Hi.This is Satish from Andhra Pradesh.I along with my spouse Mani, had an Asian Extravaganza Trip with Thomas Cook on 30. August.2019.
It gives me immense pleasure to share my experiences as every moment has become a sweet memory. The entire group was around 26 members. Our Tour Manager was Bhavin Gogri. Before my start, I thought it would be just a trip with less expectations but as moving on day to day it became an everlasting memory which even, I can’t express in words. Surprising to say, it was a very good memory saving experience.
We reached Suvarnabhumi, Airport of Bangkok on 30. August.2019 and received a warm smile form Bhavin Gogri.I was little worried about the entire trip and how it would go on. He briefed me about the upcoming schedule. I was moved on at ease with his explanation.
Kun Pat was our Local Guide who is so cute and very friendly. She entertained with her singing and the entire group had a great fun with her. She is a stress buster and makes us to smile all the time with her lovely language. We were tired by smiles; it might be exaggerating to say that but it’s true. That’s the way she makes us leaving in a joyful environment continuously. For both of us, it was fun to think that it was all over today. We miss you and love you Pat.
Later we headed to Pattaya and had a comfortable stay at A One Hotel which is opposite to the beach. The Spa service which we had at the hotel was amazing. One shouldn’t miss the Terminal 21 mall. As the business road is back to the hotel, we had a nice chance to explore the culture and wide varieties of food. A foodie must see this place and can give a try. The people of Pattaya, Thailand were very friendly with the tourists. One should try the fruits on the huge spread in the streets of Pattaya. The KAAN show was spectacular, it’s a great time over there.
On the Next day, I had Parasailing but it was a bumpy ride for me and the landing went bitterly bad. One should be more cautious in getting into that. We visited to Coral Island and had some time over there. On and all the boat ride was adventurous as the sea was a little bit rough. The food at the restaurants were good and can move on.
The Noong Nooch Village experience was as huge as the elephant show which stamped a great memory for us. We had astonishing pictures with Tigers and Macaws, Elephants. One shouldn’t miss the Dinosaurs Park. Later on, we proceeded to the Bangkok Zoo which very one must try to visit the spot. We encountered huge species and Thanks to Bhavin for organizing the visit perfectly, All his planning is as a bead, so beautiful that it cannot be described in words. We were mesmerized by his caring. In a nutshell it is a wonderful miracle for the animal lovers. Bhavin explained about the different species. Later on, we proceeded to have a closure look with Tigers, Orangutans, Macaw birds and many more. The performances there seemed to take us to a world of vibrant imagination.
On the Next we proceeded to the Lord Buddha Temples which one must see as it clearly reflects their heritage and culture. We proceeded to Malaysia with Dahir, local guide to Malaysia, he was so good and explained about the traditions and importance of their culture. He provided us with Rambutan and some other fruits which are too delicious.
The Lost World of Tambun is the place on our planet where it was originally supposed to be. The trees, hills, and green spaces in the area is like the true Earth. We had a beautiful experience with the birds, Hippopotamus, Giraffe, Camel, Crocodile, Hyenas, Deers, Zebras and list goes on. It makes you feel that you are living in a Prehistoric age. The Hot springs are amazing. It would be on a lesser side even if anyone wants to explain The Lost World of Tambun. "It can’t be seen .It can be only felt."
Coming to our last destination Singapore, the advanced city is overloaded with a number of Tourist attractions. Bhavin took us to Marina Bay Sands Sky park, Gardens by the bay, a great place to see thousands of species of plants and blooming flowers.4D show was too great in Madame Tussauds Museum. Kids will enjoy a lot. In Jurong Bird Park, the shows with the birds were outstanding. The cable car experience was a memorable thing at Sentosa Island. The wings of wire was an astonishing show. Bhavin allocated the time so nicely for all the attractions and shows. Trick eye museum, Universal Studios and Sea Aquarium are the places which makes to feel a breath-taking experience.
From the viewpoint of hotels we stayed was virtuoso, a great masterpiece. The A-One hotel at Pattaya was just opposite to the beach. We enjoyed a lot in beach as it is just 1 min walkway. Juts cross the road and will be in beach. Rooms were nicely maintained and tidy. Holiday Inn at Bangkok was too great. It’s an excellent hotel out of all we had in terms of cleanliness, service and food. There was a huge spread in buffet. One can enjoy scrumptious meal. Hotel Renaissance at Kaulalumpur was a remarkable hotel in its artistic reflection. The food was great. In Singapore, Thomas Cook made the best by making our stay at Hotel Orchard rendezvous as it is a best location easily accessible to Little India, Clark Quay and Shopping malls in Orchard Road.
The quality of the food they provided was great and delicious. They planned us the combination of Indian and American dishes. Lunch and Dinner were provided in Indian Restaurants. All the restaurants at each and every stop were taken huge care in providing the best and perfectly maintained their trim. One more thumbs-up to the team of Thomas Cook Asia Team.
We are indebted to the Thomas Cook Asian Extravaganza Team for choosing the best hotels and making our stay more relaxed. From my view, I can tag the best suitable name for them is "ATHIDI DEVO BHAVA" the way treated us.
The main person whom I should appreciate is Mr.Bhvain, who took us to the world of lovable memories. The way he plans, cares, treats can’t be explained in words. The person with outstanding care. He always keeps a magical eye on each and every person in group, even in an crowded rush, he catches each and every person and keeps us united all the time. He makes us to cheer a lot. Very excited to meet a person like him. He is really down to earth. It would be too small to describe about him. How much is said about him is inexhaustible.
Finally, I can name him as the Guardian of Asian Extravaganza Trip so as like the Guardians of Galaxy, The Super Hero’s. From my heart I bless him to have a healthy and joyful life.
Overall, the trip was too exciting and it was wonderfully planned and every moment was filled with joy. Had a great fun time with lots of sweet memories.!
The credit for our sweet memories goes to Bhavin and Thomas Cook.Thanks a lot Thomas Cook.
