I had a one full week Songkran vacation.. so like 9 days off, yay! However, we did not go to a far place, just 3 hours away from Bangkok(30 minutes from Pattaya) is a place called Sattahip. We usually go to this homestay (forgot the name again)that rents out for 500 baht a night and there we can cook food and grill fish. We love staying there as its lenient and the caretakers are nice plus the rooms are clean and neat as well. Only drawback is that there is no free wifi.. but then with 500 bucks, who cares!
However, on the 2nd night, we decided to stay at Ambassador Hotel, a few minutes drive from that homestay. Ambassador Hotel is a big hotel with several towers, but in our case, we booked for the cheapest one, 1000 baht for a small room with breakfast included. What a total disappointment, we stayed in the Inn Tower but the room is really small and the furnitures are old and it's like a tenement.
But then, the beach is just walking distance (and they have shuttle) plus the outside is picturesque, so it's okay.
There are several swimming pools and there is one big pool beside the main building.
That night, we had dinner in Royal Garden Plaza in Pattaya and had a glimpse of Ripley's.
Went home tired and slept on a very soft bed. After breakfast, swimming time again for Sean.
Then back to Bangkok again...
