we rented a car at the airport from Devid Car rent (booked via the Internet), toyoya vios for all 9 days cost about 6400 baht (baht is approximately equal to the ruble).
About whether or not to take a car. I read a lot of opinions that it is difficult, etc. Of course, those who prefer mass excursions do not need this. For those who prefer freedom of movement, it’s definitely worth it, there is something to see on the island, the traffic is normal, even though they scare you on the Internet ...well, yes, right-hand drive is not such a problem, well, yes, left-hand traffic is the same in Cyprus left-sided . . you get used to it normally. Difficulties caused maps - and the scale is not sustained there, and it’s bad with landmarks, but fortunately the island is small, you won’t go far : )
So, the hotel - check-in is absolutely no problem, ocean view room - always slept with an open balcony to the sound of the sea.
Everything has already been written about the numbers, I will not repeat myself.
I note that if you have a kettle and the habit of having breakfast, it’s quite possible not to take breakfast - after a couple of days we stopped going to breakfast, we consumed coffee with fruit and bought cookies on the balcony.
The beach is wonderful, all epithets will be few. Stormy. For those who do not know how to handle waves, in such weather it is better not to go deeper than knee-deep into the sea (you can drown even at the initial waist-deep depth). Boards were sold on the beach, but the wave is not strong (“not dense”), the boards practically do not catch.
We went on a spree to Laguna and Sheraton, for comparison about them:
There are stalls along the beach line near the lagoon! That is, they simply cut off the hotel from the sea. It’s not clear why they did this to the guests: (It’s pointless to take a sea view there, because your balcony will overlook these benches. In the lagoon, the territory near the lagoon itself looks nice. In the Sheraton it’s beautiful, but far from the beach.
If you are with children who should not be allowed into the waves, and you yourself prefer the pool, then it is very good there.
Cafes - on both sides of the hotel, and to the lagoon, and to the Sheraton . . Tasty, on average, dinner for 1000 - 2000 with wine, depending on the restaurant, but we did not have a goal to save. If you take not seafood, which has a price per weight, but ready-made dishes, it will be much cheaper, and also tasty.
The store, of course, is more expensive than in the city, there is not far from the hotel - they have a pleasant drink from wines based on wine and mineral water "cooler", in bottles of 0.33, it's very good in the heat, I advise you to try shrimp and crab chips (who doesn't tried : ). Fruit on the beach - pineapple 40-50 baht, peeled, cut, given in a bag or on a plate, mango - 40 baht. Pineapples were not bought in the markets, and mangoes were 40 baht per kg. Their mangoes are amazing! (called honey, yellow in color). Not far from Bang Tao there is a Lotus store - only food.
It is better to take fruits in the markets (if you have a car, you will see them), in stores all sorts of lychee, mangosteen, etc. are unripe, and it is difficult to determine from the habit. In stores, if you are tired of restaurants, you can buy ready-made food, in particular, good and cheap sushi. just take the sauce separately, it is very small in the kit.
Coconuts (drink) - 20 baht everywhere on the island, I don’t remember on the beach.
Yes, who has not been to Thailand - they have a problem with the time of sale of alcohol, such as from 11 to 17 you can’t, or something like that (I don’t remember the exact time). But this rule does NOT seem to apply to Seven-elleven stores (a wide chain of minimarkets, if you need to ask where the store is, ask "seven-elleven? " and they will understand you & #61514 ;
Shopping is not Pattaya. In BigCi they collected a bunch of extremely cheap children's things, they didn’t like Lotus, they didn’t find a global souvenir shop. Souvenirs and silk robes found in the Ocean, well, little things near the temples.
Massage.
A few kilometers from the hotel (on the road from the highway to the lagoon) there is a village - there are shops, cafes, and massage parlors.
Don't get a massage on the beach, that's nonsense.
In the salons, Thai was 300 baht per hour, they do it well, they organize a transfer for you, that is, you need to get there 1 time, and then you will negotiate by phone.
I found a business card of the salon where I went: they seem to be open until 23. Dang Massage tel 076 - 270190.076 - 325436, mob 087 - 2723251.089-8729506
In Patong, salons are at every turn, they work until the last visitor.
