Thailand is truly a city of contrasts. Everything is mixed up here. Spices, incense with garbage, expensive boutiques with delusions, quarters with macarons. Thailand is for everyone and everyone takes out of it what is more valuable to him. For someone shopping, for someone relaxation, for others sex tourism, for others meditation and solitude. Thailand is diverse. My journey was fun and interesting. In this part, I will focus on the Baiyoke Sky hotel in which we lived for only 2 days, so to speak, a transshipment base, between rest and the airport.
The hotel is one of the highest, a bit old of course, but clean. Our room was on the 26th floor. Everything is as usual. Good view from the window. Large bathroom, comfortable bed, bathrobe and slippers, TV without Russian. channels. In the room we almost never happened, left at 8 came at 24 o'clock. Next to the hotel is a rag market, such as shuttles, there are some good things, bargain. Fruits and macarons with shrimp and sea food are also here. Smells. . . A combination of the incomparable. The movement of the transport is simply shocking, everything is honking, everyone is trying to crush your leg)) Taxi. It is better to take a normal taxi, the meter immediately turns on, on a tuk-tuk the price is negotiable from 10 to 100 baht. Near shopping centers, you can walk. Huge Pantip Plaza, where there is only one electronics on 4 floors, Siam Plaza has expensive boutiques with branded clothes, there is also an oceanarium. As a whole, I didn’t like Bangkok, it’s a very noisy and dirty city, the smog from transport is worth it. But if you want good excursions, then you should definitely visit it, there are floating markets, beautiful Buddha temples, an aquarium here, various shows here. Choose for yourself what suits you and travel ahead.
