In any agency, there are plenty of them. If you are interested in the Russian-language version, then such "monsters" as "Ilves-tour" do expensive and in Russian. In general, all "Russian" Thai travel agencies set prices much higher than their local counterparts or counterparts from other countries. It happens that the difference is 2-3 times.

And yet it is better to take excursions from our travel agencies, tour operators. Because there is a very big difference (if anyone knows) between a Russian-speaking guide and a Russian-speaking one. Thais speak Russian in such a way that they need to be translated again and the tour will be ruined. You should definitely go to the River Kwai for 2 days and it is better to overpay a little and go to the Kwai Jungle Rafts hotel without electricity. This hotel is included in the 7 most exotic hotels in the world. And be sure to Bangkok, a lot of temples. And the prices for excursions between ours and not ours do not differ much (10-20%). GOOD LUCK. You will love TAY!

"And the prices for excursions between ours and not ours do not differ much (10-20%)"
This is not true, they are different. Just like booking hotels through them or renting accommodation right on the spot is much more expensive than through any Thai, English, German agency. Russians in Tai are the most "smart".
There are many excursions with visiting temples, but these are purely excursions, they will not teach to pray and fall into nirvana there.

It is better to book hotels with a tour operator, and not with firms and the hotels themselves. The tour operator bought the rooms in advance and they give them away cheaper than the hotels themselves, so as not to be left behind. And they buy hotels in bulk and they have good discounts from hotels.

I'm sorry for the typo - they don't buy hotels, but rooms

We arrived in Pattaya - watched the Russian channel - Ilves and chose a tour for ourselves or took a Russian-language newspaper in the hotel and read it.
As for companies, they wanted to go themselves, as always, but they calculated and it turned out to be more expensive!!! and just arrived from Chang, it turned out - we were right.

dear mother... a tour at Ilves, hotels at the operator...
Comrades! More expensive than Ilves, there is no one in all of Thailand!
beckmannbor, and neither the hotel nor the operator! On international booking sites! That's where the normal prices are. Moreover, the operator can sell this particular hotel, say Pattaya Garden, and have a certain price for it, even if it is normal, BUT! Around this hotel for the same money there are a lot of better hotels that the tour operator simply does not offer! There are hundreds, thousands of them. And the operator operates, sorry for the tautology, with two dozen.
I repeat that all of the above does not apply to Pattaya, where the package may be cheaper than a self-tour.
But which agency will sell me such a route:
Bangkok-Pattaya(3 days)-Koh Samui(6 days)-Krabi(4 days)-Bangkok(2 days) for $1200 per person in 4* accommodation and with international and 2 domestic flights included? And the figure is not from the ceiling, the real one, for the last May holidays it happened.

Wow, Pachok, how did you do that?? Which airlines fly to Tai? Share a secret :) Because last March we got 1700 dollars / person on the route BKK-Ptt (3 days) - Cambodia (Siem Reap) 1 day - Cambodia (Sihanoukville) 3 days - Koh Chang 4 days - BKK 2 days ( however, we made a mistake with the flight - it cost 950 dollars, Turmens)

In fact, you don’t know how to read very carefully - LOOK and BUY - there is a difference. Buying cheaper on the street no one argues with this, if you want you can ride yourself, about the fact that Ilves is the most expensive - let me disagree. this year pan ukraine was given more expensively. something figure 1200 per person - completely - does not fit - can you be more detailed? tickets are getting cheaper, but prices go up for the holidays - the whole of Siberia is in Tae.
аватар svtol
Yes, that's exactly what I meant - familiarization with excursions. And there is already the choice of the tourist himself. it’s somehow very interesting that you invested in such an amount - share your experience - if not hard. Did you book hotels on agoda? and tickets for asia air? and what are our flights like?
аватар Pachok
Fleta, you are right - it's all about the flight :) We flew with Aerosvit, a direct flight from Kyiv, at a price of 600 dollars. on the face, bought in February for May.
Hotels 4 * on average turned out to be $ 50 per night room, i.e. for 14 days for 1 person - 350 dollars,
Flight U-Tapao-Samui when buying a month and a half through the Bangkocare website - $ 70 per person, flew one way.
Transfer Koh Samui - Donsak - Krabi - 40 (or 50, I don't remember exactly) dollars per person.
A / b Krabi-Bangkok $ 24 for Air Age when buying a month through the site.
Consider. I even rounded up there.
This year in January they farted a/tickets Kyiv-Bangkok for $595 from April 30 to May 17 at UIA+Etihad. But the visa again became paid - at 35 USD. Yesterday I handed over the documents to "Boris".
Anelichka.... Have a good trip :) Those that you consider correct and optimal. (And, yes, you are right, through an operator on Koh Samui - there will be at least $ 70 per room, but we do not feed operators, so the price is this. Moreover, $ 50 is the third category in our hotel in terms of price, the most inexpensive room was 33, mini-superior - 45, superior - 50, very nice room 20 meters from the beach)
аватар Pachok
svtol, hotels on agoda, sawadi and one hotel directly on his own website (by the way, this was the only case in my practice when the hotel website gave a price lower than sawadi and agoda - Sitin Pratunam in Bangkok). I already answered about the tickets in the previous message.
I repeat, the main thing is an international flight and early planning.
аватар Pachok
Sorry, mistake, last year it was not 600, but 700 dollars for Aerosvit, so this hundred is added, and toya herself was surprised that it didn’t converge :))
аватар svtol
thanks for the answer - it doesn't work in advance - at best 3 weeks. what is BORIS?
аватар Pachok
The Consulate of Thailand in Kyiv is located in the clinic "Boris" :)) Mr. Thai consul - Radutsky Mikhail Borisovich, president of the clinic :))
We just need a visa for 18 days, an airport visa for 15 will not work, at the consulate they give a regular VOA for 2 months. I did this last year, it’s very convenient, you don’t need to think about it at the airport.
Yes, sorry for not being able to. On the contrary, I really like to do everything this way, a week ago I bought tickets to London for August, two months ago - to Antalya for October.
UIA now has London for $270, maybe someone will need this information.
аватар svtol
yes, we also traveled like that - no need to stand in lines, but now few people take up visas, and it’s hard to go from Kharkov to Kyiv. do you travel often)) work?
аватар Pachok
Not work, for fun. If I had the chance I would go more often :)
