Отель для неприхотливого туриста. Hotel for the unpretentious tourist.

Good day ! This is our second trip to Tai, the first time we rested in Phuket, in 2014. We wanted to relax in Phuket again, but the prices for tours were hoo! . That's why we chose Pattaya. The hotel certainly falls short of a 4, a solid C grade. But who needs it; air conditioning - yes, hot water - yes, bed linen - clean. What else does an unpretentious tourist need? Yes, the hotel itself is old, there is no deposit, the location is good between the first and second lines. To the sea 2 minutes. Getting to the center is not a problem.
After receiving the keys, our suitcases were immediately loaded into a cart and taken to the room. The room has a hairdryer, kettle, 2 bottles of water, bathrobes, slippers. Soap is only liquid on the wall in the dispenser, cotton buds and caps.
Breakfast from 6:00 to 10:00, good, there is a choice: boiled rice (how could it be without it), rice with vegetables, Thai pasta and spaghetti, bolognese sauce with minced meat, bacon, fried eggs, fried eggs and boiled, toast, cereal , three soups, fruit for fruit salad, yogurt, watermelon and pineapple. Coffee and tea.

Wifi in the room, good signal. There is a TV, there are many channels, but there is only one Russian one. The pool is located on the 4th floor. But we only used it once.
If you go out to Jomtien beach street, turn left and walk about a kilometer, there will be a night market. You can have dinner there. The average check is 400-500 baht for two. We were also advised to go to the market near Pattaya Park Hotel. By tuk tuk 5-6 min towards the center and then along the Russian street 5 min. We liked it more, in terms of choice.
Excursions: before traveling to Thailand, reading on the Internet, writing to several agencies (some did not even answer). We chose the Nika Travel Pattaya agency and made a schedule for our vacation.
Thanks to Anastasia for this, she removed some excursions altogether, she said that they intersect with the excursions that we will visit. After checking in, I phoned Anastasia and made an appointment. Discussed all the points and received vouchers. We liked all the excursions, everything was clear and without delay. For comparison, our operator: Cambodia - 1.200 (Nika - 6900 baht), Samet island, 2 days - 4000 baht (Nika - 2600 baht). Kwai - 5200 (Nika -3700 baht). What is called, feel the difference! We went in small groups, the guides were Russian, they told interesting stories. We really liked the work of this company, for which, thank you very much!
We also went to the fish market in the north (end of Naklua Street), shrimp 320 - 400 baht per kilo. There you will be fried, for 30 baht. A couple of times we went by ferry to Kolyan Island). Liked the beach with the monkeys. Thien Beach is also good, but the gentle entrance to the sea is suitable for those with children. We went to the shopping center Terminal 21 and Central Festival.
Nothing special centers like centers. But near the Central Festival, from the side of the second street, you can taste crocodile meat. Grasshoppers, cockroaches, scorpions - they did not dare to try, although they saw that they were being sold from the tops. Fruits: mango - 50-80 baht, passion fruit and dragon's eye - 80-100 baht, watermelon - 25 baht (all per kilogram).

If we compare Pattaya with Phuket, we got more emotions in Pattaya. And everything was simple and easy. Will we return to Thailand - yes, to Pattaya - yes. In this hotel - we do not know, everything will depend on the price.
