I want to take a free train to Pattaya, relax, eat, sleep, roll around, look at the sky, look at the sea, no need to sweat, no need to climb mountains. Okay, let's go… This is the second time Manao has redeemed points for a free stay. (Gift Voucher 1 night Superior Sea View room including breakfast for 2 people at The Zign Hotel, Pattaya (-40000 points) Manao redeemed points from accumulating green reviews and sharing experiences at https://th.readme.me/ so it's free. Thank you Mana for this.)

Lemon chose The Zign Hotel because it is located by the sea with beautiful views and has a fishing pier where you can watch the sunset.

Arrange a meeting with Manai. Prepare to book a hotel. In the morning of the appointment at Hua Lamphong. What!! The train to Pattaya has already left!! How could Manow, the queen of free train reviews, miss this? She looked at the wrong time and missed the free train to Pattaya! I want to cry. My life feels like it's been ruined. I'm sorry, Manai. I was wrong.

The original travel plans had to be changed, so we took the subway to the Ekkamai station and bought bus tickets for 106 baht each to Na Kluea. There were vans available, but we were too proud to take them because we are overweight and it would have been uncomfortable and cramped.

We didn't take any pictures. Eun was shocked that we missed the free train, but hey! Every problem has a solution. After about 3 hours, we arrived at Na Kluea. We crossed the road and took a motorbike taxi for 40 baht each to the hotel. Wow! It was big and luxurious.

The hotel has a friendly and helpful reception staff. A security deposit of 2,000 baht is required upon check-in and will be refunded after check-out. Room rates vary depending on the date of stay and can be confirmed directly with the hotel.

**Here are some chic lobby vibes from the hotel.**

**Upon entering the room, one is greeted by a spacious and clean environment, suggesting a comfortable living experience.**

The beauty was so breathtaking that they forgot to turn on the air conditioning.

It's noon, but the water hasn't risen yet.

The fish market next to the hotel, that's where Manao will go to watch the sunset over the sea this evening (in the late afternoon when the tide is high, it's beautiful).

I want to be thin, I want to wear a bikini and jump into the pool.

"I want to scream! This bathtub is amazing! I've been soaking in hot water like a lemon (I've been in the lemon bath for three rounds, it's so good!). This trip will probably be the one where you, Manao, can work comfortably while I eat and sleep on the soul-sucking bed. 5555"

Manai still admires the sea view behind the room.

After showering, we had lunch. There were many restaurants in front of the hotel, but the prices were quite high. We bought snacks at the 7-Eleven in front of the hotel and went back to our room to eat. We waited for the afternoon to take more pictures downstairs. We let Mr. Manai continue working while Manao took a nap.

It's time for Manao to soak up the atmosphere around the playground!

Can I take a selfie with this beautiful hotel?

**Move a little closer to the beach.**

There are plenty of places to sit or lie down and relax. It's beautiful and very clean. There are staff on duty all the time.


Walking around taking photos was so much fun! This place is truly beautiful.

Manai took a break and came down to play. It seems like Manao will win. 5555

Take a selfie before heading out to buy snacks and drinks, then take a leisurely stroll to the fish market.

I'd be glad to translate the sentence for you:

"I love the sight of the late afternoon, as it allows us to witness the lives of fishermen. It's a truly classic image, in my opinion."

Here's a breakdown of the translation process:

  • ชอบภาพช่วงเย็นๆแบบนี้: This phrase expresses a fondness for the scenery during the late afternoon.
  • เพราะเราจะได้เห็น ชีวิตของชาวประมง: This explains the reason for the speaker's enjoyment, which is the opportunity to observe the lives of fishermen.
  • มะนาวว่า เป็นภาพที่ คลาสสิคมากๆค่ะ: This conveys the speaker's personal opinion, stating that they find the image to be very classic.

I've kept the translation concise and simple, while maintaining a formal academic tone. I've also avoided using personal pronouns and colloquialisms, and I've supported the claim with evidence (the speaker's observation of the fishermen's lives).

I hope this translation meets your expectations!

Wow! The old man caught a lot of fish!

The building on the right is the hotel where we stayed.

Seated comfortably with a refreshing drink and crunchy nuts, watching the sun set over the horizon.

Many people come here to relax, fish, and enjoy the company. It's never lonely.

This is the place where I want to be. A beautiful resort with a fishing pier where I can stroll, enjoy the view, and observe the lives of fishermen. I can sit and eat snacks, living life like a snail, without having to rush to do anything. Ahhh….so relaxing.

The last light has not yet faded, the sky is starting to roar, it's better to hurry to buy snacks at 7-Eleven and go sit and eat at the back of the room.

I tried so hard to take a picture of the lightning, lol. This is all I got, but I'm happy with it. Soaking in the hot tub and then curling up in bed is so comfortable... It's so soft, can I take it home?

Manai worked until two in the morning and passed out. Manao went out to enjoy the sunrise alone.

The sunrise is different everywhere, so Manao decided to travel to see the sunrise at...Pattaya.

It's getting late. Let's go downstairs and take some more photos.

Standing in front of the hotel for a selfie, we encountered a group of Korean tourists. We decided to take a group selfie together, saying "Kimchi!" in unison.

Tourists have started having breakfast and are now taking photos while walking around. Mr. Manai continues to work. He will come down to have breakfast later.

**The breakfast buffet was extensive, offering a wide variety of Thai, Western, and vegetarian options, as well as a diverse selection of breads, pastries, coffee, milk, and fruit juices. The spread was so vast that I refrained from taking pictures out of consideration for other guests. However, I can assure you that it was truly exceptional, and a highlight of the hotel's offerings.**

After eating, he lay down to sleep for another nap. When it was time, he went downstairs to check out.

The Zign Hotel is beautiful, clean, and has excellent service. There is a fish market to walk around, and it is quiet. For me, it was very worthwhile. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely come back.

A motorbike taxi ride for 100 baht per person to Pattaya Central Railway Station.

The free train to Pattaya is only available from Monday to Friday. The train departs at 06:55 a.m. from Bangkok Station (Hualamphong) and terminates at Plu Ta Luang Station at 11:20 a.m. There are two stations in Pattaya: Pattaya Central Station and Pattaya South Station. The journey takes approximately 4 hours.

**The return free train also has only one trip, at 2:20 PM (available only from Monday to Friday, same as the outbound trip). Departing from Pattaya Central Railway Station and arriving at Hua Lamphong Station at 6:15 PM.**


...I have to wait another two hours for the free train. Luckily, I met a cute dog. I love Lemon so much because Lemon has snacks. 55555

Always ready for an adventure, eager to explore with an open mind.

Thank you.

Full, then have to soak in the water. Hey!!! That's a fish pond.

2:20 PM. The free train has departed. You can now return to the bustling city of Bangkok.

**Candidly capturing moments of joy.**

The rice fields are a beautiful color right now.


There are many types of seats, and they are also free. Think about it. There are not many people. If you are in the mood to ride the train for free, come and try it. It's fun and exciting.

Food, snacks, and drinks are available for purchase, but not in large quantities. However, vendors will continuously walk around selling their wares.

This trip was a relaxing getaway for Manao and a work trip for Manai.

The cost of the room on weekdays with sea view and breakfast was around 2,700 baht (we didn't have to pay because we used points to redeem the stay).

The cost of the bus tickets for two people was 106 baht each, totaling 212 baht.

The cost of the motorbike taxi to the hotel was 40 baht each, totaling 80 baht.

The cost of the motorbike taxi from the hotel to Pattaya Central Railway Station was 100 baht each, totaling 200 baht.

For this trip, the two of us spent 492 baht and food expenses.

readme.me really delivers! If you don't believe it, try writing a review with us!

See you again with Manao and Manai on our next trip!

Thank you for reading my review. Pattaya is a great place to visit, with easy access by train, bus, or van. There are many attractions to see and things to do, making it a perfect destination for a quick getaway. I encourage everyone to explore the beauty of Thailand, starting with Pattaya. Let's travel and support our local tourism industry.
