Отдых в Паттайе Holidays in Pattaya

We rested in Pattaya, at The Zign Hotel, at the end of March this year. We went from the operator Natalie Tours. The Aeroflot flight went well, although it is, of course, not Thai Airlines, which I flew before, but in general there are no complaints. I love Thailand very much, I have been to Bangkok and the islands before, this time we decided to go to Pattaya, because my husband thinks that the islands are boring. There were four of us - my husband and I and another married couple - our friends.

I really liked the hotel. We took different rooms: friends lived in a standard room, and we lived in a Junior Suite with a sea view on the 10th floor. The rooms in the hotel are designer, there are several types of decoration, ours was called Cubism, our friends had Pop Art. Both of these design solutions are very interesting.


We took the Junior Suite for a reason. The suite consists of two rooms: a bedroom with a toilet and a bathroom, and a living room with a large sofa, a coffee table and a long counter - either a bar or a kitchen one.
Plasma panels - in both rooms. We decided that we needed a place where four of us could hang out, and this living room served just that purpose. Room size - more than 70 square meters. m. And the bedroom is just the size of a standard room. That is, we had a bedroom per family plus a common living room. We decided that it would be more convenient, and we were not mistaken. It may seem strange to someone to come to Pattaya and hang out in a hotel, but we went for 2 weeks and knew that bars could get boring, I don’t like walking late at night at all, but spending an evening in a nice room with beer and chatting is not while sitting on the bed, it is very pleasant.

The main buildings where we lived were recently renovated (a couple of years ago, as far as I know), so everything is brand new. The hall is huge, there is always a place to sit comfortably with a laptop (there is free Wi-Fi in the hall, I did not catch it in the rooms).
The staff is very polite, the lifters take it under the hood) True, there were a lot of people in the hotel, so no special attention was paid to each guest, but it was not necessary.

Breakfasts are very tasty and varied - at breakfast you can have lunch and dinner, as there are always hot dishes, side dishes and even soups. We had lunch and dinner in the center or in nearby restaurants.

The hotel pool is large and very interesting - multi-level, with some nooks and crannies that you can explore, and a waterfall. Across the road from the buildings - the territory of the villas of the same hotel, there is a swimming pool, but smaller and more boring. And our pool always had free sunbeds, which pleased.

The hotel is quite far from the center, it takes an hour and a half to walk, which is not very pleasant in the heat.

But it takes 10 minutes to drive by car - a taxi costs about 150 baht (the baht and the ruble are almost equal, it’s convenient that you don’t need to transfer), you can also walk 5 minutes to the tuk-tuk stop and get to the center for 20 baht per person. The very center is Walking Street - as the guide told us, it's something like the Arbat) I would not say so, but the meaning is clear - a pedestrian street, where in the evenings there are only tourists. There is really a lot of entertainment, the vast majority are obscene) But, I think, it makes no sense to paint Pattaya especially, and there are tons of reviews about it.

We went to Koh Samet for one night. I recommend - a paradise island, white sand, clear sea. There really is nothing to do there, but the beach holiday is wonderful - just the exact opposite of Pattaya.
At the hotel, we spent almost every evening an hour or two in our living room: we looked at and sorted the pictures taken during the day, drank local (by the way, very pleasant) beer, watched movies (there are almost no Russian channels, but we watched in English). So we were very pleased with this combination of numbers.
