On Easter Sunday...........
............ I had a four-hour visit from long-time friends who were on a cruise ship that docked at the port between Pattaya and BKK, at Laem Chabang .............. they had boarded the ship in Hong Kong having flown there from the USA ............. then a couple of stops in Vietnam, Laem Chabang, Singapore, Phuket, then on to spots in India through the Suez Canal and ending up in Athens. ............ the cruise line was OCEANIA CRUISES www.oceaniacruises.com ................. check out the web site....... not sure, but would assume that you could get on at any stop and get off at any subsequent stop ........... for example get on in Laem Chabang and get off at Phuket???? ......... for the price of a ticket. In their case they had a choice of many excursions for the day they were in port at Laem Chabang, one of which was a "Day at the Beach in Pattaya" ........ they were dropped off at Royal Garden's Marriott Hotel at about 11:30 a.m. and picked up again at the same spot at 4:00 p.m. Not much time but since we had not seen each other in decades was really a special way to dine for Easter. Would love to know what you find out if you research this.
