Kamustaka? ('How are you?' in Tagalog language)
Hello. Mabuti Po ('I'm fine' in Tagalog language.)
Loren, it's good to see you here. How long have you been living in Pattaya?
Just for a while. Pattaya is a very nice place.
Yeah.
Do you know, Art, this building is only 36 years old this year.
Really?
Yeah. It was built in 1981.
1981. It looks gorgeous. It looks gigantic. It's amazing. It's very unique.
It looks like 100 years old, right?
Yes.
Because they base it on ancient concept. That's why it looks older than the real it.
Right. And it's all wood?
Yeah. It's all wood construction from the top to the bottom. And they use 3 kinds of wood.
Teak wood, Red wood, and Mahogany. They are all expensive kinds of wood.
Wow! I'm excited now. Let's go take a look inside.
And we have the helmet here.
We have the helmet.
About this four-faces, we call it Buddhist Sadhava faces.
It represents state of mind or a quality of being a good person.
Love, Kindness, Compassion, and Being Fair to one another.
And they know that.. that is what we're trying to be as smart as possible.
About the base of the building, it was carved with Ramayana epic.
Ramayana epic is a story about the bad and good, wisdom and ignorance.
Actually, it's more on Hinduism belief.
OK. So, we're going to the 4th hall of the building. It's about family - 'parental pure love'.
You know. You can see big sculpture of mom guarding children.
It reminds us that, no matter what, family is very important.
Yes. And Thai people, we value family.
Yes. Very family-oriented as well.
Just 10 minutes by speed boat from Bari Hai Pier, and we have arrived here - Koh Larn or Larn Island.
This is one of the beautiful islands around Pattaya.
Here, I really lover the colour of the sea water, you can see it's turquoise colour.
And it's very clear.
They have plenty of white sandy beaches on the island... like here 'Samae Beach'.
...Or Tien Beach, Nuan Beach, or Ta Waen Beach.
And here, I really love that they generate their own electricity by wind and sunlight.
Whoo!
'Art in Paradise' is the first 3D Art Museum in Thailand and the largest in the world.
Come and capture your own beautiful memories with your friends, families, and your loved ones.
You can create your pose with your own imagination.
But don't worry. They have signs that will show you how to enjoy it.
Pattaya does not only have only entertainment activities and all the fun stuff,
but it has also beautiful beach, peaceful beach like this one - Wong Amat Beach.
And for local people, I think they would really recommend visitors to come here in the evening time
to watch the sunset. It's very beautiful and it's not far from the town centre.
Pattaya View Point on Phra Tamnak Hill is the best view point in Pattaya and the place to visit day or night.
But please be noted that there are a lot of tour groups during the daytime.
And, they usually stop here around 10 to 15 minutes.
So, wait until they've been called back to the bus, the view point will become quite and peaceful.
This is the perfect time to get the best shot.
Welcome to Silverlake. This is the first and only vineyard in Pattaya.
The view here is magnificent.
You can come here to enjoy the stunning silverly reflections of the lake,
and the green atmosphere of the nearby mountains.
Silverlake Vineyard was founded in 2002 on the principle of bringing people together
through good wine and good music.
It bears both wine and table grape varieties and boasts the latest winemaking and juicing technology from Italy,
speaking to the interest of the founders in helping to promote Thailand as a new latitude wine region.
'Khao Chee Chan' or 'Chee Chan Mountain' has this amazing buddha image sculpture, behind me.
It was the idea of Phra Yannasungworn back in 1996 to commemorate King Bhumibol's 50th Anniversary
of His Majesty's Ascension to the Throne.
It was first designed by computer software and then put it into reality with laser technology.
Nowadays, local people, they come here to not only see, but to pay respect, and to make a merit.
Fly to Pattaya with Bangkok Airways.
Stay tuned for the next episode.
