French fries at beach or it has 7-11 stores at beach you can buy food there.
I have ordered a veg dish at Tien beach , which was completely disaster, so I recommend a juice or french fries for veg people, those who are non-vegetarian , you can explore as much you can.
If you want to seat at beach side in shack, it will cost you around 100 baths, for as much time you want.
I had food at Tien Beach, but if you want to spend quality time ,
I would recommend the Nual beach, which is less crowded and you can take nice pictures over there.
I spent about 4 hours on Iceland visiting almost every beach.
The last ferry boat from coral iceland to Pattaya is at 5 pm, if you missed it then you hardly have any option to go back to Pattaya.
While returning to Pattaya , it will cost you 30 baths !
Costs you 60 Baths !
Pay 300 bath for bike and ride whole day !
Just spend 100 baths and shak is yours !
Evening Scheduled - Day 3 : Visiting Clubs At Walking Street !
Day 3 : Evening Scheduled
After visiting Coral Islands, I get back to hotel with tuk tuk and took rest for hour.
Last night I have just roam around the walking beach and the street. so, today I decided to visit the clubs in walking street.
I started the evening with famous, PadThai Dish.
I didn't tried any Thai food, since I came to Thailand. So I decided to taste it near by food stall.
Basically, PadThai's main ingredient is seafood, but I never tried the scallops, squid and octopus in my life, so I decided not to experiments and I order veg PadThai. The food was amazing.
after having food, I went to walking street, by tuk tuk with 10 baths.
On walking street there are more than 100 clubs in whole lane. You can go to following clubs :
Jannat Club , Boss Clubs , Nasha Club , Jalawa Club
You can go to any of these clubs, there is no entry charges but, the moment you enter into club they ask you to buy drink. (Min. drink cost : 500 baths.)
If you don't want to spend any money, you can take a walk inside club and exit the club, no one will ask you.
WARNING :
The moment you entered in club , their staff will approach you immediately and will ask you to grab a seat or take a table or sofa.
Be aware of not getting scammed or fooled by sharing drink with unknown person.
There are lots of freelancers inside club, they might invite you to join their table, if you do so, you have to pay their bill as well.
There are also Russian clubs, ping pong clubs at walking street,
which I suggest no to go alone, you must have someone with you who already know about these clubs, they might charge you huge amount if you even take photograph inside club and you can't argue with them.
I do believe, Its not the right place to bring any family member at walking beach neither at walking street, you might experienced unwanted dialogs and behavior of people.
Don't carry any valuables things with you !

Today, I planned to visit Safari World, Bangkok, which starts with 800 bath entry charges.

I decided to go with metro because, In bolt app, it was showing more that 500 baths taxi charges from my hostel to destination, bike ride was also showing high rates, about 350 bath for single journey.
So, I decided to go with metro, there is a Ratchathewi metro station outside of hostel, so I quickly grab the metro, I have to change the two metros and after taking bike ride, I will reach at safari world.
While, changing the metro, I was reading information about Safari World, I get to know that, it closed on Monday and surprisingly, it was Monday.
I have no clue till that time which day it was, I have stop looking at days and making schedule by considering dates only.
So, I stopped travelling towards, Safari world and decided to roam around the station which named Wat Phra Si Mahathat, which is around 20 km away form my hostel.
Well, the decision was not that bad, I witnessed beautiful Buddhist temple.
The Atmosphere and surrounding was supberb, lots of trees and birds, I roam around this place for one hour and started to journy back to my hostel.
Good part of my hostel is, its near by Ratchathewi and phaya thai metro, so I can go anywhere without walking much.
I came back to hotel around 3 pm and took a rest till evening.

After visiting this place, I came back to khaosan road and its more crowded than earlier, I was feeling hungry so I ordered fried rice on some food stall, the food was not that good, but don't have any choice, it costs me around 80 baths.
