Хороший, уютный отель Good, cozy hotel

I’ll start from the beginning, going on vacation, I always carefully study the country, the hotel, in general, I collect information as much as possible, this was the case this time, for which many thanks to everyone who leaves full reviews. I hope my comments help people. So, on September 25.2007, a flight from Moscow to Bangkok took a ticket on a tour. Aniko company price $2300 for 14 days for two two days in Bangkok at the Bangkok Palas hotel the rest of the time Pattaya Aisawan Resort & Spa. Flight into the night, 250 gr. cognac and all right. In the morning we landed at the Bangkok airport for another hour and a half and we were put on the bus and taken to the hotel.
Going out into the street, Thailand immediately struck me with its climate, especially the smells that hovered in this humid air and were unusual, I don’t even know how to describe it.
Bangkok Palas is a tolerable hotel, there is a swimming pool, in our room the drain in the bathroom immediately broke. After recovering from the road in a couple of hours, we went to have dinner at one of the highest hotels in Asia Baiok Skay, I’ll say right away that they offer this dinner, as we didn’t buy it from the meeting party and went on our own, as a result it cost 2 times cheaper. The restaurant on the 82nd floor is an open observation deck on the 84th - the view is amazing, the dinner is excellent.

The next day, an excursion to the royal palace and the emerald temple of the Buddha, everything is great, I liked everything. In general, Bangkok is a very interesting city, a city of contrasts, poverty and luxury border on each other. Prices are democratic, in general, as for prices, everything is quite cheap. Course 1 $ -33 baht.
And two days in Bangkok were intense on the third day we went to Pattaya. And so what about Aisawan Resort & Spa. Everything is known in comparison, in my opinion, this is one of the best hotels in Pattaya and in terms of its location, being at some distance from the center of hectic life and other qualities. Cons - if you look at the hotel from the sea on the right, construction begins. We were first settled on the twelfth floor exactly at the construction site, but then they moved to the other side. The territory is not large, but well-groomed, the beach is sandy, the sea is dirty, packages float in the water, and so on. The staff is friendly and here, at the entrance, the door lock broke, the master came immediately and after an hour everything was fixed, and for the inconvenience caused, they brought us a bottle of wine to the room. Massage on the territory of the hotel on the beach is worthy, an hour costs 250 baht, on the street it is somewhat cheaper. You can get to the city center by local Tuk-Tuk taxi for 100-150 baht. Also every evening there is a free minibus from the hotel. We went on excursions ourselves and bought tickets in shops near the hotel at half the price. We went to a crocodile farm, a tiger farm, Nong Nooch Park, Sammet Island (clear sea, white sand beach), Alcazar show (transvestite show). Everything is great, only positive emotions. We used the taxi service at the hotel several times. In my opinion, you only need to take breakfast, because a huge number of cafes and restaurants are located near the hotel, especially since we did not spend a single evening at the hotel and returned deep after half a night. I recommend the Japanese restaurant Fudgi to everyone, which is located on the territory of the BIG-C shopping complex. To be honest, after a few days we missed our Russian food, and here we were pleasantly surprised by the restaurants founded by our compatriots, I want to highlight a few - this is the tavern "At Zakharovna", in addition to delicious borscht, they cook shark wonderfully (prepare to order), you will lick your fingers (hello hostess) and the restaurant "Bear" on Walking Street. Nightlife in Pattaya is in full swing there is something to watch, definitely. We also watched Thai boxing and went to the A Go-Go show (here is an amateur, but my wife and I treat this with the same understanding). As for shopping, here the wife came off in full, I had to buy another suitcase, flew in with one, flew out with two)))))). By the way, one important point when departing for one person is a limited number of kilograms of luggage and hand luggage (I advise you to clarify, because now I have already forgotten how much), we had an advantage, for 1 kg-520 baht, we had to overpay more than $ 200. Be careful!! ! As for souvenirs, buy in the Lukdod store, much cheaper than the same on the street.
Thais are very friendly and always want to help you, even if they don't know how to do it, it looks funny. They always smile at you at first looks strange, then you get used to it.
Conclusion: Thailand really liked. We were impressed, we are going to visit this country again, but now to the islands.

I wish you all good luck!! !
