Thailand- Day 2

My efforts have succeeded and I am back to write about my second day here. So today was my last day in Pattaya. We'll leave for Bangkok tomorrow. The plan for today was water sports at Coral Island and the NongNooch Village. After an early breakfast we went to our tour group's meeting point which was right behind our hotel. We took a high speed motor boat to the first station- Parasailing! I and my dad immediately lined up after putting on our harness. We had opted to take a dip in the water during the round. The people here, having learnt the hindi word for 'dip', rightly called it 'dubki'. It was excellent. The blue sea was below me and experience was brilliant! Half-way through the boat slowed down and I began descending towards the sea. At first I was a bit confused, but then I realised that the 'dubki' was coming. It was fun! After parasailing we went to the next station which was undersea walking. This was really an  experience of a lifetime. I fed the fish. I also saw some corals upclose. I touched a sea anemone, a brittle star and an oyster. Though the first few seconds cause a bit of discomfort, but once you get adjusted, it is just like walking. The lifeguards with us were funny and kept us entertained. We then took the boat to Coral Island. We relaxed there for an hour before taking the boat back to Pattaya. Though the rest of our group, who were also Indian, chose to have an Indian lunch. Me, mom and dad wanted to try the local foods. So after changing into dry clothes we went to a near by Thai restaurant and bar. The food was really yummy! Our next destination was the NongNooch. Frankly, we couldn't enjoy it much. Partly because we were tired and also as it wasn't too impressive. We saw a Thai cultural show and an elephant show. That was the end of my second day. I am not sure whether I'll be able to write tomorrow, but I promise I'll try! Good bye! :)
