It’s good with children on Koh Chang, check out the Paradise Resort & Spa 4 * hotel, a good hotel, a wonderful beach with a gentle bottom and no waves, next to the hotel there is a market, an exchange office, fruit stalls, a five-minute walk to the right along the beach is a good local cafe.

Thanks for the advice. We fly from St. Petersburg. You can choose from Moscow, I want to take a business (and from St. Petersburg to Phuket flights without business for some reason). Children are 2,4,7 years old. According to the budget, I still can’t imagine how much we need, since we usually take surnames or suites. Last New Year, the same composition was in the Dominican Republic - everything is super, but for a long time we could not reorganize (at home) in time. So we decided that in thailand it will be easier

Is it time to start planning for the new year? O_o
We haven't had our second vacation yet - the September one, and we haven't even thought about what country it will be in. And you are already planning New Year's... So it turns out much cheaper in advance or is everything busy later? Share, pliz, how is the flight for a child of 5 years old to Thailand transferred? Maybe we should start planning :)
The whole family is in shock :) Unexpectedly for us :)

In Thailand, it is better to plan in advance, the earlier you book tickets, the cheaper. With hotels it’s a different story, our winter is their high season, I booked last year in October for January of this year, in hotels where the price / quality ratio is good, half of the rooms are already booked, naturally people quickly scoop out the best at a good price.

Oh, I just noticed to the local cafe to the left, don’t take all inclusive in Tae, it doesn’t make sense, you can wander into any restaurant of any of the hotels (restaurants are located right on the beach, they don’t have fences from the sea, that’s the whole point) and eat, at least every time in a new one, the prices in hotel restaurants are almost the same, in local cafes it is cheaper. A portion of soup is around $3, rice noodles with shrimp or meat of your choice $2-2.5, rice with cape or seafood at a similar price. The market has different yoghurts from $0.3 juices from $1.5 ice cream.

Thanks to everyone. And plane tickets are really much cheaper to take in the summer (business at an economy price). For me, a 5-year-old child, to be honest, is already an adult friend. But we just start traveling from 2 months of age (not in Thailand, of course, but calmly in Europe). With a 3-year-old we flew to Bali for the New Year (via Amsterdam, Singapore) on the way - a day, but this is a vacation (how do people travel by train to Vladivostok for 5 days with children?). With a one-year-old for the New Year to the Dominican Republic (12 hours flying ).everything is always good, well, whims sometimes (well, the same thing happens at home).

We usually take a separate plane (some tour operators sell) and through the Booking Hotel, and there are already many sold out for the new year

Li-m3012, I fully support you. It is really better to go to Tai by yourself. And it’s better to start cooking everything in the summer, because. in August-September it already happens that there are no necessary tickets or a hotel. By the way, I also book on bookingcom, but only rates that can be canceled. And if suddenly, closer to the date of arrival, some interesting offer appears at the same hotel, or at another (but equivalent), then we simply cancel the old reservation and make a new one.

in Thailand, it is better to book hotels on r24. This is a booking system for hotels specifically in Thailand and it is Thai. Therefore, in general, hotels there are cheaper than on other systems. There is one more nuance. If you book Pattaya, then when booking in r24, but through the Amira website, the meeting and transfer to and from the hotel will be free. And this is almost 100 dollars. savings. Plus free support for the duration of your stay in the region. And it's better than exploring the country yourself.

Elena25, but I have never come across the fact that prices are somehow changed on booking (neither for the selected hotel, nor for another that was previously viewed. Maybe I don’t notice something? although I also book only the hotel where cancellation is possible.

Li-m3012, it happens. True, rarely. When we plan a trip, I often monitor hotels there + mailing lists come to the mail. So if you're lucky, anything is possible.

Cancellation is possible at any hotel, but only 7 days before the settlement. If there are less than 7 days remaining, a cancellation fee of 1 night stay or 50% of the price will be charged depending on hotel policy.
Another advantage of r24 over booking. On booking you do not pay anything immediately. And you know that the responsibility of the company to the client comes only when the payment is accepted. If there was no payment, then there is no responsibility, everything is on parole. To whom will you show what if you are not accommodated in a hotel? What will you claim to be reimbursed and in what amount if you did not pay anything? And when the money is paid, then the responsibility appears and ask if there is anyone and demand a penalty in a certain amount.

"pattaya vacation apparently outgrown already"
Judging by the fact that you have small children, on the contrary, they have not grown up yet. Pattaya is excursions, active rest. With small children, such a vacation will be very difficult to do. And children will not be interested in anything other than zoos. The rest they will not understand yet (temples, extreme excursions, food, etc.). So for now, you will have to be content with only passive recreation on the islands. I would go to Phuket. And when the kids grow up or fly without them, then go to Pattaya to any hotel and see the sights every day, which you won’t review here even in a month.
By the way, our mayor recently spoke and said that due to the fact that sex tourism has already become irrelevant and no longer affects the increase in the number of tourists, Pattaya will be reoriented to a different image, but he did not say which one. There are rumors that this will be a family vacation, but this is not certain.

everything is in comparison. Now people go to Pattaya not for this. This is the best place to learn the traditions of the country and see very interesting places. This is what attracts tourists, excursions, and not the sex industry. And it's time to change the old and so not relevant image. So the mayor is right. The image of Pattaya as a sex city only hinders it, especially since the sex industry in Pattaya occupies no more than 10% of all attractions. And those who say that Pattaya is only a sex industry, they just haven’t visited anything other than these 10%. There are many tourists who are served by us, and at the end of the holiday they are asked to show at least for a second why Pattaya is called the sex city, because. For 14 days, we have never encountered this. Who is going for what...

I agree, if you want to look at sex workers, you can spend 10-15 minutes walking along Walkin Street, but it’s not worth it anymore, there are many other interesting places where it’s easiest to get from Pattaya.

Hi all!
I do not consider myself an expert in Thailand, but I can sincerely share my experience of independent travel to this country! It was without a tour operator - I went with my wife so many times already! Freedom and independence! You book everything on the site using the travelshopcard international card for tourists and you book everything with discounts for flights, accommodation and excursions. In short, I recommend!
So, the best option is this: buy a card for this program (I bought it for 700 rubles), and then you form everything there on their website.
The best plan is this: a flight to Bangkok, a couple of days there (this one is enough to see everything and even go shopping), from there for a couple of days to some northern resort (they are very interesting: elephants, etc., though not dirty and very beautiful ), then you can already go to the beach in Pattaya there is a standard beach holiday and then go home! Checked - this is the best option for Thailand. If my tips were helpful, I'm very happy! I myself fly on December 28 for the new year along this route. It's my 30th birthday - so I'll celebrate! Although not under the palm trees (this is later, I don’t want to share the “Russian New Year” with our tourists :) but in the show and a great dinner in the center of Bangkok!. See you in Thailand :)
