Do Chinese people leave Pattaya for Chinese New Year?
Hello! The Chinese will probably leave Pattaya for their new year? We are planning to go there on January 28th. Another question to the locals - how are the jellyfish on Jomtien / Dong Tharn now?

Chinese New Year was celebrated five times in Thailand. Everything, unfortunately, is just the opposite. Not only were ethnic Thai Chinese (and there are many of them) given a week of vacation, but at least a million more always came to Tai from China proper to "warm up". A week before and a week after NG - the beaches of Kolana are overflowing with our yellow brothers. Chinatown and Chinabeach... :-( Jellyfish, unlike the Chinese, are few.

There are so many of them coming to Tai for the New Year that it’s unrealistic to hide from them. Pattaya was packed in Nong Nuche at the elephant show, this horde crushed everything in its path to lie under the elephant, we went to Koh Chang, and there they are on this island even more. Firecrackers, fireworks, roar. And all this for several days. The next was Bangkok, I won’t say anything about China Town :), in the Paragon City shopping center, it won’t get into the aquarium, there are queues in the cinema. have to wait.

This year there are far fewer Chinese than before. Even to their favorite restaurants afloat, they are rarely taken. And earlier, from 16 to 24 hours, hundreds of buses stood in line at the pier. Now 10-15 buses pass in an hour. On Koh Lan, they are also not on distant beaches.

Thanks guys!!! Of course, it is unrealistic to reschedule the trip, which means you have to adapt to the circumstances)) . We were here last time in the fall of 14, and I think that many Chinese are better than our crisis, fuck it )) . In any case, this is not the worst thing in life))). And already got used to them). Jellyfish are the worst evil, they fucked me that time, the scars on my leg have not yet disappeared. I'm taking a lycra suit now. We will train to Ko-Lan, of course, only there we will get to distant beaches by tuk. Everything is faster and cheaper than before the Military.
Well, what about fruit - why is it in season? For three weeks we plan to eat pineapples and papaya on duty, but what kind of fruit delicacies are there now in bulk and cheap?

Everything is great, as always. Any fruit of your choice. There are two ports on Kolan and steamboats go to them from Pattaya in turn. If you ask and take the right one, which goes around the island, then you won’t have to spend money on a tuk-tuk. Tawaien, where he comes, in my opinion the best (one of the best) bays on the island. . They sell wonderful rocky (stone) lobsters there - a delicious thing. In fact, according to science, they are called differently and do not look very much like lobsters, but they sound exactly like that on the menu of Tavayen restaurants. Rock Losers. Try it, you won't regret it. Take Option Fry Wiz Garlick - fried with garlic. This is the tastiest of the three.

As I remember, there were a lot of Chinese and clouds of Indians on Tawaien? There, along a wooden footbridge, they crossed to a small beach, where there were mostly Russians. I remember that the water there is beautiful (more precisely, the bottom is white with sand)), but the trash can floated)). We have never tried lobsters - I don’t know if they are tastier than our king crabs or scallop? In my opinion, even then the price of lobsters was unrealistic. But, of course, it would be necessary to try) . We didn’t try it cheap - we’ll try it expensive))).

Much tastier and cheaper than crabs and actually large lobsters. They cut them lengthwise and from each half you get a meat patty. No crab bars. They were not available in restaurants in Pattaya before. Only on Kolan and only on Tavaien. Now they are on sale in cafes in the Jomtien Ambassador City area. Looks like they're being caught somewhere near Colan. Recommend. This year I decided to go to the water Thai New Year in April. I've been here many times in the winter, but not yet in the spring.

April - is it considered off-season already? Are hotel prices going down? Shmukty fruits are cheaper?

Was not. Don't know. The heat is hotter than in winter. It doesn't seem to rain every day. I want to see how they water everyone for a week.

Here I have been tormented by the question for a long time)) - after dark, on the beam of Pattaya, the lights in the sea burn in a row and glow until the morning. What could it be ?

Not only water is poured, but also flour is sprinkled (it seems) and the face is painted. But it's all fun and cool! It looks like our Ivan Kupala, only stretched out for a week! The most fun Thai New Year is celebrated in Phuket.

I have not seen such an abundance of Chinese people as in October-November 2016 for twenty years! On Tawaien, a huge number of sunbeds and deck chairs were reserved for them!

Go to Sri Lanka. The sea of u200bu200bfruits is cheaper than in Thailand. The ocean is clean, warm and there are not as many people as in Thailand, and especially there are no Chinese.

"Best" is a network of small shops in Pattaya. One of them - obliquely from the "Dolphins".

Well, good beer in Pattaya, I hope it hasn't run out? Most of all (in 14) I liked Tiger from well-known brands - closest to the classic foam. In Russia, I haven’t been drinking beer for 7 years already, because they really started to drive the poison xs from which it was mixed.

And for 10 years I've been dragging myself from the Thai "Sinyukha". Tiger, Leo, Elefant and other varieties are standard good lagers, and the blueness is unique. Only her characteristic aroma and taste. I look forward to new meetings with her. :-)

Tiger is never a Thai beer brand! Singapore makes it! And the number one Thai beer is Sinkha!

As for beer, of course, everyone has their favorite, this topic is eternal))). No, I don’t differentiate brands by origin - it’s not particularly important, the most important thing is taste and price) . And availability in the next 7/11 . And then for the tiger I had to go from Jomtien to Tesco to Sukhumvit, or to Foodmart. And Elephant - did you mean Chang probably? For some reason, at 7/11 or the family mart, the choice of good beer in glass containers seemed small. But Eurobrands - is there the same taste as our bodyaga? In principle, I did not try these Heinekens-Schmeinekens-Carlsbergs-Schmeisbergs there. . Sinha, in my opinion, is not 0.7 in the glass? only 0.33 and 0.5. Or is it Chang?

Yes, the true brand of Thailand - Sinkha - only 0.33 and 0.5! And on Jomtien (in the same "Familymart" on the territory of "Ambassador City") all brands are represented in full! In Siberia, we also have beer from Thailand and Singapore on sale! Moreover, the prices are much lower than in Southeast Asia!
