Рекомендации по отдыху Holiday advice

Thailand is an unusually colorful and interesting country.
Thais are friendly to tourists, many speak English. My husband and I rested at the JP Villa 3 * hotel. First time in Thailand. I liked the hotel, very good service, cleaning with change of towels and bed linen - every day. The room has a safe, air conditioning, a refrigerator filled with 2 bottles of drinking water every day. The territory is not big, everything is very compact. The hotel has an elevator, a restaurant where you can eat. Prices are reasonable, 150-200 baht per person, including salad, first and second courses. Small swimming pool. The hotel is located in the northern part of the city, it takes 20-30 minutes to get to the center by tuk-tuk with a transfer. Of course, this is very inconvenient. Therefore, the hotel is compensated by good service and cleanliness. I recommend it only for young people who are ready to walk a lot, because. there will be enough money for the road. The breakfast is quite good, everything you need is there. You can also have lunch and dinner at Tesco Lotus - this is a large supermarket, on the second floor of which there is an inexpensive dining room - per person, on average 50-70 baht. On the first floor on the left, you can put money on the phone. Also, you can have a bite to eat right on the street, behind the hotel there is a market where the Thais themselves eat. But this is an amateur, of course : )) the food is very different from ours, very spicy seasonings and sauces. But you can buy fruit, the prices are ridiculous (pineapple - 20 baht, bananas - 10, etc. ). Money for the phone can also be filled in the Family market store - a little further than the market.
If you want to dress up - then you are at the Festival Center. A very large shopping center with world brands.

I also recommend a real Thai massage, the Health Land Spa treatment center is a real bliss, for only 450 baht. Contact only professionals, I do not recommend massage on the street. Be sure to visit Wolking street - a huge number of bars, restaurants and all sorts of entertainment if you want exotic))) Life is in full swing on Walking Street until 5-6 in the morning. You can break away completely.
Also, excursions can compensate for the remoteness of the hotel from the center. I advise you to contact Masha, she is a Thai woman who speaks Russian. Prices - the most reasonable, much cheaper than the major tour operators. The quality of excursions is in no way inferior, and maybe even exceeds. Tel 0898154052, tell Yulia and Rustam - will make a discount. Excursions are required:
Alcazar show
Nong Nooch Garden
bangkok
River Kwai
Samet Island -
about him separate information.
From the hotel you need to get to the sea by tuk-tuk for 15-20 minutes. We were at Wong Amat beach. This is a city beach. We didn't like it. The sea in the city is terrible, muddy and with a bad smell. Therefore, many of our tourists go to the islands, crowded with people, paid sunbeds, everything is expensive, there is a chance not to get on the last ferry back, because there are a lot of vacationers.
Exit - distant islands, prices in ascending order - Samet, Koh Chang, Coconut Lagoon. Ideal for 2-3 days, chocolate tan is guaranteed. This is a real paradise - white sand, the cleanest transparent sea, coconut palms... in general, sheer romance))) It is best to go to the islands at the end of your vacation, because. all of the above excursions are quite intense.
In terms of finances: my husband and I took with us $ 700 each. This was enough for all excursions, massages, lunches and dinners, souvenirs, medical cosmetics, and some clothes. No major purchases. We spent everything, to the penny))) This is the minimum that you should have.
Good luck and have a good rest!
