Хочу обратно! I want back!

We were in Pattaya on August 19.2013. The weather was sunny without rain. I liked the city for its compactness, ease of movement on local minibuses (tuk-tuks), and, of course, cheapness: everything from food to services and entertainment is disproportionately cheap and affordable, you can not deny yourself any entertainment, and this despite the fact that we prefer budget travel. The hotel is fully consistent with its stars, daily cleaning, polite staff. Meals (breakfast only) are very rich for breakfast (there were soups and cereals, meat, side dishes, fresh vegetables, stews, jams (I have a sweet tooth), fruits (especially pineapples - they have not been tried anywhere else, but various local fruits that are at home we don’t have it, they weren’t impressed at all. ) There is a noisy air conditioner in the room, but the main thing is that it works. We didn’t hear noise from the street, apparently, we were lucky with the location of the room. Every day they put 2 bottles of water in the room for drinking, free of charge. the beach at the reception give towels. From the hotel to the sea is not far - 10 minutes at a leisurely pace. The water is muddy, rubbish often floats (brings in tides), but very, very warm, almost hot. Minus the sea - on all the stones sticking out of the water or located at a shallow depth of sharp shells, the legs were all cut (and they heal very poorly in a humid climate). But that's nothing, in our hotel there were victims of sea urchins (we stumbled upon them when we went to the beach for ko lan). But if you exercise the necessary caution, all this can be avoided. Most of all in the city I liked the beach (there are the least of these terrible cobblestones with shells) next to the Pattaya Park Hotel, which has an observation deck on the 56th floor and the opportunity to go down the cable car. We traveled all the sights in the city and nearby on our own, without the services of guides, rented a scooter - very cheap, even without documents for a small deposit, BUT - RIDING IN THE CITY IS VERY DANGEROUS, because there is a lot of traffic, they are lovers of breaking the rules, although cultures they have more driving than we do. We went to a crocodile farm - very impressive, especially feeding crocodiles with chickens on fishing rods, which you can immediately buy for 30 rubles. for a chicken carcass with a fishing rod. I did not like the show with crocodiles, because. the crocodiles there were "dead", that is, stuffed with something for inactivity. I liked the variety of animals and birds available there (storks, ostriches, parrots, turtles, monkeys, sheep, etc. ), most of which you can freely approach, touch, if possible. There are also elephants, you can ride them, no elephant farm is needed. I liked the aquarium, it is very large, and the fish in it are large (sharks, rays, hammerheads), there are turtles, etc. I was impressed by the Nong Nooch Orchid Park. In addition to the fact that there are many interesting plants (trees, cacti, bushes), they grow very luxuriantly and, most importantly, they are beautifully decorated, especially a delightful panoramic view. We also visited the show of transvestites "Alkazar", worth the money that they ask for it. Cambodia 3500 baht, Sea safari 1900 baht bought from Maxim thaityr, everything was well organized. Cambodia shocked with its beauties, Angkor Wat fascinates at first sight. Tonle Sap Lake where refugees from Vietnam live, children swim in basins with snakes), lotus farm, Apsara show. The program included a visa, food, all entrance tickets and Russian guides, and for only 3500 baht)) We had Yuri and Timofey very interestingly told about the history and local life. Sea safari, rest on the uninhabited island of Koh Rin - probably the best island in the vicinity, white sand and clear water. According to the program: fishing, they gave out masks, snorkels and flippers. Ride on a tablet. Lunch at the military base and monkey island. A lot of impressions and surprise left a visit to the x-show with erotic performances of girls, but especially men - on this show, two boys, having copulated, jumped and jumped, making all sorts of pretzels. This, probably, you will not see live anywhere, except in Thailand. We liked lunch and dinner most of all in Big C, which is in the city center, not far from our hotel, it sells fresh fish and sea delicacies that can be cleaned right away and cooked to your choice of barbecue, baking or frying, and cleaning and cooking is included in the price of raw fish. Also in the Festival Shopping Center on the lowest floor in the food court, sushi for 10 baht)). In general, the hotel is good, you can go to rest, who are interested, write, I will answer!
