Did you know that yesterday was "RU OK" Day? It's a day that reminds us to have an open conversation as soon as we notice signs that someone we care about might be going through a tough time. Anyone (even children) can have these conversations; no special skills are needed. Listening to someone and giving them your time can be exactly what they need to help them. Hopefully, we're all aware of this and can do our part.

Destination highlight – Pattaya

We have already introduced Pattaya, but since our last trip is still fresh in our minds, we would like to present some attractions that will give you reasons to visit Pattaya (again).

Have you ever been to the Sanctuary of Truth? It's not a temple; the place is best described as a visionary environment: a blend of art installation, religious shrine, and cultural monument. It's built entirely of wood (without any metal nails) and offers breathtaking ocean views. I personally found the place very calming. The stories and teachings are particularly impressive and thought-provoking—hence the name "Sanctuary of Truth."

How about the Nong Nooch Garden? It's one of the largest botanical gardens we've ever visited. Garden lovers will be amazed by the variety of plants there. Dinosaur Valley is a real feast for the eyes, even if you're not a dinosaur fan. Over 100 dinosaur species have been recreated in meticulous detail to delight visitors; a place that's guaranteed to transport you back in time.

Product Highlight – Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya

Looking for a first-class summer/family holiday?

  • Outdoor play area with a three-story playground (slides, trampoline, raft play, play tower and sandpit).
  • The indoor play area offers arts and crafts activities as well as a cooking class for children.
  • The theme park Lost World Adventure Land only opened in August 2022; there you can navigate at dizzying heights using the zip line over two different obstacle courses.

    • I would say a family could easily spend a week on the property without ever leaving. It's a true entertainment hub for anyone who loves sun, water, and gentle adventures, offering countless great family activities. It's definitely one of our absolute favorite places to stay.

    Have a great weekend everyone!
