Phy View Talay Resort Phy View Talay Resort

Good day to all. Recently returned from Thailand, from Pattaya. Immediately - who cares about a beach holiday - you are not in Pattaya. A narrow patch of sand literally three loungers wide is not a beach... To the people like a herring in a barrel. The sea is not the cleanest. An option is to go to the islands, but there are some drawbacks, although of course it’s clean and more arranged or something). LEARN ENGLISH.
Hotel. I really liked the hotel. New, traces of finishing work have not yet been erased everywhere. The rooms have everything. Electric kettle, refrigerator (everything is brand new) Elevator. Three channels in Russian. In general, the hotel could easily become a 4-5 star, adding food to All.
The staff is normal, without rudeness and fawning. One “but” just blurred the impression - on departure, the cleaning lady (looking very nice) somehow DISCOVERED the disappearance of as many as two glasses under water... , of course, no one stole or beat them... Looks like she receives a tip in such a simple way. We didn't offend her though. In general, she is rubbish. Be on the lookout and rent the room yourself, we just gave the keys and "hit" 60 baht)))

Guides. Separate song. Especially the hotel "guide" Anastasia Mishkina. There was a small scandal with the taxi driver - she was a witness and instead of supporting us - she said that it was none of her business and there were her own rules. She was terribly offended at everyone who did not buy any excursions from her and from Pegasus by itself (the prices are so high that they are simply AH). We tried not to talk to her. There was a sightseeing tour, the Pegasus guide - Maria - a clear, funny girl. Respect to her (although the review is sooo exhausting). And a completely cool guide who saw us off in Bangkok. Thank you, unfortunately I can't remember the name
The location of the hotel is ok. The only thing - always take small hotel business cards with you. Tuk-tuk taxi drivers (creepy cattle and bandits) sometimes don’t even know where this hotel is (because it’s sooo new) Details about a taxi in Pattaya - ask, I’ll answer, but here I don’t want more negativity
Massage. My wife found a very good salon very close to the hotel, called Savannah... Opposite Savannah there are two decent cafes. The prices are normal.
New Year in Pattaya - fireworks, crowded Volkin Street and holiday atmosphere)
Of the shopping centers worthy of attention are the Festival and the Royal Garden. There are a few more (Lotus, Tesco, Mike, etc. ) but they are more like our department stores... Although this is understandable - mostly local goods are bought there. Silicone factory, jeweler - do not waste time. Silicone pillows, mattresses are on average 2 times cheaper in shopping centers. We bought two pillows ourselves - they compared them with tax ones from the "factory" - the twin brothers were up to the stamps (I had a lot of trouble with the packaging, by the way) The jeweler is "the largest in Asia) and apparently the most expensive... The quality of the handicrafts is iiiiiiizkoee. Not even worth an inspection.
In general, Pattaya did not impress. There is something to see. There is something to buy. There is no impression that this is all a vacation, so, a change of scenery.
