Летние каникулы Summer vacation

For us personally, the hotel seemed to be a pretty good place to spend a vacation based on the price-quality ratio. The hotel is located on Karon Beach - conditionally on the first coastline - there is a highway between the hotel and the beach. However, on Karon, almost all hotels are located like this, with the exception of one or two hotels. The hotel area is not particularly large but green and well-groomed. There are 4 swimming pools including 1 for children with 2 water slides for children. There were always enough sunbeds, but I think when the hotel is fully occupied, they may not be enough - although they can put additional ones. The room was a pleasant surprise - they took the usual superior. Against the description, it turned out that the room is quite large, much more than 30 squares, a large terrace, a decent LCD TV, tea accessories. The room has 2 full beds - one double for us and the second one and a half for the child. Linen and towels were changed every day. It was changed and not remade and neatly folded. Shower supplies were added every day. The room was given in building 4.3rd floor, garden view - quiet, calm, not sunny and you can hear the sea roaring. Walk to the beach from the hotel 100-150 meters. We managed to swim for the first few days - then the sea stormed and it became impossible and very dangerous to enter the sea. Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach are naturally paid 150 baht. We never took lying on the sand and on towels. The beach is large, the sea is clean, although without living creatures. Kata beach seems to be quite good - walk for about 20 minutes. It seemed that the sea is much calmer there - people swam without problems. Compared to Karon, Kata is much busier and more comfortable. We took a tour with breakfast only - we did not regret it. Breakfast is the usual - scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, potatoes, noodles, soup. From sweet baked donuts, nuts. From fruits - watermelon, pineapple, papaya. Almost always had a hearty breakfast and did not want to eat until dinner. Toward evening we ate in cafes. We tried several and settled on what we ate for the first time - called Robinson House. It is located in the same lane where the hotel comes out closer to the intersection with Patak Rod. Decent selection of food and reasonable prices. Dinner cost an average of 400-500 baht for three people. At the same time, everyone ate very paid. They usually took 3 dishes and ate each a little of each dish, since it is unrealistic to eat 2 dishes for one person - the portions are very large. Away from the hotel streets, they ate quite decently for 150 baht for three people. The Thais themselves usually ate there, but there were also English-speaking tourists. The choice of dishes is not great - a couple of soups, 2-3 types of noodles and rice, but everything is very tasty. We didn’t eat there all the time just because we always wanted to try something new. Small products - water, milk, pastries for tea were bought in seven ileven - the prices are very reasonable. Fruits are a separate topic - you need to try everything because I have not seen almost all of them in Russia. Prices - on the tray and the hotel are overpriced by 6-7 times, on the streets 3-4 times from the real price. We found a store where 99% of the Thais themselves bought goods - the prices there were lower than in 7 ileven. So, for example, a watermelon at the entrance to the hotel cost 120 baht, and in the store we took large sizes but for 30 baht. Everything that is sold is very tasty, but when you buy, carefully read the information about the product - you can take sweet pastries with pork or some kind of spicy-sweet product and it will be impossible for us to eat. And the Thais eat. Excursions. We went with our native Pegasus only on a sightseeing tour - more like a shop tour - a snake farm, a latex factory, a jewelry factory, an observation deck. You can go for general development. The rest of the excursions were taken in the Matryoshka tour. Prices compared to Pegasus are significantly lower. There are no complaints about the quality of the excursions - everything is as stated - transfer by good transport, meals, Russian guides. We took 2 excursions - in nat. park to the mainland to Khao Lak park and a boat trip to Phang Nga (James Bond) I liked everything very much, especially James Bond. In general, the impressions of the trip are only positive - compared to Egypt and Turkey, Thailand is a cut above.
