4 раз в тайланде 4 times in thailand

For the fourth time we came to rest in Thailand. since flights from Novosibirsk to Thailand are expensive (40 thousand rubles), it’s easier to buy a tour for 30 thousand rubles to an inexpensive hotel, come and go to your favorite places. The isawanya hotel itself is located at the end of Jomtien and there are no busy disco bars around, etc. isawanya is the final stop of the TUK Tuk shuttle. In the evening, you need to be vigilant because these taxis are trying to charge an additional fee for taking you there. after a couple of days we went to the island of Koh Samet. bought a tour for 6 nights from a local operator. The three of us (I. wife and son) bought from a local travel agency a fishing trip Amazonian predators with a personal driver and a car, a trip to the Bangkok water park with a personal driver and a car, a trip to about. Smat for 6 nights and private transfer with private driver and car. for everything about everything we paid 900 dollars, which I was satisfied with. I’ll tell you straight about fishing for Amazonian predatory fish - it’s not worth the money ($ 100 per person), while for 4 hours in the heat there were only 2 bites and two fish that had to be released immediately. The bite intensity is weak. The water park in Bangkog is worth a day trip, especially if you are with children. True, the water slides there are already dead and after a couple of slopes it discourages any desire to ride, but good roller coasters and all kinds of attractions. Well, now the main thing. . . Koh Samet island. I will warn you immediately change money in Pattaya. since the island has a predatory rate (28 baht for 1 dollar). We lived in a hotel on the beach "Malibu" a good hotel 2500 baht per day. Bungalow with sea view, air conditioning, large bathroom, TV. True, not far from the neighboring beach, we found almost the same hotel with houses overlooking the sea for 1000 baht per day and not crowded enough. (experience comes with age). Food in local cafes located on the beach is a little more expensive than in Pattaya - a total of 500 baht per person. but lots of seafood. In terms of relaxation and freedom of movement, Koh Chang is much more interesting. Oh, and also about the important "GUYS do not buy cell phones, iPhones, tablets in Pattaya. The originals cost about the same as ours, and copies (refinishes) are much cheaper, but there is no guarantee for them. Charging the batteries is enough for a couple of hours of work. The cameras are weak. It is checked up on the bitter experience. Will we go to Thailand again - of course we will! Where else for that kind of money you can have a winter vacation without adventures on your life. In general, we are satisfied with the rest. Especially since my wife is 5 months pregnant. Fruit, sea, sun, seafood. (I ask you not to judge strictly for mistakes, I write quickly in one breath) ALL HAVE A PLEASANT REST !! ! Take care of yourself
