Хороший отель Good hotel

Vacationing with friends. Personally, I am in Thailand for the 5th time, I love this country, the rest is inexpensive and always interesting. The hotel "tower" for the 3rd time. During the check-in, problems arose: for some reason, the guides of the Biblio Globus themselves dispose of who should be settled in which building (and we took a ticket only to the tower). They sent me to a small building, got N601 with a view of the market, and a huge exhaust turbine hummed loudly under the window. We refused, then we were offered 802, the same thing... Someone also refused the number 517, because. the windows were covered by the green roof of the neighboring house, of course, they tried to suck it in for us too. In general, we rested on the horn. The senior man at the reception wanted to swindle us for money, supposedly when changing the number we have to pay a few extra. thousand! But seeing that nothing suits us here, but we are breaking into the "tower", the girl at the reception called there, and we went to a large building. We were immediately given N2403 with a gorgeous view of the sea and the city! This whole scandalous story lasted 3 hours, and in the end we did not have time to go to the sea... The mood was "corrected" only after dinner with beer and local rum "San Sanych".
I was struck by the sea: this time it is transparent and clean! (It was always cloudy and a little debris floated). The beach was also clean and removed the pontoons, the cat. covered the beach. It was a little annoying that there were no buoys, because. usually swim back and forth. We didn’t take sunbeds, they didn’t get burned even once, we observed the regime of the sun.
Russian street is still full of cafes, there are more shops. We went to "Konboran" more often, where the food was cheap and delicious. I didn't like it in "Syto-drunk", "12tveelve restorant", "At Natalia's" and others. And more expensive. For example, fish on the coals with french fries, herbs, sauces cost 150 bows, and in other cafes 250-300 bows. We also compared prices at night markets - it's cheaper here, and fruits, and cosmetics, and clothes. So buy everything here and don't waste your time! Go to the "Vovan shop" for leather, there are always sales and cheap. Belts, for example, were 100 bows each (220 rubles). Sometimes I took bags of 100 bows, summer ones.

They didn’t want to buy excursions, because we have already been everywhere, but could not resist the "Sea Voyage" for 2590 bows: the hotel guide Elena painted that there would be a maximum of 30 people. all over the island, clean sand, clear sea, all inclusive! SCHCHAZZZ! Wanted exotic! We were stuffed into two small boats of 35-38 people, we jumped from the boat to the shore waist-deep in water, and there was also a small storm, so I was shaken, and I got a huge bruise on my leg. In addition to everything, this "uninhabited" island is so littered that there is nowhere to sit on a narrow coastal strip without contemplating these heaps... The guide Sam (Korean Vyacheslav Khan) saved the situation. He was so optimistic, witty, entertained everyone to the fullest! Thank him very much! Water, food, cocktails were more than enough for everyone!
I also liked the overview from the tour operator: finally, they excluded the jewelry and expensive leather shops, and put together the "Orchard" with a snake show and cockfights, went to Khao Chi Chan mountain with a golden buddha (previously these were separate paid excursions), an erawad pharmacy, a tea shop , where they tried teas and tinctures, snake cosmetics, a latex factory (and I just had to buy a pillow as a gift), in general, 6 hours with benefit, we were satisfied.
Separately, about Elena, the hotel guide. After buying the tour, she didn’t even ask about her impressions, she didn’t help with a SIM card, when we turned, her phone. she didn’t, like they were tired of calls, and in general she was very unfriendly. Last year, the guide Tatiana, who looks like actress Merial Streep, was just super in every way!
About the hotel: cleaned every day, but wash only in the center of the room. Beds were changed 3 times in 2 weeks, towels - every day. Water, tea, coffee, sugar, shampoo, gel - no problem. But this is the second time we have encountered ants. We asked the maid for a remedy, sprinkled it, everything is ok. The food is not very varied, but you will not stay hungry, I ate scrambled eggs, a piece of toast, sausages, greens, ham, muesli with milk. "Washed it down" with watermelons and pineapples, very sweet!
The rest of the fruits were bought: mango, mangosteen, sappadila, melon tree, papaya, sweet apple, small pineapples with duchesse flavor, mmm!
The king of fruits - durian was eaten already 2 times, you just need to take a whole one. They cut it in front of you, take out the cotyledons (4-7 pieces, they should be yellow, soft and oily), give you gloves, and within 15-20 minutes you eat this divine fruit!
P. S. We are happy with our vacation and I will definitely come back here again!
