Town in Town. Town in Town.

"Pattaya. . January 2012 Town in Town Hotel. "So. . . Pattaya. The hotel is the same as a year ago. . . Town in Town. A year has passed since the last trip, the hotel has changed. The facade of the building was painted and now it has acquired a pleasant brownish tint. My single turned out to be just as big and spacious, 9th floor, room 914. I throw things, shower, change clothes and run along familiar paths Sukhumvit Road, "road to Bangkok", white tuk tuks go, price 20 baht). Even if you slowly walk along the road, they themselves signal and offer to bring you. In the right place for you, press the bell button on the roof of the cabin, go out and give the driver 10 baht through the window. I sit down on the embankment in my favorite cafe and order a decanter of Chang beer. . sitting on leather sofas watching the traffic on beach road.....the beauty! Time seemed to freeze. Across the road is a promenade with palm trees, you can see the sunbeds of the beach and the Gulf of Thailand! . A motorbike drove up to the cafe, and now another Thai man is walking from table to table and offering a watch. My eyes fell on a Rolex watch that cost 1000 baht, I had to take it, let it be. Ahead of me is an excursion to Koh Chang and Cambodia. It's lunchtime and I'm heading towards Walking Street. In the Mike shopping mall on the top floor there is a very good cafe, mostly Thais go there and I didn’t see more than five people there (if you enter from beach road, then there are two large lions at the entrance to the mall). Soup tom yam 65 baht, main courses (noodles with seafood, rice with chicken) in the region of 50-70 baht. I have always dined there. In the evening, I took noodles in a muffin bowl, which they put on a hot frying pan, broke an egg, quickly mixed it all up, added garlic, mushrooms and fresh chopped vegetables. . . such a plate with a "slide" 50 baht. Friends told me about the shopping center, which is located near Walking Street. At the turn from this street, 500 meters up and to the right is a 4-storey building where they sell equipment, mainly mobile phones. There I bought an android-based tablet in a case and a built-in keyboard for 5000 baht : )) iPhone 4 phones for 3500 baht. It quickly got dark outside and I went to the nest of debauchery : ) On Walking Street. as always the people shaft. Nimble Thais, guessing the nationality on the fly, offer to visit the pussy show, while saying "come on, come on. " To which I usually answered "later later", smiling at each other, we went about our business. These days it was just the Chinese New Year and the street was filled with Chinese comrades with dragons in bright costumes. The spectacle was breathtaking. I will not describe my acquaintances with Thai girls, but my love remained in Pattaya and we still correspond by email. Thailand is a country where it is always comfortable and cozy, where at least for a while you forget all the negative things that are present in our lives and when you return home you look forward to a new meeting with smiling Thais, the sun and a good mood. Tickets for Etihad Airways to Bangkok have already been bought for September. . . wait is not long : -)) Well, then.... Kenya!
