Good weather as always. Hot, humid.
What are the criteria for a hotel?
аватар Lanka-Lanochka
From 4 * - solid and fresh - Ravindra in a pleasant Mediterranean style.
Still - from cozy family hotels - Rabbit Resort.
However, we can definitely say that for the sake of a beach holiday in Thailand, you need to choose the islands, not Pattaya.

In principle, we want a beach holiday, but since the first time in this country, of course, I would like to see the sights. Any advice on how to plan your vacation? What is the difference between hotels 4 and 5 (if all inclusive is not needed?
аватар svtol
it is better to take a hotel in the north of Pattaya (and you don’t need a 5-ku) - if you will travel a lot. -cleaner water. In January, the water in Jomtien was very dirty. The Aisavan hotel has now been resold and what is now unknown. but according to people's opinions, there are very few beach places - free of charge. you need to borrow at 7 in the morning or even earlier. you can take a long beach hotel. and there are places to eat nearby. in the center of Pattaya only in the pool, because during the day the tide is out. and dirt, but from Pattaya everywhere - on excursions. You can take it on the street - without fear. But in general, the right advice is to start with reviews.

We went in early April, it's hot. Were in 3 - ke, more for Tai is not needed, because you will spend very little time in the hotel. All inclusive is not needed at all, the food there is very cheap and tasty
аватар Amir1
good in March. Pattaya is not for the sea, for sure. But here are interesting excursions. If I were you, I would fly to Bagkok, settle for 2 days on Rambutri, look around the surroundings and temples, go to Ayutthaya, then move to Pattaya, find a good guest house (the hotel is not needed there), travel on all excursions, and then, how much there was time left, flew to the islands (Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Chang, Phangan), rented a villa on the beach there (again, better than in a hotel) and spent a beautiful beach holiday. If you need help, please contact me, I live in Pattaya and will help with organizing excursions and leisure activities. I can also help you find accommodation. If you want a phone number, write in a personal.

so Amir1 is not a tourist, but a travel agent. and when I read your comments, I thought that you ... but also not bad. but to go to Thailand yourself for the first time, you need to know English well - at least. you need to have good insurance, etc. so for the first time or with a firm or with Amir, if not very expensive.
аватар svtol
in November 9, you write that you went to travel, but now that you live, is it all the same?
аватар Pachok
For the first and subsequent times we went to Thailand without a company. There is nothing complicated about this, but the language that they call English :)) is really not easy to understand.

It is strange, however, that Pattaya is not imposed as a place for a beach holiday. He blurted out one - and the province went dancing and chatting ... First - how long can a white man stay without harming himself in the sun of these latitudes? One and a half to two hours maximum. The rest is a shadow, a bar, a number. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to adequately squeeze out more time and evaluate the "beachness" of the place. The second - the sea is dirty in the bays, which, like lenses, concentrate all the garbage off the coast. If the hotel is on a cape, there are no problems with dirt. Naturally, due to powerful tides, the sea contains suspended sand and is not as transparent as in Egypt, but you can swim, dive and just cool off perfectly. In places of pure sea there are, of course, not cheap hotels. If you are ready to pay 5.5+ and 5++, then take one of the Royal Cliff hotels. Four hotels are located together. Moreover, the most expensive - Royal Cliff Wing (5 ++) is considered the most sophisticated hotel in Southeast Asia.
аватар svtol
I also agree. you can swim in Pattaya. and bathe for 2-3 hours. all the beauty of Pattaya -excursions and the sea and islands -all in one.go -do not regret.if money goes nowhere, you can take the cliff, but I would advise you to spend them on excursions.4-ki there are also normal. and - to eat - wherever you look.

Vadim115,, but it's strange to me that Pattaya is being imposed as a place for a beach holiday :)))
As travel agencies began to carry people to Pattaya 15 years ago, it's cheap, and the stereotype that Thailand is Pattaya has remained. Prices have already risen a long time ago, and people have traveled around a bunch of islands, and discovered such mainland resorts as Krabi or Hua Hin, but a newcomer who comes to the agency is still shoved this Pattaya, regardless of whether a company of good fellows is going to pull carrots, or mothers children are taken to the sea to improve their health :)))
аватар HotLine
to Pachok. Again, your agencies are to blame. For many years, Phuket, Koh Samui, often Krabi, etc. have been MANDATORY shown in info tours to Thailand. Direct charter flights to Phuket are already flying from Moscow, which are loaded by operators through agencies.
The agency has no interest in selling Pattaya specifically. Moreover, it is more profitable for the agency to sell tours NOT to Pattaya, as they are more expensive (and we live on a percentage of the cost of the tour).
I have already suggested that you discuss real issues, and not engage in agency denunciation. For example, why are there no charters from Ukraine to Phuket?
аватар Pachok
So there are no charters from Ukraine and to Bangkok. I think the lack of tourists.
Of course, it is profitable to sell NOT Pattaya, but who will buy this "non-Pattaya" at such a price? The transport difference (by air) between PTT and non-PTT is no more than 200 dollars, and more often 100-150 dollars. Hotels are comparable in price. And the difference on the finished tour is far from $ 200, and not even $ 400. Island holidays in Thailand are already positioned as a higher-class holiday, although there is practically no difference in price on the spot.
HotLine, in the future I will try to refrain from "agencies"; bad character, sorry... But there are some objective things too - for example, the unprofessionalism of many agencies, growing in proportion to their number.
аватар HotLine
I respect open and self-critical people.
Unprofessionalism among managers, of course, is. But he is also objective. They don’t teach at institutes, info tours to Tai are expensive, it’s difficult to recoup these costs, the staff turnover is high - (girls, besides personal circumstances, are still market, they have become a little more experienced - they open their own agency). This is objective. This is how a market, a service, is formed. The crisis, by the way, accelerated the process of improvement. When the market grew by 30-40% a year, any amateurism passed. Now few people risk starting from scratch, and inefficient ones die at an accelerated rate.
A few numbers. The infotour to Tai is four times more expensive than the infotour to Egypt. And the number of outgoing tourists is the opposite. Therefore, today a qualified manager for Egypt is no longer a rarity.
аватар svtol
oh you guys are wrong! check tickets for february lot? and as for Pattaya, so the whole north and all of Siberia flies to rest. we are closer to Egypt, Turkey, and they are closer to Thailand. and their prices are not very expensive, compared to salaries. So Pattaya has become the same as Sochi-Yalta in the USSR.
аватар Pachok
Well, yes, it is.
There are few tickets, but this seems to suit all market participants. Apart from the tourists, of course, who would prefer the flights to be on fire. Apparently, none of the operators can raise such a charter program on their own or predict that they will not fill the plane on their own. And on the same "Aerosvit" (direct flight only with them) all firms selling tours to Thailand land their tourists. And a clear shortage of tickets was observed only before the New Year.
Well, let's wait, maybe Thai will start flying, Etihad has already appeared, Aeroflot and UIA are already competing with Aerosvit in terms of price. People are starting to expand the geography of their travels :))))
аватар svtol
somehow we flew to Sri Lanka with an Aeroflot - we thought we’d die. The plane was probably pre-revolutionary. We fly to Thailand only with an Aerosuit and see obvious degradation. landing.
аватар Pachok
We also flew all the time with Aerosvit, and also noticed that now and three years ago - two big differences: (((In December we flew to Prague, I was just in shock - an old plane, broken small chairs, a sandwich with bad fish. The same flight two years ago was on a good plane, with normal standard seats.
We decided not to risk again with Aerosvit in Bangkok, we took UIA + Etihad with a landing in Abu Dhabi. Who flew - praise, they say it's better than sitting for 10 hours in a row. We will see.
аватар Amir1
Check out Pachok and you will be pleasantly surprised. And when to us? Can we call?
аватар Pachok
From April 30th to May 17th. Amir, let's call each other closer to departure! My husband and I would love to meet you :) The only inconvenience is that we were not going to Pattaya. The route so far is approximately BKK-Puket-Samui-Tao-Hua Hin-BKK. The bag is questionable. Possible (but under a big question) Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Cambodia.
аватар Amir1
cool route. Well, call anyway, maybe I won’t be in Pattaya either, I’m also not sitting still.
And in Phuket only on the southwest coast. It's pretty good there. I especially liked Yanui beach.
аватар Luba.5
Aeroflot has flights 553 and 554 to Thailand every day, the Airbus A-330 is a chic plane, the flight lasts 9-30, the planes are new, the food is good 2 times, there is a TV in each chair, we just arrived and were very pleased.
аватар Pachok
Lyuba, this is from Moscow.
From Kyiv it turns out with a transfer in Moscow, but why do we need it? It's better to sit down with the Arabs.
