By Erwin Ambo Delilan

ON December 3, I'll be leaving for Thailand to cover the 24th Southeast Asian Games.
Of course, I am excited to visit one of the best countries in Asia especially since I'll be visiting Thailand's three major cities that will host various games for the 24th Southeast Asian Games - Bangkok, Pattaya and Nakhon Ratchasima or Korat.

Aside from covering sporting events, I was told that I would be having the chance to see the "greatness" of these three major cities in Thailand.
Wow great, I exclaimed.
In Bangkok alone, I am excited to see the greatest architectural design of Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram or Wat Phra Kaeo Temple, the Anantasamakhon Throne Hall, Children's Discovery Museum, Bangkok Doll Museum, Suan Pakkad Palace, Wat Pho Temple, Safari World, Siam Park City, or shop at Jatujak Market, The National Theater, Rose Garden Riverside, Crocodile Farm, among other towering and historical temples, parks and museums.
In Korat, I want to see a lot of historical ruins and temples, too.
There are the Phimai Historical Park, Thao Suranari Monument, Pratu Chum Phon, Wat Sala Loi, Wat Thammachak Semaran, Wat Khao Chan Ngam, Prasat Non Ku, Prasat Mueang Khaek, Wat Na Phra That, Wat Na Phra That Paintings, etc.
In Pattaya, it's said to be the Boracay of Thailand, one could reportedly experience a fine selection of seafood, steaks, and Thai foods served in a unique atmosphere in various seaside resto bars.
A lot of travelers also said that in Pattaya, one would be treated to the best floating seafood market restaurant and fine beaches.
So I hope that my December will be a meaningful one with my Thailand trip.
