list the excursions in Pattaya from the most interesting to the easiest
I am going to Thailand in order to get acquainted with the country. I understand that there is not enough time for everything even for 14 nights. Therefore, I ask those who know to list the excursions in order of their importance. We'll go through the list as best we can. We are thinking of living in Bangkok, Pattaya and the islands. Thanks.

In Pattaya, I advise you not to follow the sets of excursions offered by operators. The most suitable set:
one). nong nuch (but be sure to go down and go around the garden of Versailles around the entire perimeter)
2). Crocodile farm (meat tastes rubbish and expensive - take max. one serving for two)
3). sightseeing tour of Pattaya (temples, etc.)
4). The River Kwai ($150) is replaced by elephants. The village is near the city and the price is $62. Saving 2 days and money. The disadvantage of the tour is English, but it does not bother.
5) all sex shows (shock.asia!!!)
6) Tiffany show or Alkazar (transvestites)
7) get to the night market (Pattaya, 3rd street) - ask the guides how to get there.
Everything else is mediocre. But why not.
In Bangkok, the aquarium in Siam Paragon.

thank. If someone else will answer, write, plz, prices, in order to immediately understand how much we will spend on it.
аватар Russ2209
Tour prices are quite reasonable. Kwai and elephant.village are the most expensive. On average, an excursion is 600-800 baht ($1 = 33 baht). Tiffany show - 800 baht is the best place. But again, I wrote about the best, but they will and will offer.
I think that $200-250 will be enough for you (unless, of course, you have been taken to Cambodia or Vietnam).
At the aquarium in Bangkok, try to figure out the prices - the general ticket was 800 baht, but it includes free ice cream and something else, and there are cheaper tickets.
аватар Amir1
Qui 150 per person?
аватар Amir1
one more thing. We will not have guides. We are driving ourselves. who can you ask?
аватар Russ2209
Yes,
the price includes a 2-day trip - travel by bus for about 6 hours plus a night in a hotel.
аватар Amir1
Is it worth staying in Bangkok for 2 days?
аватар Amir1
By the way, is it cheaper to book hotels on websites than there on the spot?
аватар Russ2209
As for the reservation and what is cheaper (I don’t even know on arrival or on the Internet). If interested, I am enclosing a site in Russian: it was recommended on the farang forums in Pattaya
http://www.fargotravel.com/en/Thailand/Pattaya/4/Garden_Sea_View_Resort.html
The price depends more on the season - as a sample of prices, I threw off the hotel where I stay myself. I read somewhere that operators have redeemed blocks of seats and their price may be lower - but you still won’t see it.
And Bangkok: I was once more do not want to. Huge hot metropolis!!!
In addition to the aquarium, there is a standard set for a tourist: a gold buddha, a reclining buddha, a skyscraper, a floating market.
You can go around everything with a taxi driver (if you like extreme sports, take a moto tuk-tuk)
аватар Pachok
Websites are usually cheaper. But you can book for a day or two, and then look around on the spot, go to bargain at the reception for further accommodation.
In Bangkok two days - just right.
You can also arrange excursions for yourself, take a taxi for the day and travel wherever you want. Say, in the morning in Nong Nooch, and in the afternoon - in the Tiger Zoo, with the expectation of several people, it may turn out to be cheaper than taking excursions, a taxi is inexpensive. And you are completely free to choose the time and route.

Regarding the crocodile barbecue - it tastes like poultry meat, only very fatty, and according to the consequences ... my husband was very poisoned, for three days then he only ate rice and water, although he never complained about his stomach.
аватар Russ2209
Yes, it is quite possible to get hurt.
I recommend for medical purposes the local alcohol "100 peppers", it tastes decent and not expensive - it is sold in any shop "7-11".
During the second trip, I disinfected all the local fried-steamed "fauna, flora and insects" with it. and I have never had an upset stomach (by the way, take some activated charcoal and something like levomecithin).
аватар Amir1
God forbid levomecithin. After Taba, I so etched the intestinal microflora with them that for 8 months I could not eat anything at all. It's better not to eat any crap. Is there any real food there?
аватар Pachok
What is normal food? European? Yes, but my personal opinion is that eating non-Thai food in Thailand is a crime :))))
аватар Russ2209
I think Thai food is great. There are no restrictions. Up to insects (but this is already an amateur).
First of all, it is fish and seafood (Thailand is the world leader in seafood production).
How do you feel about spicy food?
If you love, you are not afraid to eat anything. If not - always ask for "know spicy" get adapted food.
As for the obligatory eating of only Thai cuisine ... hmm ... all the same, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese cafes are all around - well, why not go in !!! After all, the main thing is fresh products, local spices and chefs.
BUT ONLY DO NOT EAT NEAR THE "RUSSIAN" HOTELS !!!!!!
аватар Amir1
From what, then, are they poisoned, if everything is edible?
аватар Russ2209
God knows.
On the first trip, I had to eat activated charcoal every morning. Probably local vegetables/greens.
аватар Amir1
thanks everyone for the advice.
аватар Janny25
Here is what I would like to see! http://www.otpusk.com/articles/1023.html just outside of Pattaya
аватар Pachok
I am not a fan of spicy, exotic, unfamiliar. BUT in Thailand I eat local food with great pleasure. Never got poisoned. Husband got poisoned by this cursed crocodile at Tiger Zoo, well, they added this point to the "black list".
Russ2209, I meant European food. And Japanese....:)))) After their sushi, I can't eat our cooking. The tastiest point was discovered on Samuya in Tesco Lotus, a Fiji restaurant, so it seems.
аватар Pachok
Yes Janny25 is the most popular tour from Pattaya. Very good. We just took a taxi and drove there ourselves.
аватар Russ2209
Understood and fully agree. I also skipped European cuisine.
The Thai food was the best (and I support the opinion that the best is cooked in moka pots). The only pity is that I found the best of the places in the end.
Japanese - delicious, but I don't like sushi. Soup with tofu, eel and fish excellent!,
аватар Pachok
I want to add that after the first trip to Thailand, I got rid of heartburn forever (sorry for the details), and my husband took off his glasses (not minus 7, of course, but he was driving only with glasses). They ate exclusively local food, spicy, seafood, with all the spices, vegetables and herbs and mango-pineapple in very large quantities. Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe I just want to see a connection in this, but the fact remains.

I was most impressed by the Royal Complex in Bangkok and Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Siam, traveled from Pattaya. This is something that everyone must see for sure in my opinion!
аватар Amir1
where else? Advise, share what you liked. Which islands to visit? How? Any infa will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
аватар Pachok
Yes, Ayutthaya is worth a visit. Not necessarily from Pattaya, you can plan this trip from BKK.
Were on Koh Samui and Krabi, cool both there and there. There are a lot of offers for sea excursions around the islands, including for divers.
аватар Pachok
AirAsia low-cost airline has very good offers for domestic flights in Thailand. An hour from the BKK to Phuket or Krabi and there are offers at a cost of $ 20. You can build on this when drawing up a route, so as not to waste time on long ground crossings.
аватар Lanka-Lanochka
Go to Chang Island when you look around - from Bangkok by regular bus to Trat (5-6 hours, as I remember). From there - 30 minutes ferry to the main island of the Chang archipelago. Nice! Until it's squandered. Dosed exotic. To the south is the stilt village of Bang Bao. The sweetest place there - gourmandnichat and indulge in dreams (or make travel notes) - Buddha View restaurant. Kyiv Buddha Bar after dinner in Bang Bao seems fake and far-fetched. Getting around the island is easy and simple... A scooter is just right! Hi Tayu! Enjoy!
аватар valigura
As for Thai food, you need to get used to it gradually. I love spicy and seafood, and naturally, on the very first day I ate shrimp, crabs and the hottest sauces. Sorry for the details, I never suffer from a disorder at all, but then I drank all the imodium, and a week after the first day I ate pineapples, and when I really wanted to eat, I had to look for dumplings and pizza. When I returned home, it was a terrible pity that I was not very good at seafood. Therefore, start carefully!
