Something on the Side - Side Trips Around Pattaya
Everyone likes a little something on the side. That's what makes the world go 'round.
Doing Pattaya can be darned hard work. Just look at the tired eyes
around during breakfast.
When you need an R & R from Pattaya, consider
an overnight or even several days at a nearby destination.
If you need that getaway but fear sleeping in the dark, air out the
ATM card and take the newfound light-of-your-life along. But make sure
she is not afraid of a sea ferry ride if you decide on one of the island
destinations
We'll start you off easy .. with Koh
Samet and Koh
Chang.
Each destination has its plusses.
Consider making your jaunts midweek rather than weekends. Your destination
will probably be less crowded and accommodations can usually be bargained
better.
We will add destinations from time to time. Or if you have a suggestion or recommendation .. drop us a line.
