A ticket from February 24 to March 7 from Natalie tour - 79.000 for two. Do not forget to photocopy your passport and insurance - always carry them with you. Trans-aero company. Take a cap and glasses on the plane. When leaving the plane, free sim cards were distributed: set - 00.007 7 91.904....... More free ones should be at the VOA counters on the stand - but we didn’t find them (if you find them, take a handful). Then you can buy a SIM card in the market 7/11, at the checkout - Dtac Happy - set - 00.7 91.904. . . - 50 baht per card and 100, for example, put on it - 4.28 per minute is enough for a long time, then replenish at the checkout. They didn’t dial any activation code, I inserted it and that’s it, the main thing is don’t lose your number, write it down or don’t throw away the card - you will need it when you buy excursions from street tour operators (and definitely only from them !!! ). Check balance *101*9# call. Immigration cards filled out on the plane, flight attendants helped. One part will be torn off (at passport control), the second will be pinned to the passport, if not, then just save it until departure! Suvarnabumi airport - the "golden land" is huge, but you won't get lost, go faster to passport control, follow the Immigration or Baggage claim signs, reach the information board, find your flight number - opposite the baggage claim belt number - to the left and look for your , then go for a long time, but along the moving paths - so you won’t get tired - blue carpet - you are in place, get up in any queue where there are fewer people - you need a passport and a ticket. You will be photographed. Meeting with guides after passport control. This is the 2nd floor, and we leave from the 1st. We met, saw off, drove - everything was organized. The guide on the bus to the hotel - Daria: she told very interestingly, everything that they knew was strengthened, what they didn’t know - they found out - they have 2555 (another time reckoning is Buddhist), 2 hours flew by quickly - Daria 5 plus! Stop at the market - fruits, beer, water, fruits are 2 times more expensive than at the hotel, bargain in half, do not be shy and it's better to change at least $ 50 at the airport to pay baht here (favorable exchange rate for $ 50 and $ 100). Tasty beer Sitkha, Leo, Singa. Then we were transferred to a minibus - they are also comfortable with reclining backs and air-conditioned. They will meet you at the hotel, take your luggage to your room, treat you with a cocktail at the reception - free of charge, you register at the reception and get a room - take the 2nd, 3rd, 4th floor, we had murabai on 3rd - you need not leave anything from food - everything is in the refrigerator, they will take your passport for xerification, then you will take it away, how will you settle down and go for reconnaissance for a walk. They also have a free safe - leave your passport, money, insurance. For the sake of decency, you need to leave 20 baht in the room every day for the staff, but interestingly, the floor is not washed (mango dripped - sticky, as it was, and remained until they said). In the room for free half a liter of water, shampoo, soap, t / b, paid bar. Change towels and bed every day. One Russian channel, air conditioning. To the left of the entrance to the hotel, how to go towards the breakfast room - different booklets with different information, with a map of Pattaya and travel agency folders. Towels cannot be taken out of the room, and on excursions take towels from the pool under the signature, they are also taken to the beach. We leave the hotel to the left - we go for a walk - to the right are shops, travel agencies, massage, exchange offices, further to the right - the same thing - see which exchange office has a favorable rate, 7/11 markets and a family market, we bought tours in Run-Ren - this is opposite the hotel, then along a long street - at Edik's, I don't remember the agency's name, it's either a Georgian, or an Azeri, and an agency from Discovery. We went for a massage at the end of the street on the left side, i. e. across the Shroud road (I have Nan a masseuse !!!! ) Bargain in stores - at least in half. We went to a cafe almost opposite the Sean Pen Hotel - Tom Yum soup with coconut milk, Mai Tai alcoholic cocktail, seafood salad - ask for advice, crocodile chop (but I forgot that there is a shark steak - try it), we took rice 1 for two, it’s big and they didn’t say know spicy - they said they don’t make it sharp for Russians, but make sure! For two 1000 baht. And so along the street there is a delicious fish - catfish 30 baht, perches - 60-70 baht, there are a lot of things and everything is delicious, we didn’t like pancakes from bananas - very greasy, even if with lotions like condensed milk, then generally horror - at 33 degrees of heat. On the street next to the exchanger there is a shop where the seller is Hindu and his wife, he speaks Russian - they have lower prices for aloe gel from burns - it helps, coconut oil - they use it instead of sunblock, green balm - from sciatica and other different balms - for legs, joints, muscles. Magnets are cheaper at the stairs to the beach. Souvenirs and T-shirts are cheaper on excursions to the River Kwai, they are brought to the market on the way to the cave with the manah and the buddha, you will pass a little through the Death Railway. In the souvenir Bow Dode - more expensive. The money frog on our street is average for 50, and there is a small 70. Go to the night market Fri. , sub. , wax. - people gather outside the Mountain Beach hotel. they agree on 5 pairs and go (tuk-tuk for 10 people and in our area work like a taxi) and to Walkin Street as well. On the first day we went to the Alcazar show - see that there are seats in the middle, row 5-7. It's on the weekend. The next day - Obzornaya - a Chinese guide Vasily - cool, smart, without stopping at the sitting Buddha, then go yourself - from the hotel to the right, then to the left and to the roundabout, then the observation to the left, and the Buddha to the right up, to where the bells are. The hotel guide Tatyana is just awful - only a scam to buy tours from her, as I found out that we won’t take it - that’s it: the tone changes, don’t come up with questions, I don’t accept claims and complaints - blame yourself, but everything was cool with us and without her!! ! Say that you have a beach holiday without excursions, so that the brain can not stand it! Further Discovery - 1400, this includes the Khao Kheo Zoo, a Chinese temple, an oyster farm, here are cool shells for cheap, take it, do not be afraid to take it out, even large ones, in hand luggage and the Temple of Hell and Paradise, with lunch. 2 days River Kwai - Departure at 4.30 and onward: Ride in canal boats, Royal Teak Factory, Death Bridge and Lunch on the River with a view of the Bridge Buffet, Elephant Ride - Elephant Village, Elephant Show, Tham Crasea Cave - here is a buddha, a manah, sticks of fate, a visit to the monkeys - we feed and eat at a hotel on the water, dinner, who wants a massage - 300 baht, and in Savannah - 200 it's an hour, it was still light when they arrived - they were bought. Getting up early, breakfast and immediately in swimsuits - all day water - radon baths 43-44 degrees and a cool source, and the third medium is useless. Lunch and river rafting, Erawan waterfall - go straight to level 7, it's cool there, and then go down and have fun - ride the slides - mountain breasts level 4, fish - massage, etc. And home 5 hours - we were turned on comedies - time has flown by. I liked it very much!! ! Guide Maxim super! ! I'll add a sequel later.
