Бюджетный отель-бюджетный отдых. Budget hotel - budget stay.

I flew there from Moscow for 10 hours on a Boeing. Upon arrival, it became difficult to breathe. The air is hot and humid, like in a sauna. The police met us, they did not let us out of the plane for a long time. The police met a youth company of Muscovites-majors who, having drunk, decided to smoke in the toilet of the plane. Their prisons are terrible, God forbid to get there, but they paid off. The asking price is $60. The plane landed before dawn. Bangkog, the capital of Thailand. Huge airport. It is so big that electric cars drive inside it, transporting VIP passengers. Thais are like children, clean, open. You can't shout at them, they won't do anything. We arrived in Pattaya, at the hotel, when it was already dawn, the sun began to bake (9 o'clock in the morning). The receptionist said to wait. Check-in will be after 12:00. I flew in hungry and angry, spent the night on the plane, not sleeping, not eating, walking around looking for where to eat. On the territory of the hotel you can eat and buy everything you need, you don’t have to go out into the city. I was very afraid of being poisoned. I did not dare to eat outside the hotel. And I think I did the right thing. Even on the hotel grounds there is fraud and vague ideas about hygiene. For example, on my arrival, when they were fed on the territory of the hotel, on the street, in a cafe, at first, in borscht, there was a piece of meat and sour cream, as expected. And in the future, meat and sour cream disappeared. The woman who poured the borscht and put mashed potatoes on the plate considered it normal to move the mound of mashed potatoes from the edge of the plate to its middle with her bare hands. And this is a staff member of the hotel. You can imagine what is going on outside the hotel. . My budget was limited and I tried to eat well for breakfast. My tour only included breakfast. Breakfast is ordinary, light: toasters, sausages, vegetable salads, light, scrambled eggs. Don't know what, but eat as much as you want. In the evening I went to a cafe, on the street, on the territory of the hotel, took borscht, mashed potatoes and goulash or a cutlet. The cafe is located by the pool, next to the hotel's beach. There are cuisines of the peoples of the world. And American food with fast food and Western and Eastern and Russian (borscht, mashed potatoes, meatballs, tea). Dinner came out to me at 100-200 baht, this is in rubles, then, 200-400 rubles. The sea is outrageously warm, not at all refreshing, the water in the pool is the same. There are almost always clouds in the sky and besides, the breeze blows from the sea. Sunbathing there is somehow not very good. Do not compare with Egypt (always clear, blue skies). In Egypt, and breathe easier, there is no such humidity. The room is clean, always cleaned, no tips, no problems. but it is impossible to breathe without the air conditioner on. It was very difficult for me. I have a sick heart. Hotel guide, Mohammed, an Egyptian, an Arab, a swindler and an insolent. I went from Tez-tour. The next day, after arrival, there was, as usual, an information meeting (a meeting, a meeting of novice tourists with a hotel guide. Which immediately began with threats. Mohammed said that not a single tourist would leave the hall until he bought at least one excursion. All excursions they are expensive. Outside the hotel, in the city, you can buy the same excursions for half the price of Tez-tour excursions. But, I think, it will hardly be possible to present claims to excursions bought in the city. I bought three excursions: Cambodia (Angkor Wat, a wonderful excursion), the zoo (not bad) and the Kwai River (did not like it, although our Russian tourists were delighted with it). For all the excursions, I gave about 24.000 rubles, which is about 8.000 rubles per tour. The tour cost me 45.000 rubles, for a week, accommodation and breakfast. And another 10.000 rubles for meals, dinners and lunches (this is very modest, without frills). All expenses for the rest amounted to about 80.000 rubles. The tour of Pattaya from Tez Tour was free, but that's just the shops. Tiring, but it's better than sitting in a room. This is how I rested, in general terms.
