Первый раз за границей First time abroad

I have never been abroad yet, and then, just by a lucky chance, all the stars apparently converged favorably on our young family! The road, what a tiring road, but we endured in anticipation of what awaits us in the "country of smiles", the sun, crystal water in the sea) (not quite as it turned out later), palm trees, coconuts and exotic temples! We landed in Suvarnapum and went outside to get a taxi to Pattaya....... The street met us with the feeling of a much-loved "sauna" - URRRA and I immediately liked it, unlike my wife and child! Yes, it's hot, but not cold! Yes, stuffy, but not snow! We arrived safely, I liked the hotel terribly, moreover, I just fell in love with it at first sight))) (it was a long time meeting with my wife))), and we understood each other right away with the hotel! ) We settled quickly, we didn’t even have to wait - literally 10 minutes and my suitcase was grabbed by Thai people (how could I know that they wanted to help! ), I didn’t want to give it away, but from the looks of those around me I realized that I was resting in vain. . so necessary!! ! I heard about tips, but about the amount of money, as everyone said vaguely - someone gave 20 baht, someone 100, someone 500 (about 500, I definitely didn’t believe it). They brought the suitcases to the room and here it was time for "payback". I asked the Thai - "what help? " The fact that he answered - I was introduced into the final shock - "as you wish! " How do I wish? I agreed that I would go up to him and give a tip in 1 hour, I urgently needed a shower. After the designated time, I gave him 50 baht - here it is the first smile of Thailand !! ! He was so happy.... Then we became friends, security guards (like they were called) almost every day brought flowers to my daughter). And I sometimes drank with him. . . purely symbolic. . . for a small bottle of whiskey! We had a good rest, sunbathed, for the first five days we didn’t even go on excursions. But then the child demanded entertainment. We started looking (they came without a company, so there was no guide) and found it. . . there is a travel company on 5 soybeans of Jomtien, Alexey works there. Cool guy, really liked it, likes to tell something from his stories. Everything was bought from him. Then, upon returning home, my daughter said that when she grows up, she will have a husband just like him))) Children. . . In general, a good holiday, great excursions, wonderful Thailand and a lot of smiles. Many thanks to the hotel and staff for the service during the stay! I'll still come!
