Будьте осторожны! Be careful!

Think a hundred times before checking into this hotel. Or rather, settles in this hot spot, on the outskirts of the city, in the criminal slums!!
My goal is to warn of danger based on personal experience. It was the second time in Thailand, I went with a friend. Both were sure that we knew the city well, the distance from the center didn’t scare me too much, there were no problems with transport and it costs a penny, they didn’t take a motorbike. We saw the true picture on the spot, after settling in. The view from the balcony to the wasteland-garbage. The shower is the whole bathroom, since there is no bath in the literal sense. The food is a solid three, monotonous, the pool is good, they are cleaned for 4ku, the staff is quite friendly, like all Thais in general. The disaster lies in the location of the hotel itself. !!!
To get to Severnaya Street (where the Tesco Lotus, the exchange office and other things that enthusiastic tourists write about) you need to go along the dirty and terrible road (we called it Death Road). It is right behind the hotel, to the left. The traffic there is very busy, not a hint of a sidewalk, it is a simple road, which is also loved by local criminals, since it is convenient to do "business" there, to work.

We returned at 4 pm from Lotus with purchases, walked along the edge on the left side. I had a handbag over my shoulder, a bag and a camera in my hands, as soon as the barbed wire began, a motorbike rushed to the right, the person sitting behind me grabbed my bag, pulled it hard. They dragged me on my back along the asphalt until the strap of the bag broke. Everything happened in 10-15 seconds. I will not describe further. short. First aid was provided by the staff at the hotel, I ran to the hotel covered in blood, and the police were called from there. Then there was the Bangkok-Pattaya hospital. And spoiled rest. Everything happened on the 4th day, in broad daylight. From that moment on, we practically did not move at all on foot, we took a taxi, including from the hotel. I am glad that by Moscow standards the prices are ridiculous, you can bargain with a street taxi. It was somehow not up to excursions, I am silent about the beach. Unfortunately, this incident filled the impressions of Tai with black paint: the sun, warmth, a sea of ​ ​ delicious, cheap fruits. The hotel is exclusively Russian and Thai visiting. After the incident with me, there were practically no seats by the pool.
Of course, personally, I'm unlikely to return to Thailand, especially to Pattaya. If you are planning to stay at this hotel, consider in advance the means of transportation from the hotel. DO NOT WALK that road, Don't ruin your rest! !
