Swimming and Fun, Pattaya Thailand.

At our hotel there is a great pool, actually 4 pools in all. Our rooms are in the Sabai Wing overlooking the large pool. It is funny as back home I had a pool at my place and hardly ever used it.


Here we are swimming every day, twice a day in fact as Nong Ja loves the water. We had to buy her this little seat as she is impossible to hang onto; she squirms and squeals so much when swimming. Miss Noot had her first venture into the water today.

We borrowed these arm floats as the Big C just up the road was out but I purchased some tonight for her and tomorrow we will be going great guns in the morning. It is a little scary as to how young kids have no fear of the water; they just don’t understand how dangerous it is. Ja wants to jump into the pool by herself as she cannot fathom that she will sink if I don’t catch her.

Miss Noot being super cool. I couldn’t believe when we went to the Olympic size pool in Ubon and Noot could only swim to get by, no way could she swim a lap unless a really slow dog paddle. It is the difference to Thailand and Australia, with many having kids learning to swim from virtually just after birth.

Tomorrow we will be up early for a swim in the pool and then off to breakfast. Then some shopping is to be done and from there who knows as nothing is really planned. I like holidays like that, I can’t stand them being planned to the minute.

I am a sure another trip to the beach will be on the cards, as today we took Nong Ja for her first ever visit and it was a classic. She was memorized at first with the sand and small waves rolling in. And we ventured to the water’s edge and the screams and laughter came in droves, really priceless. There are of course pictures but another day, maybe tomorrow if I have time between cold beers.
