Day Pattaya enveloped in heat, drunk farang sleep a heavy sleep after a night of feasting, and people on the streets very little. But it is very beautiful, the sky is blue and the sun shines down on the top so that the shadow your almost disappears:
The street leading to the private sector of houses built just for foreigners. Melt here and does not smell, all very recognizable for a European. A kind neighborhood in Miami:
The only thing that gives its location – houses for farang rather Asian-small:
The houses have all the latest, including the kitchen, finding where in the house the Thais don’t understand. Most go out to eat on the street or in a cafe and I see no reason to waste square meters of living space for any kitchen.
The midday tropical heat.
Beach road is full of empty pikapika tuk-tuks:
And this Soviet landmark – the tallest hotel in Pattaya:
Its tower is open to visitors in various ways, to sit there in the restaurant, and then, thoroughly full and drunk, you can get your carcass on a rope.
That, in fact, all the tourists do all the time:
This is probably one of the few daily pleasures of Pattaya and all more or less interesting places to spend time with benefit are around.
One of them is the zoo. No, really, don’t call me a nerd, which is now going to take my soap box of small animals and licking ice cream. This zoo Khao Kaew I have not seen anywhere else. I already wrote about the fact that animals in Tae any other. They are not intimidated, they are easy to contact, and look to identify something meaningful, as if the truth is someone in the past was a man, and now reborn into a dog or a lemur.
Khao Kaew is located 40 kilometers from Pattaya. The way lies through the main road – Sukhumvit:
The zoo is open and is made so that is more like a nature reserve: animals go to the zoo, at the entrance of elephants grazing, on the roads you ride reindeer and casoli, and it seems that in their enclosures they go the way home to eat, sleep and wash:
On their Zhiguli cruise a smooth winding serpentine, slowly watching tropical animals:
Almost on every tree there sits a bright, like the LGBT flag, macaw parrot, chirping grasshoppers, fly a huge beautiful butterfly. Even considering the usual crown of the trees you can look closely and see the iguana:
Sounds like in Avatar. This pond, which I would not be surprised if floating a dozen good-natured, like all native animals, crocodiles can swim on a catamaran:
Also around the zoo runs here’s a tour tram. Scored bananas, apples, pears and went to feed all who catches the eye:
Eat ROE deer:
All can be fed, in addition to shifty monkeys. Them Thais like to chase rats with sticks. Monkeys are evil, can attack and bite, or even snatch the bag with fruit from the unwary Russian aunt. Baboon pressed Apple:
To steal anything and mobilku throw and the camera will overcome, even a purse to hold up better closer.
Local homeless watch:
But there are good monkeys, though they are already in the cells. Life with an outstretched hand:
This screaming baby I gave banana, he held it over his mouth and wouldn’t stop yelling went on to beg for the fruits:
Tourists come, laugh and leave. Banana not got:
The amazing thing is that animals are absolutely not suganya, as befits a wild animal. They are afraid of nothing: the meerkats crawl out and stand on their hind legs to look at a passing car, fun to ride mountain sheep, to pull warm big horns will fit irav to eat and take notes:
Tongue out. Can scratch:
Jurafsky cub:
I’ve never seen rhinos. It’s unrealistic sizes animal, huge and heavy as a port loader. Impressive even from this distance:
Well, North brother, how’s Russia? You sit down with us, brought a bottle?:
And these fools with kind eyes in addition to the branches of a tree is nothing to be happy is not necessary. For her they are even ready to dance:
Lemur here, apparently for the first time. He saw me and opened his already round eyes and froze, taken aback by what he saw:
And it’s not a lemur, but he, too, with an interesting face. We are only on discos, there are:
Turtle:
A turtle lives near a very swampy area, here are a handful of hippos:
Petrovich surfaced:
Yawn… Russian tourists, missing, promptly have thrown him a full mouth of banana with pear:
Next there’s a very tiny Hippo. As they are not under pressure, it is not clear:
Swim:
All the animals are very funny, but here I posmeyalsya to tears. Even the Thais laughed and wiped the tears.
Gibbons:
It without comment. You should see what face they were taking pictures, like waving their hands and how deftly jumping from branch to branch:
Well, you clowns:
We come to another cage. Suddenly, from somewhere below someone familiar was blow my noisemaker and started touching my leg:
Thai deity elephants!:
Gudiya!:
Greets me. And smiling! Like a real Thai!:
Waving their trunks and eat bananas:
If you give an elephant, who all have legs banana, then he will take it and eat, if nothing to give, will play the pipe and like to watch the trunk on the sides. If you give herbs like this girl:
… the elephant threw it on the back!:
Dad elephant:
Elephant family:
By the way, the eyes of mad elephants, like the lemurs:
Then we went to the show going on in which I was shocked. I could not understand how it is. Judge for yourself:
The show opened with the bright, huge kind of Toucan with yellow beak. Flew everywhere, set down here and there, and flew away. I thought that we were just lucky. Further – more, the stage ran otter, swam, off and ran:
Then directly to the audience themselves crawled these are promedade, ate nuts and crawled along the rope.
At a time! One after the other!:
So went the boar, showed the idea and left. Pelicans, ducks, only one was not. Tiger! Bathes!:
Climbs trees! Himself!:
A giant cat without the trainer! At the end came the king of beasts and showed such Circassia that I was finally convinced that the animals in Tae no less smart people:
Sew from it vulgar leopard print sofas and briefs:
And they look beautiful:
Hot:
Tigers! White!:
Lynx:
The whole zoo can be explored for days, it’s not even a zoo, and some of your world with animals that are not afraid of man. Children come to class, study animals and care for them, spend observations:
Beauty, not a zoo:
From the nearest good I’ve seen it only in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, in Belarus:
