Reviews Klong Prao Beach (Koh Chang)
It was the first time in Thailand, so I will try to answer the questions that worried me when traveling to this country.
General for those who travel to Thailand.
1. Country of smiles (I read before the trip that all Thais are happy and smiling at you) - a delusion, but they smile when they need to sell something or provide a service. In general, like us Slavs no more.
2. A cheap country is a delusion, prices in pharmacies for medicines are much more expensive than twice as much, for household goods such as light bulbs, extension cords, etc. - like we have in Kyiv.
3. Sockets for electricity - I came across European ones for 220V everywhere, in general, our chargers, etc. will do.
4. Meals - there is no unequivocal answer for the price - in other matters, like with us, but the minimum you need to count on is $ 6 - at the hotel per person what is included; cheeseburger ala McDonald's + french fries (large portion) + fresh vegetable salad (tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, etc. )
e) - you put the salad yourself, as a free supplement, as much as you want, you salt it yourself, pour oil yourself, etc. Drinks for a fee from $ 1 - for a mineral water of 0.5 liters. Small chicken skewers, same $6, etc.
5. The food is spicy, it’s impossible to eat, you have to say all the time (Know spicy) - delusion tried a lot of local things, didn’t say anything, all dishes are sweet and sour, you can eat!
6. Their bread is very expensive, a slice of white bread costs $0.5-1 on average. There is no black bread.
7. Russian language - almost everyone understands it, especially in hotels where there are many Russians. They don’t speak Russian on the street, they got lost in Bangkok, spent 1 hour to find someone who speaks English. I recommend taking a map of Bangkok with you - there is one at the counter in every hotel. If you get lost, at least show the map to the taxi driver and where your hotel is.
eight.
A cash deposit for a hotel - no one warns about this, on average $ 50 no less, they can take $ 100 (only take in local currency) per person - depends on the hotel, for the duration of the stay in the hotel - money is returned upon checkout.
9. When passing customs control for departure from the country, baht can be exchanged for EUR or $ already in the landing zone - this is not a problem.
10. What is a tuk-tuk - it's a taxi, unlike our taxi - it's a pickup truck and you ride in the back, an average of 5-10 minutes drive $ 2, taxi drivers don't like to bargain, especially in resort areas.
About Klong Prao Beach Hotel (Koh Chang).
1. We look at the map of the hotel, rooms (cottages) from B1 to B10, all rooms on V *** are good rooms. Rooms D1-D12 are something like barracks with a long common balcony, rooms G1-G12 are the same as D1-D12, only they are located in the hotel's utility area. Rooms C1-C17 are the same barracks.
2. Rooms С18-С25, with private balconies. Rooms D1-D12, G1-G12, C1-C17, C18-C25 have shower only.
3.
The beach is good, if there is an influx of guests, sunbeds must be borrowed at 6 in the morning. You wear mattresses yourself, as in Egypt and Turkey, no one will bring you mattresses, but they are very heavy and worn. I witnessed how the Slavs took their places on the sunbeds at 6 in the morning and did not appear until 11, then the second Slavs threw off their towels and themselves lay down in their places.
4. The sea is good warm + 30 no less, shallow especially at low tide, swimmers will not like it - you have to walk 200 meters, and it will only be up to your neck. Children are fine. There is no life under water. Only there are many jellyfish you can’t go into the sea, as they burn the body and sea midges bite under water.
5. Kitchen - there were only breakfasts, they gave mangoes, etc. local fruits, and everything is as usual sausages, cheese, vegetables.
6. There are a lot of midges on the island - they bite hard at night, do not take our creams and fumigators, they do not help, I bought a local spray in the store, it only helped.
7.
All rooms, even suites, have ants - this is normal for Thailand. Sometimes a large palm cockroach can get into the room, don't be afraid of it, it doesn't bite - it's unpleasant, but it's an island.
8. A lot of locals come for the weekend.
I recommend the hotel as a good economy option.
