Tours in Thailand and Cambodia
We were in Thailand for the first time, it was no coincidence that we chose the Pattaya region, because I wanted to see the country, and even visit Cambodia. I have already written a review about the hotel, now only a report on what I saw. Comparing the prices for excursions (I worked them out at home, then I hoped to take everything from Amira (sorry, Anatoly, I couldn’t get through), collecting all the prices on the street near the hotel, and having received information on prices from the Pegasus guide, we came to the conclusion that part can easily be taken from the latter (then they were based only on cost! ). So for 11 days of pure stay we bought from Pegasus: Cambodia (2 days for 7000 baht in a 4 * hotel), transvestite show "Tiffany" - 800b, to get a bonus a free crocodile show in the park of million stones, they took Mini Siam for 200 baht, and then "Ostap suffered", for some reason they grabbed the zoo for 990.17980 baht for two, went outside to buy excursions for "free time": we chose the "Bring Tour" agency, first we went with them to Nong Nooch Park (550b), then to Bangkok (850). I can definitely say that the guys from street agencies give much more information than Pegasus guides. In addition, a "trick" was discovered when traveling to Cambodia (on the street it was possible to take a tour from the River for 6000 baht (we talked with people) and for this money get a similar program and full support in Cambodia, living in 4 *), we are for their 7t. b. received only 1 breakfast included, for 2 lunches and dinner you had to pay $ 10 extra, dinner included a folk show. I warn everyone who has read up to this point to think 100 times before taking excursions from a hotel guide. For the first time in many trips around the world, she has been so fooled!! ! IMMO. Description of excursions you can find in any source. Personally, we really liked Cambodia (the poorest country that survived the horror of dictate, getting up from its knees and restoring its main shrines - the temples are amazing! ), Special thanks to the Cambodian guide nicknamed Samsung (real name is difficult to pronounce). Excellent impressions were left from orchid parks and millions of stones, shows of snakes and elephants are interesting. Very bright and festive Tiffany show. The Royal Palace in Bangkok amazes with its luxury, and to see the capital of Thailand from a height of 84 floors is just a fairy tale! For adults, it makes no sense to visit a separate zoo in Pattaya, a very cursory excursion with a small show, besides, there are small zoos in the Nong Nooch Garden and Million Years Stones really affected by the flood). The country is interesting and colorful, but not everyone wants to return there. We quickly got used to the dirt in the city, we were not at all bothered by the "priestesses" of all sexes standing along the embankment, there was no need to talk about the choice of food for every taste! 10 minutes by tuk-tuk from the center (our three-star Pattaya Park hotel is very well located on the 1st line, has excellent territory and direct access to Domtien Beach). But personally, we were strained by the fact that you can normally enjoy the sea only by leaving for the island (2 times you managed to go to Koh Lan), and if you got excursions for half a day, then be content with the Gulf of Siam at the hotel (the beach and water are like on our Azov or Black). I didn’t find any special shopping in Pattaya - cheap summer rags there, and all branded branded items, like in Russia. If we get together again to Asia, then most likely we will choose another country for a general outlook or on a "burning" trip to Thailand, but only to the islands for complete relaxation, since we already have an idea of u200bu200bfabulous Thailand. I EXPRESSED MY PERSONAL OPINION, I agree with all the admirers of Thailand before (or rather, I accept their position), I can also share with everyone who is going to Thailand for the first time, I will answer questions.
