(9) PATTAYA BEACH

Akhirnya kita nyampe juga di Pantai Pattaya. Waahhh …. jalan-jalan di sepanjang Pantai ini serasa jalan di Pantai Kuta di Bali. Hampir sama persis ama pantai Kuta. Jalan di sepanjang pantai pun sama dengan jalan pantai Kuta. Hard Rock Hotel & Hard Rock Café juga ada di sana dan letaknya persis seperti yang ada di Bali. Sepanjang jalan di pantai berjejer bar dan café-café. Duuhh … gue serasa ada di Bali bukan di Thailand :-D

Finally we are arriving at Pattaya Beach. Aahh … Walking at the beach feel like walking at Kuta Beach in Bali. Hard Rock Hotel, Hard Rock Café, some bars and café are at the road a long of the beach. Hmmm …. I feel like in Bali, not in Thailand :-D

Aaahhh … ada yang menarik yang ngebedain pantai Pattaya ama Pantai Kuta. Kalau dari pinggir pantai kita memandang ke arah bukit sebelah kiri, kita bakal ngeliat tulisan PATTAYA City gede banget. Semangat lagi deh gue ber-photo ria berusaha ngambil background tulisan itu. Paling nggak kalo temen-temen gue di Bali liat nih photo gue, nggak disangka photo di Pantai Kuta …. He he he he he….

Aahh…ya, there is a big sign “PATTAYA CITY” on the hill across of the beach. There is the different from Kuta Beach :-) I am exciting to take picture again with the sign background. At least when I show the picture to my friends, they will not thinking that I take picture at Kuta Beach …he he he he he ….

Seperti biasa sementara gue ditemenin David sibuk mengatur gaya photo dan nyari spot-spot yang bagus di pantai, semua anggota rombongan udah ilang masuk ke dalem drug store-nya Hard Rock. Lumayan lama gue ama David nongkrong di depan Hard Rock nungguin mereka. Begitu keluar masing-masing udah bawa tentengan tas gede-gede berisi tshirt-tshirt Hard Rock. Gila…!! Habis berapa duit mereka! Setahu gue satu tshirt Hard Rock yang paling murah dengan model kayak kaos-kaos biasa bisa sampai Rp 250.000,00 … weleh-weleh ….

Meanwhile David and I are busy looking for great spots for our picture at the beach, the others gone to the drug store of Hard Rock Hotel & Café. Quiet long David and I wait them in front of the café. Everybody are bringing big t-shirt shopping bags when come out from the shop. Wow … how much they spent money! Crazy…!! As I knew the cheapest one Hard Rock t-shirt is about Rp 250.000,00 (about US$ 25.00). Wow…Indonesian people so riches!
