Day 7 ( Rayong, Bang Lamung, Pattaya)

On Saturday morning (2 June, 2012), we went towards Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate, which is in the Rayong province (Chonburi's neighbour). We took Route 331 and reached Khao Mai Kaeo Intersection (*Khao Mai Kaeo is a tambon/subdistrict within Bang Lamung amphoe/district). Turned left towards Bowin town. Saw lots of tapioca and pineapples planted along the road. We passed by Amata City Industrial Estate where according to hubby, BMW cars are being assembled. Took us about 45mins to reach our destination.

Took a snap of these buah salak at a road side stall. Fruits, and they are sweet and delicious, are abundant in this country. Be it mangoes, rambutans, pineapples (this you have to taste, simply love it).... 





------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next was our visit to an outlet of the Big Bee Farm, Nongpralai, Bang Lamung. No entrance fee was charged here. Outside of the building, there were the honey combs and also apparatus used to get the honey. The lady staff was polite enough to warn hubby not to drop the bee-comb he was holding to the ground, or she'll be the first to run away. :) The honey products sold here are from the farm bees in Chieng Mai. Apparently, Chieng Mai boast of many types of flowers when compared to other parts of Thailand giving the best nectar as feed to the bees.

This shot of Pattaya / Bang Lamung Railway Station was taken when we were on the way to the floating market. Err...macam railway station kat mana ye?


The entrance to the Pattaya Floating Market. Nabihah's favourite seaweed store is on the left side, next to peanut store Koh Kae.

The day ends with tom yam gung dinner at a Muslim restaurant off Pornpraphanimit Road, not far from our place. Yes, the dishes were hot...
