Страна улыбок, слонов и орхидей. Land of smiles, elephants and orchids.

I recently returned with my husband from the fabulous country of Thailand. The hotel, excursions - everything met our expectations. But I'll start about everything in order. Hotel "Ravindra Beach Resort&SPA" impressed us in full. A huge territory, a wonderful Superior room (42 sq. m. ), a magnificent breakfast buffet, where, in addition to the standard set, there is ham and cheese. sausage, jams, vegetables, fruits, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, muesli, yoghurts, coffee, tea, juices, there were at least 5-6 types of hot dishes, namely Shrimps, pork, veal, beef, chicken, fish with various sauces, side dishes (rice, potatoes, noodles). Delicious pastries are also 5-6 types. Of the fruits, I really liked the "dragon's eye". It tastes like kiwi and gooseberries. There are two types: with red or white pulp. Pineapples, watermelons, papaya, cantaloupe were also present daily. As for the number, it is exactly the same as in the picture in the catalog. Linen was changed 2 times a day, in the evenings they brought cookies for tea and two bags of tea and coffee. On Saturdays they brought fruits (grapes, mandarin and chom-pu - a Thai apple with a refreshing sour taste). As for Thai massage - complete relaxation. Very nice in itself. that the hotel gives its guests a subscription to a free session. We also booked 5 sessions of classic Thai massage and did not regret it. The service is excellent and unobtrusive both at the massage and throughout the hotel. before each session, they were treated to a welcome drink (it tasted like a plum), and after a delicious ginger tea with cookies. Now a few words about the hotel beach. Towels for the beach and pool can be taken for free. The sea is relatively clean, as the hotel is located outside the city (tuk-tuk trip to the center took 15 minutes). Ebb and flow are present, but as we were told, only in the off season. However, they did not spoil the overall picture. Excursions. During the 12 days spent in Pattaya, we went to the monkey island, visited the Nong Nouch orchid park, where we also admired the amazing collection of cacti (there are 44 species) and bromeliads (decorative pineapples), visited the zoo, rode elephants, watched their show. We also had a hearty dinner, and after that we launched lanterns into the sky for good luck. LukDod souvenir shop is also worth a visit (included in the tour). The crocodile farm and the park of million-year-old stones are also very interesting. There you can eat crocodile meat. It tastes like a cross between chicken and pork. Not bad. We spent 2 days in Bangkok. We lived in a beautiful hotel "Prince Palace" on the 25th floor. Fully deserves its category - 4 stars. Only next to the hotel there is a market and therefore there is noise and din everywhere: tuk-tuks, motorcycles are scurrying about. Be careful, they don't always follow the rules. The city is very beautiful, only the movement is chaotic. A bit of a contrast, but it did not spoil the mood. We were in the Royal Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, dined in the highest hotel in Bangkok "Baiyoke Sky" and admired the panorama of the evening handsome city from the observation deck on the 84th floor. This is where we ended our journey through the paradise country. I will answer all your questions. Have a nice holiday!
