Archive: Guessing Game: Where Are We Going?

I’m spending the weekend in New Orleans for Mardi Gras festivities so today’s post comes from the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Archive.

In “Guessing Game: Where Are We Going (originally published 11/24/09)”, I tried to do something unique and creative. After receiving our itinerary we created a quick video game of charades for our readers to guess where we were going in Pattaya, before the official reveal.

The correct answers were:

1. Underwater World
2. Ripley’s Believe it or Not
3. Koh Larn
4. Flight of the Gibbon
5. Tiffany’s Show

Several readers commented with their best guesses, but no one was able to get it 100% correct. They had fun trying though. I thought that this was a novel way to get readers involved with our trip to Thailand in an active way.

Throughout 2010 I’ll periodically post some posts from the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Archive with some commentary on the experience behind the post. Enjoy. Don’t forget to become a fan on Facebook. Click here to do it!

If you’ve been following along you’ve heard that we have received our itinerary from the Tourism Authority of Thailand for our trip to Pattaya. The 6-day trip includes some “must-see” locations and some “optional” locations. Our biggest challenge moving forward will be figuring out how to squeeze in everything into 6 Days. It’s jam packed, but that’s how these trips should be, right?

We’re not ready to reveal exactly where we are going yet. We need a moment to process it all and it is subject to change. But…we don’t want to leave you in too much suspense. So in the few minutes we had tonight after dinner, we made a YouTube video game. In the U.S., it’s called “Charades”, in your country maybe something different – or maybe not. In any event, watch this clip and try to guess where we could be headed off to…

Those are just 5 of the many places we have in store. If you’re having trouble figuring them out, you may want to check out the Ultimate Thailand Explorers Destination Guide to Pattaya for some hints. Oh, and we promise that when we actually visit those locations, they’ll look much better than the recreations we did at our house.

All that’s left for you to do now is comment with your best guess for each of the 5 clips. Leave your comments here, or add them to twitter and include #benbrian
