Nice pool relaxing at my friends place in Jomtien today. Maybe I’ll rent a condo too at some point as it provides a good value for money, not least in a less overheated place as Jomtien. For 16000 Baht (about 400 USD a month he gets a newly refurbished 3 room apparent with two bathrooms and a kitchen area and also a gorgeous swimming pool area free to use at any time during the day.

I also took the chance to take a look at the beach road on my way back, a very relaxed and calm place compared to the Pattaya beach road. But looked nice anyway.

I found a great place in Pattaya to by fruit and Thai fast food. A pad Thai to go here was 30 Baht (less than 1 USD). The next day I bought chicken and rice and got a onion soup included, for 50 Baht (just over 1 USD). I find the street food delicious and very affordable. The perfect snack whenever hunger sets in.

Towards the ocean and more crowded city life..

Chiang mai is famous for temples and beautiful nature. In Doi Suthep you get to experience both. As a bonus these handsome fellows appeared right before we left.
