Tell me how much it costs to eat in a cafe (I'm a seafood lover) on Koh Chang and how far they are from hotels. Thanks.

on chang, prices, as elsewhere, depend on the institution. approximately the same as in Pattaya, nothing more expensive. The same dish can cost 50 baht and next to it the price can be 200 baht. the cheapest way to eat is on the wait sand beach, where you can also find an inexpensive and very decent bungalow right on the beach.
I highly recommend eating at macarons.

about how far from the hotel, on Koh Chang, all the hotels are stretched along the beach, and cafes across the road.

What is a macaroon? And what about the bungalow on the beach? Can they be rented on their own? Sorry, the questions are apparently banal, we have never been to Thailand, we are just looking closely. What would you advise for the first visit (which places), to go through an agency or on your own? Thank you!

so. Macashnitsa is a place of public catering on the street, where, in front of your eyes, Thais prepare dishes of national Thai cuisine for mere pennies. amazing yummy!!!!! prices - from 40 to 100 baht per serving!
but!
all travel agencies categorically do not recommend eating there, scaring people in every way (although they themselves eat there !!!!!!!!) version - they collude with the owners of cafes and restaurants, where you can eat the same thing for no less than 1000 baht.
bungalow - a detached house with ALL amenities, a table outside, usually located on the beach. who prefers multi-storey buildings with elevators (I do not argue very beautiful) the sound of the sea under the window - you are here.
renting on your own is not only possible, but also necessary. algorithm of actions - you arrive, one sits with things, the second goes along the beach and chooses what you like. further, we go to the reception: we say hello, we smile, we bargain, we settle. there are always free houses, perhaps difficulties may arise for the new year, I haven’t tried it ... I think that there will be places at this time, because. these hotels are not presented on the booking sites. good luck to everyone and have a good rest! ask...

I'm also looking at Thailand. Can you clarify what their baht is in comparison with the dollar?

1 dollar = 33 baht. Traveling with a tour operator is a waste of money. The most delicious and cheap food is in macaroni. Need all the details? Read my review, it can also be used as a guide in some way.

unfortunately, we didn’t make it to Chang, but it’s the same there as everywhere else. Now our friends are there, they say that there is no difference with Phuket.

Yes, prices are the same throughout Thailand. these are travel agencies for the unknowing, they raise a wave, like, "do you want to go to Phuket? It's more expensive there ..."

I wouldn't say. Phuket is much more expensive. Objectively, this is the richest province in Thailand, southern, well-fed and self-sufficient. Elite for recreation, already popular even in the CIS. Moreover, this is an island, not the mainland. If only for this reason, the prices for food, hotels, entertainment, transport are much, 2-3 times higher than Pattaya. Even in the off season. For example, the long-established prices for travel from the beach to the neighboring beach (!) - 300 baht, you can get to Pattaya from Bangkok for that kind of money.

allenyshka you are right, but only these prices are higher for tour operators, and if you move on your own, then a motorbike costs 150 baht per day, just like in Pattaya, gasoline too, 7/11 stores are the same and the prices in them too, rice 10 baht, like everywhere else, in macashnits 100 meters from the beach, prices were even lower in Phuket than in Pattaya. But the tour operators there wind up the prices piece by piece and very much. That's why I say: no intermediaries and everything will be ok.

Dear Amir1, I don't remember which part of Phuket you happened to visit for your few days, but it doesn't seem to be very popular. And who told you that we take the above things from the tour operator? some strange comparisons - food, bike, gasoline ... about my example - you go out on the street, you catch at least a tattered tuk-tuk, at least a Camry - 300 baht from Karon to Patong, fares have long been established, at least bargain, at least not. And there is nothing to say about food, Pattaya is definitely a paradise of cheapness, compared to the island. Seven ileven is seven ileven, but besides the store (we have a lot of them at home), there are other places for groceries - markets, carts, the beach, etc. And here it is - "feel the difference."

allenyshka we were in all regions of Phuket. because They didn't sit still, they moved all the time. I didn’t take a taxi, this is the lot of show-offs, and I already said that “if you are smart”, then everything is cheap. I can find expensive taxis and expensive food in Pattaya too. But why? And macaroons in Phuket were cheaper, but not on the beach, of course. You need to work your legs a very long distance of 50 meters to the remote top and everything will be cheap there. On the beach, yes. Here you are right. For show-offs, prices are always higher.

Amir1, tone down a little, please, we seem to be having a conversation. And we are still talking about different things. The same taxi in Pattaya will be cheaper than in Phuket. Let's compare the comparable, not a taxi with a bike, etc. And what's wrong with lying on the beach when they bring you everything to the sunbed? What is the point here? We, vacationers, are just going to have a rest, and not drive to neighboring streets for everything that we currently want. Of course, if you search, and there is time and desire, you will always and everywhere find cheaper, even in the most expensive place, but this is not always convenient on vacation. I thought that we were talking objectively - in this light, Phuket is more expensive than Pattaya.

allenyshka text does not always convey the tone. I didn't think about raised tones. You are right, but firstly, I do not consider Thailand a country where you can just relax on the beach. In Turkey, for me personally, it is incomparably better to engage in this type of recreation (cleanliness, service, ultra all inclusive, etc.). Thailand is made for travel. In this, not every country can be compared with it. Why travel by taxi? And we also often witnessed how people on the beach bought the same Coca-Cola and complained about its high cost, although 50 meters from the beach there was a whole bunch of macaroons and a 7/11 store, but it was humiliating for these people to go there. And on the beach in Phuket, everything is really more expensive, you're right. Only if you leave the show-off at home, then on the contrary it is cheaper, in particular food. Yes, maybe a taxi, I don’t know, I didn’t go, but the food is definitely cheaper than Pattaya, but not on the beach, of course. And this is a fact.

galiya1962 a copy of the passport, and sometimes I just copy the data. Deposit 1000 or 2000 baht (not always). The rights were checked once, we just didn’t take them and paid a fine of 200 baht. Then no one checked. Motobike can be left anywhere without problems. Even helmets are not stolen. There are just a million of them.

Amir1, in this regard, have you thought about the fact that not everyone travels like you, along with your wife, young, beautiful and mobile? And if with small children, even if not babies, and if at all one woman travels with a child or several, without a dad (anything happens), and if a woman travels in position (like my daughter-in-law went to Phuket last winter, with another 5 year old son, however, with her husband) or people of age, or with different, let's say, "disabilities" in health, etc. Not everyone can famously jump on a bike and race in search of where something is cheaper. And while the son-in-law with the male company went on sea fishing, wee-wee and other pleasures, the daughter-in-law with her friends and children stayed at the hotel and on the beach, and they hardly had the opportunity to walk around the neighborhood in search of cheapness. Or did they have to go to Turkey, and their husbands to Thailand? time, in your opinion, there is only travel. And traveling by taxi is nothing wrong, just like buying food and drinks on the beach - people's situations are different. In your opinion, it turns out that all this is show-off and they are simply "humiliating"? Or does everyone with different abilities from yours generally have to stay at home and not go anywhere? Don't just treat everyone with the same brush.
