The market was quite clean, with plenty of food stalls. It wasn't crowded, which was nice, and you could try the local specialties. There was Bangkok sticky rice, coconut ice cream, and banana pancakes from the grandma's milk tea stall. They also had specialty milk tea! There were free Muay Thai performances and local Thai dances.

Had a really fun time at the show! It was funny, entertaining, and full of energy. Lots of dancers and plenty of fun moments — definitely a good experience if you are looking for something different in Pattaya. 😄VIP ticket: Personally, I don’t think VIP is necessary unless you really want a good view of all the dancers( We are seated VIP area , honest speaking is near to stage ). Otherwise, regular seating should be fine.One small tips about taking photos: Please be careful if you give money to security staff to help take photos. We saw a Japanese lady give money to a security staff member specifically to take photos, but the money was not returned afterward. It could have simply been a communication misunderstanding, so I don’t want to assume anything, but I would recommend confirming the arrangement clearly before handing over any money.Overall, 5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A funny, lively and entertaining show — we had a great time!

Before setting off, I confidently told my friends that I definitely wouldn't get lost on this road trip. However, after driving less than 30 kilometers, I led the navigation into a field ridge. My wheels nearly sank into the soft mud beside the field. I got out and struggled to push for ten minutes, my hands and face covered in mud. Looking up, I saw an old man in the field, smoking a cigarette, staring at me for a while before slowly saying, "Young man, you've taken a way that's more off-center than my cow's." I was utterly dumbfounded. I could only force a smile and chat with the old man. Then, the old man pointed to a small path hidden behind a tree, saying, "If you keep going this way, there's a place with local food so delicious it'll make your tongue tingle." I drove there with some skepticism, and it opened up a whole new world for me. The roadside restaurant didn't even have a sign, and the food... It was so spicy it felt like my head was going to fly off. I ate three bowls of rice and still couldn't stop. I continued wandering along this deserted path, the wheels crunching over fallen leaves. Wildflowers bloomed haphazardly by the roadside, and even butterflies were circling around my car. I played the most corny DJ music and drifted along the empty highway, feeling like the coolest kid on the block. Getting lost? The navigation hadn't planned this route. That was what I called a unique surprise! I didn't start heading back until it got dark. Looking at the mud stains on my car, I took out my phone and texted a friend, saying I'd gotten lost and stumbled upon a hidden dungeon. My friend replied with three question marks, saying, "This isn't a road trip, it's a wilderness survival experience!" I laughed so hard I slapped the steering wheel. This experience was a hundred times better than staying home and watching short videos 🤣. Driving my car through the mountains and rivers felt like being in a giant natural oxygen bar. Every deep breath I took allowed me to feel the essence of the Yangtze River civilization and nature's bounty. The joy of driving lies in the perfect combination of a sense of control and a thirst for exploration. The unknown road ahead is always full of allure, making one want to explore it. The villages, fields, and mountains along the way all tell the stories of this land, and as a passerby, I was fortunate enough to be a witness to these stories. This experience of intertwining with history and nature enriched my heart immensely, as if all my worries had been blown away by the river breeze, leaving only a love and longing for life. As the wheels of the train ceaselessly rolled on, I found my own rhythm. That unhurried attitude filled me with boundless anticipation and longing for the future. Spending the night in the small town, listening to the distant sounds of Sichuan opera, my heart was filled with indescribable emotion and satisfaction 🌞💚.

I definitely consider its worth visiting at least once! Very well organized, nice stadium. For me it was interesting to watch the fighting. Yes, some of the fighters were a bit too young (15-16 years old) but still. Great experience

I visited Ramayana Water Park with my friends, and we had a great time. The water slides and attractions were exciting, fun, and suitable for spending the whole day together. The park was well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable.One small inconvenience was that we had to take off our shoes and walk back to collect them quite often before different rides. It would be more convenient if there were a better system for storing or carrying footwear. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great day out with friends.
