Hotel ratings by criteria:
We rested in Grand Jomtien Palace 3 * from 29.08. 2008. to 10.09. 2008 threesome 2 young people, 1 girl, 27-30 years old. Air carrier "Transaero", flew on a double-decker Boeing-747 for about 8 hours, tour operator Seasons. Booked 2 rooms: DBL in the chalet (bungalow) and SNGL in the main building. Quite a decent clean hotel, corresponding to 4 * in Turkey or Egypt. The hotel stands across the road from the city beach in 2-5 minutes walk. Sun loungers are paid - 60 baht, but we bought a rug and took beach towels from the hotel (free of charge). Course: 1000 baht ~ 700 rubles ($10 - 340 baht). The hotel is located on the south coast of Pattaya in the town of Jomtien Beach. To the center of Pattaya by tuk-tuk ride 10-15 minutes (10 baht). The south coast is cleaner and calmer than in the center or north. Shops like 7eleven and cafe-restaurants at every turn. September is not considered the season or the rainy season, but it's not as scary as many write. A heavy downpour was 1 time at night, and for the entire period of rest it was finely sprinkled several times within 5-20 minutes. Weather +35 degrees. The cloudiness is large, but even with it they managed to get burned 
You always have to bargain with the Thais!! ! The price will be 2-3 times cheaper than originally declared!!! ! Entertainment on the beach: a banana - for four they gave 350 baht, rolled for 20 minutes with three coups in the water , a water scooter - for 15 minutes - 400 baht, parachute, windsurfing. Excursions: we didn’t buy from a tour operator, but at the Kokos agency near the hotel, they understand Russian well and Russian guides on excursions. We visited a lot of excursions, even flew on a small plane over Pattaya along the coast and over the islands. We took an excursion to the island of Samet. Very nice. The purest turquoise water and white fine sand crunches underfoot like starch. You can get to Koh Lan by yourself. First, by tuk-tuk to the pier in the center of Pattaya, and then by boat, sail for about 15 minutes. It is very beautiful in the Nong Nooch Orchid Park. We went on a 2-day excursion to the river Kwai-great!! ! We were in the park of million-year-old stones and the crocodile show, rode ATVs through the tropics, visited the Aquarium-Underwater World. Even with our busy program, everyone did not have time to watch, so there will be a reason to return.
If you leave the hotel and go to the left, after 100m there will be a bar "8 OCTOBER 1972", the owner's name is Tiger, they came with their MP-3 music disc, beer, whiskey and hung out with him, he was happy and very hospitable.

The main street of Pattaya, WALKING STREET, in general, did not impress - the street of debauchery !! ! Sex shows and sex services without problems!! ! Were also on the forbidden show for adults "69", also without any special emotions, everything is not natural.
Shopping: for souvenirs in Lukdod, and for clothes in outletmall. Attention: when exporting things at the border, 20 kg of luggage and 5 kg of hand luggage are allowed, for overweight, an additional charge of $ 15 per 1 kg.
