Day 3 (Nongprue, Bang Lamung)

Bottled drinking water is essential here. Be it for drinking purposes or for cooking. I noticed the water was fast diminishing in the big bottle last night. Just need hubby to fill it up before he goes to work. Before, in Khlong Nueng, we could just go down and fill the bottles at a water dispensing machine, but not here, since it's quite far to walk out.

It's not advisable for us to drink piped water over here. So, do bring along your water bottles or your Tupperware tumbler (ohh...you can get a tumbler from me. Click here or here!!) when travelling around.

Dinner was taken at a road-side stall. Khao mok (sort of nasi minyak), chicken rice and kuetiaw soup. 160 Baht for 4 persons + 1 saiklong (tapau). The stall is located along the road where Masjid al Ikhsan is located, again off Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya. Stopped by at a fruit stall and bought 2.5kg mangoes. Cost us 50B. Rambutan, durian, mangosteen were also on sale. Going towards the main road (Sukhumvit), there's another masjid with a few Muslim operated food stalls outside its perimeter. So, halal food is not an issue, alhamdulillah.

Note: 
1. Bang Lamung is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Chonburi Province (changwat)Thailand. It is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon - Bang Lamung, Nong Prue, Nong Pla Lai, Pong, Khao Mai Kaeo, Huai yai, Takhian Tia and Na Kluea), which are further subdivided into 61 villages (muban).

2.  Tambon within cities or towns have no subdivision into villages, but into communities (chumchon).

3. changwat (province) >> amphoe (district) >> tambon (subdistrict) >> muban (village)/chumchon (community)
