Adventures (and Misadventures) in Sawadee Land (Part 4 of 4)

Day 4: Nice Little Theme Park, Some Thai Dinner and then off we go!

We booked our tour from the hotel which includes pick up from and to the hotel, entrance to the park, snow town and buffet lunch. We headed out to the theme park at 9am (theme park opens at 10am and closes at 5pm).It was an hour ride from Bangkok.

Upon arrival, we were given stickers to wear and tickets to Snow Town. First stop, is the cable car. Since the extreme rides are way on the far side of the park, our plan was to ride the cable car and be dropped down there. Unfortunately, it didn't work that way and we were taken back to where we started so we just trekked down the far end and go on from there.

Super Splash. (This was the most fun ride for me!) This one is like Jungle Log Jam. Good thing is that there's a bar that secures you so you can raise your hands and scream your head off while plunging into the water. (Warning: This will really get you wet! Where's the fun in wearing a raincoat though, huh?)
Before and After the Ride

Grand Canyon. Think, Rio Grande. Nothing that will pump up your adrenaline. Just wet, wet, wet.

Viking. This one is Anchor's Away. I'd rather have skipped this one altogether but since everyone is going, heck, I'm not gonna be left out!

Not again, ever!

Next up is Haunted Mansion. After riding the Viking, some decided to take a breather first, so there's just three of us who entered - same old, same old. After that we rode the roller coaster (same as the one in star city only without the 360 degree loops). This one is a fun ride too. Then it's bump car time! We went two rounds on this one, all fun!

Now everybody is ready to eat lunch so we headed to the food pavillion for the buffet lunch. Only few choices are available here, nevertheless, the food was tasty so we didn't mind much. I enjoyed the pink dessert (tastes like our sago't gulaman). Other desserts are black gulaman and monggo in syrup.

Hurricane. On the way out we saw this insane ride Hurricane. There are moments where you'll hang suspended upside down and at 90 degrees to the ground. Just watching it will make you dizzy. One of my friends wanted to try this so we waited for him to line up and finish the ride. I tell you he's crazy, wasn't affected at all by the ride and after eating a huge meal at that. Me, I won't ever try that.

Crazy!

4d Adventure Show (120baht). Some of us wanted to see the 4d adventure show. I didn't and from what I heard I didn't miss much. We just waited outside and took some naughty pics of me and the buried giant - way more fun than the 4d. One other tourist saw what we were doing and even took a picture of me in a naughty pose (so don't be surprised if you see my pics in one of those websites, kidding!). I won't post any here. :p

After that we got separated again (coz I was buying a Disney shirt and got lost track of where we were going). Turned out that the others went to see some action show (which, from them, was even worse than the adventure show, good thing it's free).

Snow Town. This is the best! We were given boots and jackets to wear, but even then, it was still freezing inside! There are some area for photo ops but the most fun was the slide (which I took three times). Be careful not to touch your hands to the ice though coz it's really painful!

After a few more minutes, we decided to head out (we can't take the cold anymore!). We dropped by some stores to buy souvenir and stuff and then we headed out to the gate to meet our tour guide.

And again as you well know, disaster struck. We were left by our tour guide coz we were late. So we ended up taking two cabs (we are 6 in all) and asked to be dropped down to the nearest BTS station (which turned out to be Mo Chit - the one beside Chatuchak). Not so bad after all, coz it was our fault anyway, only we have very limited funds by then, so you know (shrugs).

Back at the hotel, I decided to repack and do some last minute shopping at guess where - 711. I bought packs and packs of their soy milk, much like the ones sold here only way, way cheaper (1 piece sells for only 10baht while here it's 40php), the giant Yakult (ok, so the brand was different but the drink is all the same) and the yummy milk pellets (only 10baht per pack). If only they have boxes where I could put it in so that I'll have a months supply of those (must be checked in coz of the drinks).

Then we had our last meal in Thailand at our hotel where we all ordered Thai dishes.

Yummy, bagoong rice (or what they call shrimp paste rice, wahaha!) The white strips on the side is green mango.

Chicken with cashew

Salad with tuna (or something like that, ;p)

After that it's airport time and then back to Manila! Whew, so good to be back home!

Expenses: Dreamworld (booked at our hotel, Samran Place) - 900baht
