Нирвана Nirvana

I want to share my impressions. First time in Thailand. Nirvana. Went alone. At first it was scary. But the reality was amazing. First about the hotel. The hotel is good. 4 stars and no more. The rooms are clean. I left a 20 baht tip and there were no problems when checking out. Don't be greedy. And then the maid will fit you a mini-bar. The people then fight back but unpleasantly. By the way, be careful with tattoos. When I left, a young couple was charged 2.000 baht for a damaged bed with a tattoo. As for the friendliness and smilingness of the locals, I didn’t notice. People are like people with their own worries. The breakfasts are good. Very good masseuses. Especially there is an older woman there. Unfortunately, I don't know her name. Master of his craft. Meeting party Ilvis-tour. They work for 4. I got the impression that the guide Natasha herself had just arrived. Weak. If representatives of the Tez-tour sit almost constantly in the lobby. Then Natasha had to be looked for. The cost of excursions is approximately that of hotel guides and that of street guides is the same. To calm your conscience, you can take price lists from street agencies, from your hotel guide, from the Tez-tour (by the way, the Tez has the same excursions more expensive). It makes no sense to go on excursions on your own. I went to the Tiffany Show on my own. Very sorry. It turned out more expensive. I had to make my own way there and back. and a ticket at the box office for VIP seats costs 700-800 baht. And through a guide with a transfer and the same places 600 baht. Similarly, other excursions. Checked. Agencies have a discount. So don't bother. There won't be much savings. I liked to have dinner at the Aroy cafe. You can't call it a restaurant. By the way, there is almost no pepper. But the food is very delicious. Much better than others. There is no animation at the hotel, but no one promised it. You are not in Turkey. I had 2 excursions a day. Wonderful country. There is something to see. I regret that I did not get on the River Kwai. Leave it for next time. I just didn't have time. I really enjoyed the quad bike tour. Got it from Tina. She didn't learn anything. But as it turned out for the better. I had a private five hour tour. Guide - Thai. Therefore, we rolled over all the glamorous and haunting places of Pattaya. Fairy tale. The islands of Koh Lan and Koh Samet. Depends on which beach is determined. We were more fortunate in Koh Lan. Very few people. Clear sea and white sand. If we compare Alcazar and Tiffany, then I personally liked Alcazar more. Both shows are pretty much the same. The Nong Nooch garden is a work of art. Mini zoo. Photos with a cool chimpanzee guy (so cool), a chipped tiger and a funny elephant. Show for adults (so-so - for women; men did not accept 2 blue ones). More laughed at the Chinese. Their immediacy. They lay in a swoon. By the way, the hotel plays a Thai mini orchestra. In the evening they arranged a concert with them. Well done boys. If you go further along the beach you can reach the temple of truth. Welcome. Summing up - Pattaya is a sightseeing holiday. Who wants a beach holiday, then he should go to the islands: Phuket, Koh Chang, etc. Emotions are just overwhelming. I liked it very much. I will definitely come again to this hotel. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Family hotel. I had 2 more days in Bangkok. Shock. Glory and poverty go hand in hand. Great getaway for active people.
