The two of them rested. from Naali Tours.
We got off the plane - it was like entering a sauna. Or rather - in a Russian bath, because. wild humidity. It's fun to watch people getting off the plane. Some mechanically climb back into the cabin after the exit, catching the heat.
Met immediately, brought to the hotel quickly. On the way, a light educational program around the country. Settled quickly, but the seaview was not given. Asked - they said to pay extra $ 120, then the sea will be partially visible. It is a pity, but the budget of the trip did not allow such a surcharge. The windows of the room were towards the coast and only a little - on the sea. Under the balcony is a trash can, but no smell. On the balcony, by the way, they have ventilation units from the air conditioner. The room is medium in size - not suitable for dancing, but not a matchbox either. Conditioner working and brutal power - easy to catch a cold.

The bathroom is quite acceptable, without fungus, with a large mirror and normal taps. The only thing they didn’t immediately get used to was that they always had water in the toilet bowl up to half a bowl. And sometimes some worms swim in this water. F : -) either red or black. Wildly, but still the tropics)) There were no ants in the room.
The room was cleaned every day, but especially clean. Wet cleaning of the floor is not done at all. Pointed to it - nothing has changed. Towels - every day, bed every 3 days.
We went on excursions a lot - to a crocodile farm (they ate crocodile meat - they had a terrible stomach ache - DO NOT EAT THIS rubbish ! ! it tastes like nothing, but you can’t explain it to your stomach. ), a snake farm, a garden of petrified trees, an elephant farm, a night on the Kwai River (I advise , this is super), the canals of Bangkok, the island of Koh Samet.
All excursions, except for crocodiles (it was included in the ticket), were bought on Walking Street in the tour stall. Thais don’t speak Russian yet (but since our people travel a lot, it’s getting better and better), then they explained in broken English what we want and bought trips 2.5 times cheaper than in the price list of Natalie Tours.
Speaking of Natalie - Tours. Unpretentious! Everything is clear, fast, unobtrusive, but without neglect. Excursions were not imposed, although they were offered. The agent is a girl who speaks Russian quite well, something like a trance, I beg your pardon.
About food. There was almost nothing. Only eggs and buns. The rest is tasteful, they say because they cook with coconut milk... Inedible! We found McDonald's on Walking Street, were delighted - but to hell with it! Thais also work there and even have burgers with a typical Thai flavor ((But you will lose weight)
In restaurants on Walking Street (there are plenty of them) you can eat very robustly and inexpensively. It's really delicious there.

Location. From the center of nightlife - Walking Street, the hotel is 10-12 minutes. ride. But at night it is quiet and you will sleep like a human being. You need to go by local minibus - this is a jeep pickup truck with a tented cargo compartment. It will be necessary to stop - there is a call button. Or say "Walking Street" and enjoy driving on the wrong side of the street (didn't I say right hand drive in Thailand? )
On this same street, everyone walks, goes to show bars, quarrels "carrots" - local eager girls, etc. By the way, there are very few beautiful taikas, but they exist. Without even understanding your language, they will be ready to go with you wherever they take you for 1500 baht. Prostitution in Thailand is punishable by law, but it doesn't seem to work (as it does in Rush). Lots of foreigners with "wives on holiday". This is when a Thai girl stays for a vacation with one foreigner and goes everywhere with him by the hand, lives with him like a wife. Many elderly Germans with girls 20-25 years old.
Thais are generally quite calm about promiscuous sex. But they do not give guarantees against AIDS)) So think about it.
There are also trances, but there are few beautiful ones on the streets. But on the show "Tiffany Show" or "Alkazar Show" (we were at the last one) - YES! many girls look with jealousy at these achievements of Thai surgery)) Only when they say thank you for the tip, they are taken aback - they don’t change their voice)) The Thais themselves look askance at this matter, because. according to their faith, only men go to heaven, and a woman only if she was so righteous and good that after death God turned her into a man and then she also goes to heaven. And here is a man - himself! VOLUNTARILY! degrades himself into a woman! they think it's so wild that it's even funny.
Were at a sex show. Well, what can I say? 10 cute topless taeches are dancing languidly on the stage. Then two more come out and make tricks a causal place - shoot tennis balls, smoke, swallow razor blades, etc. Bored, with the expression of the eyes of a worn-out sheep. At the end - sex with a strapon. Don't waste time and money on this. It's all boring and sad.
A lot of exotic food is sold on the streets - cockroaches, larvae, etc. The stench is such that it makes you sick! Don't even think about trying anything!

Sea. DO NOT swim near the hotel! to the shore blows all the rubbish - packages, plastic bottles, algae. We did not swim near the hotel even once! Although, there is an inexpensive rental of jet skis - 30 minutes for the same money that we have 5 minutes! My wife skated successfully, but at first I had one higher out of order - they replaced it. Then - the second! But, without claims and demands. Didn't finish 5 min. - forgave.
We went to Ko Samet (island). We were picked up from the hotel in a minibus, drove 3 hours to the pier, then on a boat to the island. The trip is not cheap, but when you get there, you understand why you need to go to Tai. White, fine as powder sand. Pure, unreal turquoise water! Just a miracle! True, there are no magical palm trees under which the Bounty advertisement (the favorite tale of the Thais) was filmed here! Stunted 4 palm trees on the central beach and that's it! You need to hide from the sun. 10 minutes in the sun = guaranteed terrible burn blisters! we were hiding and then wildly burned, being smeared with cream with a factor of 50. A local Thai ordered a detour of the island on a diving boat. At the bottom there is little to see. Full of hedgehogs and all. The island itself is beautiful, but not enough vegetation. In the end, we stopped at the local "oceanarium" - they stand right next to the shore of the net, they contain various sea fish. There are healthy ones and smaller ones. All of this is connected by walkways without any handrails, although there are cages with sharks. )
Despite the heat, I did not want to leave the paradise place. and it is much easier to breathe on the islands than in stuffy, smelly Pattaya.
In short, if you go to Tai again, then only to the islands! No Pattaya! Yes, holidays on the islands are 1.8-2 times more expensive, but it's worth it.
