The world and beyond @ Terminal 21

Every man dreams of travelling the world, see its beauty and explore different cultures of over a hundred countries across the globe. The thing is, only those who have the resources can do it without so much hassle. As for those who are having a tough time in making both ends meet, this dream is unlikely to happen and will probably remain a dream for the rest of their lives.


Call me a dreamer too because up until now I still dream of exploring the many spectacular places the earth has in store for everyone. But just like most of us, I am under the category of those "having a tough time." Still, I won't drop the idea of me chronicling my journeys from one place to another very SOON! Why's that? Because I somewhat experienced how was it to be in places I've been dreaming for so long, making me to really pursue harder for that to happen no matter what.


Really, no touch of kid fantasy in there. What seemed to me as a dream somewhat came true as if I was living the dream. I've been to Istanbul and then to Paris in less than 5 minutes. After that, I wandered at Carnaby Street in London whilst admiring their big red bus parked nearby, and checked Tokyo's souvenirs around a maze of shops. Every country was like a stone's throw away from the other.

This happened at one of Bangkok's shopping malls called Terminal 21, where several world-famous cities are under one roof. It resembles an airport with electronic display boards that make people think of flight information displays, and receptionists wearing flight attendants' uniforms. 

Terminal 21 is like no other. It brings people to their desired destinations while also stopping in other delightful and lively cities the world is famous for. Second to none, I would say.

Shopping in Pattaya

Pattaya is probably one of the liveliest cities in Asia just like Hongkong and Singapore. From the capital city of Bangkok, going there would roughly take about two hours max including traffic and all. After my Godson's birthday party in the nearby province of Rayong, we head off to Pattaya to do some shopping.
Our first stop was in the Outlet Mall and there we saw several signature sports wear like addidas, nike, etc at their cheapest. I was stunned. In fact, all of us. We bought a few and hurried out so as to check other goodies in Central Pattaya, one of the biggest shopping mall in the city.
If we were stunned in the Outlet Mall because of the cheapest of the cheapest, we were like more stunned because Central goodies were out of the budget, way too expensive that roughly triple the prices. Because of that, we settled into taking pictures. 
As i have mentioned Pattaya as being lively, night time is like never a night because people don't seem to sleep and only enjoy every bit of being there. Bars, pubs, and other temptations with women are just there. Being dubbed as the "Sin City of Asia, I kinda agree to that. But don't flinch, the city is beautiful and has a lot of interesting spots - PROMISE!
