It was the first time in Thailand. Heard a lot from friends, read on the Internet, but still there was something to be surprised. I'll start with a flight from Transaero. All on time, on duty, tired, knurled, no courtesies, but no problems. Thanks to the crew commander - ass. Met Biblio
Globe, brought. The hotel is not new, but for its 3 * completely. For 400 baht they asked for a room above the 10th floor, they were satisfied. The room is really dark, but spacious, like all the other hotel rooms with sea views, so you don’t have to pay extra for the view, it’s convenient that there is a kitchenette. The beach is as narrow as all the others, at low tide it is wider, the sand is always wet, sunbeds are only seated for 30 baht, there was no litter in the water at all, and there is litter everywhere on the sand. The food on the streets is generally digestible, you can eat in the hotel 130-150 baht for a serving of squid, shrimp, beef (in Thai version) in a European way, you don’t want to give up expensive 300 baht for spaghetti and pizza.
Excursions took two, one of them in Bangkok. I advise you to have 2 types of clothing: closed for visiting the complex and open for the bus. We were not warned and we almost died in long pants and shirts with sleeves below the elbow on the bus. By the way, you can rent clothes on the spot for 30 baht. A tour with a Thai guide is not very informative, given the rich history of the country and the oldest religion in the world, it was simply boring. An excursion to the rock garden is also worth a visit, a beautiful place, the opportunity to communicate with animals. At the latex factory, they did not take anything in shopping malls, everything is 3 times cheaper. They also went to the island to sunbathe, the road is very tiring. To the pier by tuk-tuk for 10 baht per person, then by ferry for 60 baht, and on the island by tuk-tuk for 30 baht. Time about 2 hours. The water is certainly cleaner, the sand is whiter, but that's all. It's a 20 minute drive from the hotel to Walkin Street, often on chaise longues.
You can’t ask where you are going, they will consider it like a taxi for 200 baht instead of 10. The city is dirty, crowded, stuffy, there is an advantage of transport on the roads, so pedestrians scatter like mice. Sidewalks are narrow. They have trees, poles, tables for food. Shopping on the streets, as we have in Chinese bazaars, both in price and quality, is the same night market. In shopping centers it is more decent, the prices are lower than ours, but not for everything. You can bargain at the Tukkom computer center. The courtesy and friendliness of the Thais seemed to me very far-fetched, ordinary tired, irritated people, even please don’t answer thanks. The hotel has the same picture. It seems that the standards of service for them are still unfamiliar. Thai for a day costs 1500 baht. We saw many Russians and foreigners with them. They may be the authors of rave reviews of Thai hospitality. During the rest, I had a fever, I had to see a doctor.
They could not get through to Moscow for half a day, our guide from Biblio Globus did not participate in any way. "Well, call me" that's all. The guide's name is Alexander, you will be interesting to him only to sell excursions. On the way back you can return the VAT called Waterfound. I asked the guide on the bus how to do it. I replied that everything will be returned to me at the airport. C asked at the entrance to the airport, they said after passport control. Passed control, went to the return counter, they said there is no seal that needs to be put before the check-in. Of course you can't return. I think the guide did not have the information, and therefore could not explain anything. Also with fruits. It turns out that you need to take only small baskets, they can be taken in hand luggage, but the large one had to be checked in as luggage, the fruit was damaged. And again, there is no one to ask. Probably the tour operator does not have feedback from tourists, otherwise it was possible to take care of their guests, suggest, warn.
I tried to fit as much information as possible for you so that your vacation goes without a hitch, because I myself used the reviews of tourists and am grateful for a lot. The country is unusual, the rest is very different from the usual ollinkueiv, but it’s worth visiting, maybe more than once.
