Blooming Thailand
I would like to write a little about the rest in the fabulously exotic country of Thailand. For a long time I didn’t even dream of a vacation so far from home, I was embarrassed by 2 things - a very long flight and high cost (in principle, all because of the same long flight), but then there comes a moment in life when something very distant becomes reality due to unknown circumstances.
And here I am, my husband and our friends (a young couple) are sitting in a Turkmen airlines plane and flying to distant Tai. I can only say good things about the airline, experienced pilots, they landed the plane in a continuous fog to the very ground and didn’t even shake, absolutely new planes on the Kyiv-Ashgabat-Kyiv route, flew to Bangkok in a little worn. But they fed excellently, 2 times in one direction, because they flew at night and back 3 times (it was even too much), friendly crew, willingly answered all questions.
Thailand itself simply cannot be disliked. This is a fairy tale, this is a paradise given to people by the gods. It is summer all year round, the sea never cools down and even in the coldest period of the year in February the water is 27 degrees. And everything is different from ours - lush, rich vegetation, orchids, magnolias are fragrant all around, the food is mostly seafood, and everything is very spicy, we don’t cook like that, people are good-natured and friendly.
We were 11 nights in Pattaya and 2 nights in Bangkok, a total of 2 weeks, but in order to get to know Thailand this is not enough. Everything flew by in an instant. We tried to see and see as much as possible and slept little, but we visited the following places:
1) Excursion to the crocodile farm, crocodile show, photo in the elephant's trunk, feeding crocodiles, testing the meat of these reptiles, a fabulous garden of millions of stones.
2) Excursion to the Nong Nooch garden, feeding goldfish, folk show, elephant show, fabulous photo report about this place, latex products factory, jewelry factory with an insanely interesting excursion into the bowels of the earth...
3) "Alcazar-show" - a colorful, aesthetic spectacle with chic costumes and scenery, after the photo show with the participants. None of the friends believe that these beauties are men in the past.
4) Volkin Street, foot massage, go-go bars, photo hugging a lemur, whirlpool of light, music and aroma of the East. . .
5) Excursion to the River Kwai, fleet market and tasting of coconut palm juice, elephant riding, feeding elephant milk, snake show, treating wild monkeys with nuts, lunch at the "road of death", Buddha temple in a natural cave, swimming in radon springs, a hotel on the water, dinners and breakfasts right by the water, Thai massage, real jungle, rafting on a fast-flowing river, real extreme sports, and swimming in a waterfall, a folk pharmacy with scorpion tincture.
6) Ascent to Pattaya Hill, review of Pattaya, Temple of the Great Buddha and release of birds for good luck.
7) A trip to Mini Siam, it is impossible to describe, you just have to look.
8) Trip to Ko-Lan. An island with the purest water and snow-white sand, a coconut in each hand and eyes full of delight, that's what it was, and then a week of red skin like cancer... well, it's your own fault.
9) Temple of Truth and Tom Yam Khu (Thai soup, who doesn't know), Thai massage, and super cheap shopping, fish massage, and rambutan-mangosteen-passion fruit-carom abundance and many, many other things and chicken hearts and grilled seafood (yummy) it's all Tai.
10) And then there was the Adriatic Palace Hotel in Bangkok and the Royal Palace itself, and riding along the canals of Bangkok, feeding giant catfish, viewing the city from the 84th floor on Baiyoke Sky, riding the Bangkok metro and crazy shopping at MBK .
I have the strength to just list everything, describe how everything went and what delight it caused in my soul, it’s just not enough for my time to write, and yours to read.
Be sure, be sure to visit Thailand, this country took my heart (I used to think that Paris did it), I want to go there again, I will fly there again someday. Traveling to Thailand is an unforgettable experience, it is a valuable experience, it is a paradise in the soul for a long, long time after the trip. . .
I advise and recommend to everyone. I didn’t specifically write the name of the hotel and its content, level, it doesn’t matter. For the sake of curiosity, we walked around the territories of many hotels in Thailand, went into the halls, took pictures, in one hotel we even constantly ate fruit (next to the fruit market) and it became like our own, we were not limited to our hotels and felt at home everywhere, from no one complained about the staff. So the room in his hotel served only for storing things and sleeping.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read my review. Maybe this not quite harmonious, overflowing with emotions scribbling will inspire someone who was not going to discover this country for himself, then I will be very glad, because a person in his life will discover another facet...
