Safely arrived at 8pm (Thailand time) Don Mueng International Airport and had smoothly met up with the local transport coordinator. It will be a 2.5 hr journey from Airport to our destination at Sattahip, Chonburi. Along the way we took a quick McDonald Dinner.

Finally reached the very rural resort - Bann Pictory Resort, we booked this after reading the good rating and reviews from tripadvisor, it was very dark and we were drove into the hidden resort, was quite scary especially you can hardly see any soul. The staffs were waiting for our arrival to assist us with the check in, probably because it was a weekday and not fully booked, we will given a free upgrade to a villa room instead of garden and kids will have free breakfast. It was already late at 11pm, we took a shower, settle down and take a good sleep for tomorrow programmes.

Good morning and we were greeted by the natural surrounding which looks great! Completely different feel from the previous night when everything was dark and seems deserted. Since the breakfast will be half an hour more, while waiting, we went around to take photos of this cottage feel resort from the normal urban city.

We were greeted by the French owner Mr Antony, he was such wonderful and warm guy. The breakfast was individual served.
HOORAY, finally time for kids having fun!
AMAZONE - Cartoon network theme park
Though the theme park was consider near as the location of the resort is quite near to a few attraction in this area, but we still need to engage a driver to send and fetch us back as walking will be too far and tedious especially under the hot weather in Thailand. We are lucky today is a sunny day, though a bit too hot but better than raining.
It was a rather big theme park, the attraction you can find as follows:

Elephant Show Time
Part III - Khao Chi Chan Buddha
I first read about this "Mountain Buddha" and browsed through photos from the internet and the thoughts was I definitely have to come face to face to witness this spectacular Buddha craved on the mountain.
Wow, very impressive sight and it was huge.

Day 3 - Bangkok City
After breakfast, we headed to Bangkok. It was again a 2.5 hours journey to the busy Capital of Thailand. Along the way, we dropped by to take photos at Wat Yansangwararam Pattaya, one of the most significant temples in the Pattaya area because it comes under the patronage of His Majesty The King.

We choose to stay at Baiyoke Sky Hotel each time we are in Bangkok, this time we booked a superior suite.
ASIATIQUE- Asiatique has successfully combined two of the most popular shopping experiences in the city: a night bazaar and a mall. Ten minutes downriver from Saphan Taksin BTS station this once-bustling international trade port has been transformed, with over 1,500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under a huge replica warehouse complex.
Had our meal at Asiatique, too bad the boat ride start at 4pm so we decided to proceed to the next destination.

Erawan Shrine This is a must must to visit for my husband, every time we visited Bangkok, this is definitely the one we have to pay a visit without miss.
Erawan Shrine in Bangkok is Brahman, not strictly Buddhist. And yet, this famous shrine attracts more visitors than many of the city's temples. It was erected during the mid 1950s, after the Thai government had decided to build the luxury Erawan Hotel on this location.

Delightful Disney-themed Christmas scenes seen at Central WorldAs usual, Bangkok City is always experiencing heavy traffic jam, so we walked back to our hotel which is only a 20 mins walk. We happened to pass by Central world and the kids simply couldn't wait to take photos with all these Disney characters decoration.
How can we missed out a ride on Tuk Tuk in Thailand
