On Thursday Fon took us for a drive around Chonburi Province, the area immediately surrounding Pattaya. This was our first opportunity to see the countryside and stop at a few places along the way.
We visited a huge 140m high Buddha which had been carved into the side of a mountain and then painted in gold. We then drove around and through one of the better beaches of Pattaya (Hat Jomtien). We also stopped off for a quick trip to another market to buy dinner.
