Restaurant "Beerfest"
Thailand is for everyone. Some, in obedience to the fashion of this tourist season, for the first time in many years, abandoned shawarma-smelling Turkey and bought a last-minute tour of Pattaya's haunts. Others go to Thailand once every two months, as if they were visiting their country house.
Even the local tourist police do not know how many permanently living immigrants from the CIS countries are in Thailand. More or less, a record of Russian citizens is kept, but there are also ubiquitous Ukrainians and intellectual Latvians. Well, the Kazakhs with the Kyrgyz, and completely dissolve among the locals.
In recent years, Pattaya has become a kind of Russian-speaking enclave. Of course, we are still far from the Chinese, but we have already surpassed the British and other wealthy Europeans. According to some reports, about 20 thousand immigrants from the CIS countries live in Pattaya. But one of the social networks gave me as many as 50.000 Russian-speaking people who indicated Pattaya in their city of residence!
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, but it's still almost 10% of the total population of Thailand's main resort. If you compare Pattaya with a Soviet communal apartment, then you can find many similarities here. On the one hand, there are many Russian speakers here, but on the other hand, they communicate with each other in a very peculiar way.
Obviously, there are many more tourists and expats in Pattaya. But the geography of those who come here has remained the same - if people from Moscow, St. Petersburg or Kyiv come here stably in winter, then from Siberia, the Far East and Kazakhstan, many fly to Pattaya several times a year, or even every month, in fact, like a summer cottage. Therefore, many people buy housing in Pattaya for recreation and use it only when they come here on vacation.
There is also a brasserie in Thailand. The restaurant called "Beerfest" is located on the second street opposite McDonald's, short of the Alcazar show. "Beerfest" turned out to be a real brewery.
The menu turned out to be saturated, here are European steaks, German sausages, Bavarian shank and pork cooked in live beer, Thai and Russian cuisine dishes are also presented.
The service is worth noting separately, all the staff are neat, hospitable, they try to speak Russian (there are no language problems when ordering), they serve quickly.
