After a rather dissappointing and very brief stop in Kuala Lumpur, we escaped to Jomtien which is just south of Pattaya and much less chaotic. We’ve spent above budget on some decent accommodation after the horrors of KL and can now unpack and relax for a few days.
We picked up a motorbike to run around on so we have freedom to explore and at a cost of $10 AUD per day it’s the most economical way of getting around.
There is plenty of cheap eats available in the local restaurants nearby and I can indulge my obsession with papaya salads and salted eggs to my hearts content…ie at least once a day…
One day we headed off to the “Sanctuary of Truth” Museum which boasts been the target wooden castle in the world Sanctuary of Truth…no nails used in the construction. It’s certainly impressive and worth a walk around – just remember to escape from the tour guide who is trying to usher 100 people around together as soon as you can…everyone has a little band to wear to show you’ve paid anyway so it’s not a problem do a runner and wander around freely.
