you will need it
I hope you find the story helpful. my tour costs 38.000 rubles for two. Why is no one posting about this? I once searched in vain for information from other tourists, it was necessary for comparison.
12 nights 13 days hotel according to the Fortune system 3 stars, that is, upon arrival, which hotel will come across in this and you will stay. This is considered cheap. I will make a reservation right away that according to the fortune system, I would not want to be. the hotel was bad. It's easier to see where you're going, rather than guessing what's going to happen.
We live in Cheboksary from here and took the tour. he is through Moscow, which is very bad. you lose a day on the way and the same amount for waiting for the flight.
tour operator natalia tour guide upon arrival at the hotel disappeared nothing about him can be seen or heard. There was only one information meeting. and when he was needed, it turned out that he was replaced. and who is unknown. there is no phone on the stand - nothing. the Pegasus tourist where I flew this spring is much better organized.
the baht to dollar exchange rate is 29.4 baht for 1 dollar in exchangers.
since the exchange rate is approximately equal, all prices will be indicated in rubles.
by number. when they saw him, they were stunned. We are basically used to everything, but this...
damp little smells like a toilet without a balcony tv prehistoric - that's me about the hotel ambassabor building inn winn. this hotel has 2 new buildings, ocean wine, etc. , in which, for obvious reasons, we were not accommodated. we got it like many others. to others, it is an old building with shabby walls, leaking roofs and staff who do not understand either English or Russian.
but as they say, let the hotels be chic in egypt and turkey, because by this they win our favor. in Thailand, they don’t go to sit in a room or eat breakfast (in Egypt, a varied buffet, but here it’s monotony = rice sausage egg) but go for a walk around the city on excursions.
excursions should be scheduled immediately. because they fill up quickly and you may not have time to visit all the ones you wanted
do not listen to the guides who meet you as it is supposedly dangerous to take excursions on the street, as well as the fact that they will not count you and you will stay somewhere that the guide will not be Russian.
at a price of about 1.5-2 times cheaper, which you will agree significantly. the famous kwai river cost us 2800 rubles instead of 3700 for natalie tour.
Be sure to go on a free sightseeing tour - you will not be disappointed.
There are a lot of Russians in Pattaya. this is a minus. uncivilization. ohh ahh behind the wall of dismantling drunken men on the street, throwing everyone in the canteen just to get the fastest of all, taking other people's seats on the bus and the most disgusting thing...
Russians are real bastards, because all our excursions are supposed to have a Russian guide to explain to you what's what and a Thai guide to avert eyes for the tourist police.
and here the Russian guys several times taking advantage of the fact that the Thai guide does not understand Russian strongly insulted her personality. and the Russian guide pretends not to hear anything.
do not insult other people.
On the last day of our stay, we decided to swim again. a suspicious streak ran across the bay like a patch of dirt or like oil. we moved away and climbed into the water. where something stung my wife. both hands covered the whole back with spots. most likely the jellyfish escaped from the mud, and here we are. it was very painful. at the reception they showed, they gave the ointment it became easier. went to the first-aid post. and as it turned out in vain.
remember, in case of any accident, you must first call the insurance company. Russian-speaking people will tell you how to do it right. And the first-aid post is very expensive. we seem to have done without spending.
we walked somehow on foot along the central sukhumvit street and, of course, I wanted to go to the toilet. understandably went deeper... as it turned out, the danger in the bushes at every step - cobras, scorpions, tarantulas.
in thailand it is better not to cut yourself or damage the skin, because because of the dampness everything heals for a very long time. the climate there is damp.
toilets by the way in thai are all free.
I went for a foot massage once. so-so-150r.
tea is very expensive in thailand. Take a kettle and plenty of tea with you. bread is very expensive.
we took with us, it seems, not very many rags. as it turned out they are easier to buy there, T-shirts with the inscription Thailand-80r. we took them when we went to Kwai there they are cheap in stores the same 100-130-15-. cheap dresses-200-350-400r.
pearl products. the wife is worried that she didn’t buy earrings for the chain. their large selection in the jewelry factory is also a tour. as it turned out later, it is not very expensive there if you take not gold but silver.
all things there are cheap and not only things but almost all manufactured goods. I liked the lotus supermarket. it is much bigger and more interesting than big-si.
be sure to bargain.
I can’t say anything about food, where it’s better, I didn’t find it. took rice with seafood 50 r. etc.
and a little advice for lovers of home appliances. I bought a video camera before the flight and then regretted it. firstly, it turned out to be defective; secondly, a similar camera in a lotus cost not 14.000 as I took, but 5.000... draw your own conclusions.
It's very easy to walk around the city center. one sat in a tuk-tuk, got out, crossed to the other side of the villages and drove.
remember the movement there is left-handed drivers do not even pass on the pedestrian zone. and we habitually look at the wrong side...
Guys, maybe I didn’t write something, ask, I’ll try to help and suggest everything I know.
