Is knowledge of the language required?
Tell me, in November, my husband and I wanted to go to Tai, the hotel was chosen by Kata Beach. I read the reviews and was upset that the hotel does not have Russian-speaking staff, and we have no way with the language. Should I leave this hotel? Can you recommend some other good hotel on Kata beach.

But you will have a Russian-speaking guide, so I don’t see any special problems.

Much can be explained with gestures. On the tour once there was a Russian-speaking guide in Amasonia tour - the girl has been living and working in Tae for more than one year, I don’t think this is an exception, we didn’t specifically look for a Russian-speaking guide, but received it. There are many Russian tourists around - someone will help translate if there are problems, but don't look for Russian-speaking staff - better look for a hotel where there are a lot of Russian tourists - and they are in almost every hotel. So there is nothing to be especially afraid of.

Kata Beach is one of the most favorite hotels for "Russian" vacationers (i.e. Russian speakers from the CIS), so you will not be left alone with problems. The guide, in addition to meeting at the hotel upon arrival, you run the risk of not seeing it again - if you refuse his services and take excursions on the street. Well, unless you are lucky for the so-called survey (and this is a mandatory program - there is also a souvenir shop, a jewelry factory, a rubber center! - money-mani-mani ...)

My husband and I were in Thailand in 2008, it was very difficult for us, we don’t know their language, and we studied German at school, but the Thais just don’t understand us.

Knowing the language is desirable, but not required.
There is a good anecdote: 2 Odessans are walking along Odessa, a lost Englishman is walking towards them and starts asking them with a plea in his eyes how to get somewhere. Odessans look at him, at each other, they cannot understand anything. The Englishman waved his hand dismissively and left. One Odessan says to another:
- Well, what's the point that he knows English?

In Pattaya, Russian-speakers are accommodated compactly in a certain list of hotels - max. 20-30 hotels / and there are more than 200 in Pattaya /. If it’s good to walk around the city, you can find pronounced Arab or European quarters, where you won’t find a menu in a cafe in Russian, or any signs.
And it's convenient. Yes, you will not find Russian-speaking staff in the hotel, but this will not be a problem, because. around the infrastructure is focused on the respective tourists. I met "talking" staff only at the jewelry factory in Pattaya.
And for communication, sign language is enough, determine the food in the menu from the pictures, the price of goods - you will be shown it on a calculator. Everything is very simple....
