Thailand at the price of Turkey
Tired. A very difficult year. In 2015, I rested only a week in Malta, it’s impossible. We celebrated the New Year 2016 and I began to look for a country for new experiences and adventures. There are many offers, different countries and different prices. And then I found a great offer to Pattaya for 2 weeks with accommodation and flights for only $500, but from Moscow.
Planes don't fly, there are trains, buses, but somehow I don't feel like it, and then I found Bla Bla Car. Someone is looking for fellow travelers to reduce the cost of the trip, for someone it is commerce. In any case, they took it from home, brought it to Domodedovo, and back the same way.
We left home at -25 degrees below zero, arrived in Tai at +35 degrees, all in fur coats and velvets. Orenair Airlines, the plane is packed to capacity. Kudos to the pilots! Easy takeoff-soft landing, fed 2 times, than tolerable. The passengers are adequate, I was afraid of drunken inadequacies, it passed.
This is my third time in Thailand. The first time we lived in the center on the second street, almost near Walken Street, the second time we were only in Bangkok. And now they lived in the Protomnak area, the greenest area of Pattaya. And what was my surprise that here you can swim in the sea, before that we went to the islands. Not a lot of people, but not a few either. The hotel is average, I can’t say anything bad, What is the price of such a hotel, but we didn’t fly in to sit in the hotel, but only spend the night in it. From walking, they broke all conceivable and unthinkable records, but for someone it was necessary.
Host Coral Travel, excursions were taken on the street, because someone can't add up their price. A small example, an excursion to the River Kwai U Coral $ 180 for one, with a full bus load, it cost us $ 210, for three and 20 people on the bus, and this is mobility and comfort. They also took a boat trip Madagascar, this is a newly built pirate galleon that follows the same route as the others: an island for swimming, fishing, monkey island, lunch and another swim in the open sea. Animation. Pirates are entertaining to the fullest, rum flows like water (everything is paid for) and at the end of the foam party. Fully filled and eventful one of the days. We also took a trip to Nong Nooch Park. I never cease to be amazed at how things are changing for the better, beautiful! worthy! And we ourselves went to the Khao Kheo Zoo, it turned out to be more expensive than an excursion, but we walked and fed and took pictures all day.
Animals within walking distance
Park Madame Nong Nooch - it's better to see once than hear a hundred times
The best elephant show in Pattaya
Sea excursion Madagascar.
A chance happened to me on monkey island. At the sight of a package of sweets, a gang of monkeys rushed at me. When retreating, I fell into the water and drowned my camera and mobile.
Excursion to the River Kwai, one of the brightest impressions
The legendary road of death. During its construction, a lot of people died, who were simply thrown into the water
7-step Erawan waterfall
Food. It's for taste and color. The first time, when I was with my husband, we ate only in restaurants, because we read reviews about street food at macarons. Here we went to the extreme. We were looking for street cafes, mainly in bazaars, from Thais. I discovered soy sauce for myself, now I have it everywhere at home. We went several times, or rather looked for cafes where we especially liked the food. And delicious and cheap. This time we even tried all sorts of insects. We drank a lot of different smoothies. A lot of different fruits, ate, ate, ate.
Tom Yam soup with seafood. Enough to try once for the whole vacation
The inscription speaks for itself
Corn ice cream. Sold in Big C. We went for it three times
An abundance of fruits. For example, 3 kg of mango is 100 baht, which is almost 3 $
Maybe tasty, but not eaten
Street food galore
And this is what we ate. Something like donuts with different fillings (mushrooms, shrimp, meat, fish)
And so they ate. Kind of like meatballs in dough. Not bad
Ships came already 2 times. Well, so tasty! I have chicken with vegetables and cashew nuts.
They ate such fish in salt. So, I'm not very good
And on Kwai, the most delicious pancakes with banana and crispy crust
This time they even ate spider bugs. Not bad, only the paws get stuck in the teeth
Ice cream with durian is the rarest stuff
We stocked up in the Big With various Thai things. From soy sauce to breadcrumbs. Houses like finds
Shopping. Of course, definitely! After all, one of the profitable parts of Thailand is light industry. Prices are excellent. We don't have a design. Bargaining is a must! I even bought silicone suitcases, I hope they will last a long time. In general, they supported the country's economy a little.
Gold and diamonds, why not?
I bought myself such a souvenir
We bought different T-shirts, shorts.
You can buy an elephant in Thailand, if you wish
Nand of course Thai massage. In the salon, I only did my legs, at least at least the krepatura was removed from our hiking. And on the beach, I found a woman Mia, this is the takeaway of the mod. Only 200 baht and an hour and a half of excellent professional massage. What a pity that I found her two days before departure.
Super professional, I know this well
