The hotel is quite decent, quiet, especially if you do not live in a tall building with a spire, but in a neighboring building opposite. The rooms are good, after renovation. Enough entertainment at the hotel. All the negatives do not apply to the hotel. In Thailand for the first time and not in one of the reviews, I did not hear an objective assessment of Thailand. There are not only pluses here. Namely, the hot climate is very difficult to tolerate due to its high humidity, the Gulf of Thailand in Pattaya is stench and dirt, everything floats in the water - from cigarette butts to packages. Already after a few days of staying in the evening on the central streets, a huge number of trances, queers, Thai prostitutes, just men with painted nails, and so on, begin to seriously annoy. All the time you are on your own. You yourself are looking for something to do, and not finding it, you collect a bunch of excursions, then your head hurts where and what to have lunch, then the same thoughts about dinner. The deliciousness of Thai fruits is exaggerated many times over, especially the vaunted duriander. Thai cuisine itself is not so bad, but it is impossible to eat it all day long, you have to look for Russian cafes or fast food. Often everyone puts themselves in dignity - that this is a vacation for those who do not like stupidly lying on the beach, but love active recreation. They just forget to add that they don’t like the service either, and they also allegedly like unobtrusiveness, you might think that in their hometown they simply don’t give them a pass. I'm not a hypocrite, but I won't go to Thailand anymore. Of those who flew back with me on the plane and who were here for the first time, Thailand did not cause enthusiasm for anyone. Be honest in your reviews! Of course, it was good too, and I'm not spoiled for rest and should not be accused of hypocrisy, I don't go abroad that often. I just want to read in the reviews objective assessments of the country you are going to.
