We were back in the Center Point hotel for the next few nights.
Nana had the runs the entire night, she was also feverish and finally vomited after complaining about how bad she felt since the middle of the night. Vomit is an instant relief but she was still in no state to travel. In the end, we decided that Daddy Lim would stay in the hotel with Nana, while Zaky and I continued with the plan to the Bangkok Safari World. No refund. T.T
I finally hit the gym with the boys at 6.30am.
The gym was empty. No surprises. Who exercises while on a holiday? Us! I completed my 4km, going slower than usual, while the boys were busy with the equipment, bench pressing here, training biceps there.
We got MacD for bfast and some wanton mee soup for Nana. We chose not to opt for the hotel bfast, thinking of having delicious Thai authentic bfast for the next few days. In the end, what we could stomach were so pathetic.
The tour meet up point was also at Central World and we got there late but just in time for the bus departure. The bus departed sharply at 10am. I thought the bus ride was quite enjoyable. I had a seat to myself and could look out the big window. It was the 1st time that I had a proper view while on the road. While we were on the bus, Daddy Lim and Nana had to exit the room for the staff to make up the room. The room, particularly the toilet, was super dirty. I can imagine the germs everywhere and the toilet smelled really bad. I cannot tell if it was us or there was already a weird smell from the toilet.
Poor Nana was trying to fight the fever and infection and lying everywhere.
The bus ride took an hour but it was very much alright. What caught my attention was the plastic bag tied to every seat. Is that for rubbish or puke? Hoho.
Welcome to Bangkok Safari World.
The bus drove directly into the safari park and the animals were free to roam. Interestingly, they all kept to their pack/ area. 1st, it was the birds and some lazy camels hiding in the shade.
Then the giraffes. So many of them. What does a giraffe do if it has a neck ache ah? My neck feels very tired just by looking at them.
Anyway, most of the animals were hiding under the shade and snoozing.
We entered another enclosure where the carnivores are kept. The lions. Sleep until… some of them sleep until 脚开开, so unglam.
The Tigers.
The bears are the worse. One of them was even snoozing while soaking in the pond. Enjoy siol.
The safari tour took about 45 mins and this was the most enjoyable part of the tour. Then, we had buffet lunch that was included in the ticket. Daddy Lim ordered room service. Nana barely ate and then lay some more. At the dirty balcony this time bcos she said that the room was too cold. Zzzzz.
It was free and easy thereafter at the Marine Park. There were 4 shows available at 1.30pm, 2.30pm, 3.15pm and 4.15pm respectively. The returning bus was picking us up at 4.45pm.
We had some time to burn after lunch and walked around a little. It was freaking hot. It sadly took away the joy of visiting the park.
We headed to the 1.30pm dolphin show at 1pm, and managed to get seats in section cooled by the mist fans. That was an absolutely great choice.
Then we realised that safari world was invaded by the Indians. The hosts were entertaining crowd with some music as many of us were early to try to get a seat. When some famous Indian tunes were played, half the amphitheater went crazy. It was that many Indians and too many considering that the other half of the amphitheater was occupied by Thai students (in purple).
The dolphin show was really good. No wonder the crowd.
The highlight must be the dolphin whacking the high ball using its tail. I pressed the shutter too early and ended up with a dolphin horizontal in the air. Lol.
The seal lion show was next at 2.30pm. It was seriously too hot to enjoy the park and we decided to head to the show venue next. There were so many Indians. Some were crowding and blocking the way while others bumping into us. Their lack of spacious awareness was rubbing into us and then there was also the smell. Eeeewwwww…
So much so that the teenagers were whining about the heat and everything. We decided to cut the trip short, to catch the sea lion show and then take a cab back on our own.
The sea lion show was less entertaining than the dolphins.
We shared a 7 seater car back and were charged THB600. The boys were happy in the aircon car and were gaming noisily. The din only died down when we were near to the hotel and the boys fell asleep.
We got back to the hotel and it was Zaky’s turn to run for the toilet. Oh no! He said that he felt alright and even went for feet massage with Auntie S and T. Nana was still very lethargic and Daddy Lim said that his tummy felt funny. Zzzzz.
Zaky was officially down on day 6. He was tired, took a long nap, then started the runs and the fever. We tabao-ed omelette rice for dinner and a wanton mee soup for Nana. Nana ate so little. Daddy Lim took a little and decided that he needed to vomit. I ate the most and was the case for the rest of the trip.
Zaky still managed to eat after the long nap. He had some omelette rice but it was cold and I made him an instant noodles. He seemed stronger and hopefully didn’t kena as bad as the rest of us.
Officially, we were all down. All 100%. Zzzzzzz… The rest of the evening was just spent lazing around. Why like that?
