. . . I flew from Khabarovsk! I got from winter to summer for the first time, of course it's simply indescribable !!! ! our plane landed at Bangkok airport without delay))) the tour operator met me promptly))) put us on the bus and we set off to Pattaya, to Pattaya 1.5 hours, while our guide was telling useful information, we arrived, checking into hotels was very fast)) which was very pleasing))) I read very bad reviews about Jamtien Orchid, I thought everything was very good. it will be bad! NOOOOO))) at the reception we were met by a cute Thai woman! rolled out my passport, took a deposit for a room of 50 bucks, and the Thai picked up my purse and led me to the room! when he opened the door, I smiled by itself, I forgot to write, I went alone, the room is clean, two large beds, a wardrobe, a mirror, in short, everything you need! the bath is also normal, though the shower is attached to the wall)) it didn’t create any strain for me! the furniture is of course old but everything looks cozy! no bugs, spiders, bugs abound! snooping, the room was cleaned every morning! the hotel has a swimming pool is quite good! breakfast, although monotonous, but delicious (rice, vegetables, sausage, sausages, soup, scrambled eggs, tea, coffee, toast, watermelon or pineapple). at the reception there is a safe for free, thank God nothing was lost! the location of the hotel is very good, a minute away from the road, opposite the family market hotel, if you leave the hotel on the right side there will be a street, there are a lot of tour companies where you can buy excursions, restaurants, money exchange, there is even a cafe where changed rubles for baht, though the rate is 1 thousand rubles = 800 baht. on the same street if you go below there is a beach! the beach is free, clean! street vendors sell on the same street, in the evening you can buy food there, a large leg costs 40 baht, a huge fried fish 90 baht , you can also buy fruits there, insanely delicious fruit necks 30 baht, be sure to try banana pancakes taste crazy 30 baht, bargain for 20 baht))) do not be afraid to buy food on the street, the most important thing is to wash your hands, and everything will be ok)) I'll go to hotels right away met a married couple, we spent further holidays together! in the morning we had an appointment with a hotel guide, of course, he told us not to buy excursions on the street, it's dangerous!
now about excursions! I will write what I saw myself!
1. A sightseeing tour and a crocodile farm for me, it was a free excursion. It’s worth it to take us to the observation deck, from there it’s such a view, just a freak))) then Buddha Hill is also quite interesting, then there was a snake farm, a show with cobras very good. I especially liked the comment of the Thai)) there was an optek of prices, of course, you'll see for yourself))) I took soap from the pimples costs 200 baht, now I use it like this))

2. a crocodile farm and a garden of millennial stones. Also free from the tour operator. a riot of colors, an indescribable beauty! then we were taken to pharmacies ((we didn’t go to the jewelry factory! We got off the bus and went on ourselves, and always and everywhere carry a map of the city, it was determined from the map that it’s not far away
3. miniature park mini siam (turn from the north street to the left to go for 10-15 minutes you can here-tuk costs 10 baht you will see a large building written opposite the mcdonalts a minute in front and you have come)) the entrance costs 300 baht the best time is 17.30-19.00 when the backlight is on ! the park is very beautiful, the kids will love it! personally, I was pleased!
4. ATV ride 2300 baht. freaky excursion))) at first we were taught to ride for 5 minutes and we went) visited the observation deck, a Buddhist temple, a fruit plantation!
5. in the evening we went to the x-show show for adults)) 500 baht
while driving, the guide talked about accepting everyone with humor)) so we went with a smile ! ! it makes no sense to tell how the Thais beat the drums with their pussycats, it all happened! )) pensioners have nothing to do there!
6. The next morning, we got up at 3 am)) in general, we didn’t go to bed)) there was a trip to the Kwai River 2850 baht, designed for 2 days 1 night.
I didn’t like it at all, the trip is for those who want to shake on the bus for two days ((yes, we stopped at a beautiful waterfall and let them take pictures for 15 minutes (((they brought a full GGG to the teak factory, one positive ride on elephants at my own expense 300batt 30min, although it was possible to go to the village of elephants much closer. the color of a dirty puddle! radon springs stop 30 min (for this money you can go to the islands and get such a buzz! in short, I wasted my money and there was so little time!
7. I was in the nong nooch park 500 baht, it looks like a garden of millennial stones! there is definitely something beautiful to see if you have time!

8. on my last day of rest, I finally had a rest))) I bought an excursion to the island of Samet 1000 baht, an hour by car 30 min by ferry (while waiting for the ferry, I drove to the merchants, you will see them, I bought photo frames for 20 baht in the city, they are 40-45 , 10 baht seashells) and you are in paradise)) sand is like flour, not a single pebble is very beautiful! at 12 o'clock we were fed quite tasty, then I decided to massage the legs for 300 baht an hour, I did a bargain for 150 baht! the sea cannot be compared with that that near the hotel, transparent and warm like fresh milk! I advise everyone)) will like it very much
and so at prices a little
- Chanthaburi 1 day 2000 baht
-khao-kheo open zoo 900 baht
- Bangkok 1 day 1800 baht
- coconut lagoon 2 days 1 night 5100 baht
-ko lan island 600 baht (my new friends went to the pier by themselves, they arrived at the pier by 9 in the morning there the Thais offer a boat for 150 baht back and forth, everyone comes to the island and there you can stay next to the boat or take a 30 baht moto bike and go to another beach , Thais know everything, tell them the beach, or the scourge and they will take everyone back. Like at 4 or 5 they left at times cheaper)
- sea adventures 1600 baht my friends went and were satisfied caught fish fed wild monkeys swam in the open sea
-disney land 1300batt
- Cambodia 7500 baht
on some excursions you will be photographed by Thais and at the end of the excursion you will be offered plates with your photo, whether you want to buy or not, I have as many as 3)) cost 200 baht
PRO STORES
I read before the trip that the prices for things are pennies, even I didn’t see this, maybe I didn’t go there! Of course there was beauty at the festival, you need to look, on the basement floor of the cafe at the reception you put money on the card and go 200 batt is enough for two)) be sure to try donuts are insanely delicious from 19batt. rolls 10batt piece
in the end, all the souvenirs turned out to be cheaper than just a look, order a free taxi from your guide to the store, he is somewhere on the north street, I bought myself a mirror all in shells 190batt the mirror is not small, 50batt charms for 5 pieces!
outlet mall store, look on the map where it is, for those who have a lot of extra money, this is a store of branded items with a discount of 30 to 70%, I didn’t see anything good there. there are prices and one hundred and two hundred baht, I bought myself a bag of earrings for 19 baht))

above the lotus store (lotus) everything is cheaper there than in the market opposite the hotel, by the way, these stores are not far from the hotel itself, the main thing is to navigate the map))) who smokes, stock up on cigarettes there they are shitty so they told me smokers! I didn’t see expensive alcohol either. and also in the store opposite the hotel, when the money runs out or too lazy to go somewhere, you can buy noodles 13batt there, steam it up and a sandwich 20batt and I liked it very much. Try tom yum soup insanely delicious 70batt
I forgot the most important thing, upon arrival I bought myself a local SIM card 1/2 call called 100 batt is enough for 20 minutes, first dial 0097 then a number without 8 for example-00979242221223 is profitable!
here and there it costs 10 baht, the most important thing is not to ask him where he is going, but to silently sit down and go if he turned around, press the bell, get out, pay, and change to another.
it’s useless to write about Volkin Street, you have to see it)) the street comes to life by 9-10 pm
take pills for diarrhea, herpes with you, the temperature will not be superfluous, on the penultimate day my friends had diarrhea, the pills helped out, still a warm blouse. sightseeing buses all with conders! the most important weapon in thai is a smile you don’t know where to go go to a Thai smile and show a map) they will definitely help! God saves the safe! Have a good rest)))
ps do not pay attention to grammar))) in the end it took me 700 dollars (these are excursions and everything else I did not deny myself anything)
