I don't really know what to watch.
in Phuket for the first time. Having followed the links to the excursions, I realized that there are zoos, safaris and farms in Pattaya and Bangkok as well. What is the difference? Where is the best place to visit the zoo in Pattaya, Bangkok or Phuket? What is special to see in Phuket that is not in other regions?

I won’t tell you about zoos, somehow I didn’t have time, in Phuket there is a chic water park, a whole town of 8 zones, very interesting excursions to different islands, I will send you links of various local companies for excursions in Phuket and Pattaya, look and orient yourself which is more to your liking. In my personal you can see photos of some excursions from Pattaya and Bangkok. Take excursions from local companies, the program is the same as that of TO, but cheaper. In Bangkok, it is worth watching (you can do it yourself) the Royal Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, they are geographically located within walking distance from one another, please note that they are allowed into the territory of the temples in closed clothes (arms and legs are covered) for visiting it is better in the morning hours . Siam Paragon (shopping and entertainment complex) is very interesting, there is an aquarium and a 4D cinema, open from 10:00 to 21:00, but the entrance is closed at 20:00. Be sure to take a ride along the Chao Phraya River, the cost is 25 baht, regardless of how much you eat, you can go to China Town, this is a large Chinese area, it has its own flavor, it is interesting to wander around, try roasted chestnuts, go to a cafe to eat the freshest sushi for ridiculous money, see the flower market.

Bayok sky skyscraper on the 86th floor, an open observation deck that slowly rotates to the recording of birdsong, entrance 250 baht (in the cafe on the floor below, you can get a drink on the entrance ticket, you can sit at a table) with dinner at the restaurant on the 84th floor. 850 baht, dinner is so-so. The most gorgeous time at sunset, got a lot of fun.
Take a business card at the reception, there is an address, you can show it to the taxi driver so that he takes you to the hotel. Ask at the reception for a map of the city, usually in hotels they give it for free.

Yes, if you are in Thailand for the first time, one more little tip, the most delicious, cheap and safe food at macarons))) and be sure to try pancakes with mango and chocolate, yummy, and near the boat stations in Bangkok, they sell fried bananas in sesame seeds, I also liked it . By the way, if you leave the Royal Palace and turn left to the nearest pier, 5-10 minutes walk and on the other side of the river you can see the Temple of the Morning Dawn, from there to China Town (I forgot either the next stop, or after one), you need to sit on the right pier .

Many thanks for the links and advice. Be sure to have dinner with his wife on the 86th floor.
And who are these "monsters"???
аватар Lina23S
Yes, you shouldn’t have dinner there, just admire the panorama, preferably at sunset, and at 85 on the entrance ticket they give you a free drink and some kind of fruit or some other small treat. Makashniks are street food vendors, they have such mobile carts like a kitchen on wheels, and there are all sorts of soups and kebabs, noodles, grilled shrimp and squid, in general, all kinds of yummy. They each stand in their place from their grandfather-great-grandfather and the Thais themselves eat with them, there are also good cafes, don’t go to Russian restaurants, you’ll get poisoned one hundred percent. Thais generally have a cult of food and the benefits of this food, we ate in local small cafes and everything is delicious and inexpensive at macarons, in Pattaya we went to the Fuji restaurant once, well, not bad but not particularly impressed, but the price is impressive.))

Oh, I just noticed a mistake, a cafe on the 83rd floor, an observation deck on 84, an entrance ticket to the observation deck is 250 baht, with dinner at a restaurant (82 floor) 850 baht, dinner is a regular buffet, those who went were disappointed. Tickets are sold at the box office for 1st floor (once you go inside, take the kiosk away).

Tell me, is there a temple in Bangkok or Pattaya where couples who want kids go? Can I get there on my own? Or is there an excursion there?
аватар Lina23S
This is the Temple of Truth and it is located in Pattaya, it’s convenient on your own if you live in the northern part of the city near the temple, an excursion there costs 600 baht ($ 20) look at the map where the hotel is located in which you plan to relax, if the city center or Jomtien is easier to go to excursion. I’ll send you a personal website of a local company with excursions from Pattaya, because this excursion, as well as all the others, is more expensive for TO.

That's how much I work in tourism in Pattaya, I never cease to be surprised that tourists know more than we do, who sells these excursions :)))) Enlighten what kind of temple and where it is located. Or is it the Temple of Truth?
http://amira.com.ua/index.php/temple
Then he is in Pattaya and an excursion there costs 500 baht with a transfer from the hotel and back. The entrance ticket at the box office of the temple also costs 500 baht. So there's no point in getting there. But I have not heard that they go there on purpose to have children.
аватар Lina23S
Anatoly this is the temple of Truth))) there is also a similar temple in Bangkok (in the sense of the topic of children) they also bring wooden figurines of male dignity there))) just an exhibition of models))) I don’t remember the name.
By the way, on your website the price is 600 baht, which made the tour cheaper.)
аватар Lina23S
Ohhh, so Tai is rich in such temples, I didn’t know about Pheket.

There is such a place in Bangkok - the temple of the goddess Tabtim (The Goddes Tubtim Shrine), better known among tourists as the Temple of the Giant Phallus. During the construction process, the temple ended up on the territory of the Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel. You can get there by metro, you need to get off the BTS Chitlom station and go a little to the east. After the elevated passage and the shopping center, turn left onto Soi Som Khit. This small street runs along a small canal, so you won't pass by. Walk all the way to the end until you see the Swissotel Nai Lert Park. The whole journey takes about 10 minutes. After the checkpoint of the hotel, turn left, there is next to the entrance to the parking lot and is located on the temple. Women come here if they have any problems in their personal lives with their husband. They make a wish, and if it comes true, they bring here a figurine of the male genital organ. Trees are wrapped with bright ribbons and decorated with jasmine flowers in honor of the mistress of this place, Tabtim. Judging by the size of some “thanks” and their number, she made many people happy. ))))))

"what made the tour cheaper"
This is the price for a package traveler. Basically, all my tourists are package tourists, so I’m on the machine and write 500 baht. :)))
аватар Lina23S
It is clear, but I was already happy. I roll my lip back.))))
аватар Amir1
why? A package tourist is one who buys not one excursion, but a program of stay. You were about to do the same. Or just wanted to visit the temple of truth?
аватар Lina23S
I misunderstood, I decided that this is for those who are completely resting through your company, it’s not enough for us alone and don’t hope)), all plans are in force, we don’t change anything.))) how much will fit or is it better to pour so that more enters.))
аватар Amir1
don't worry, it's not necessary. You can also grab a jar of red caviar, I won't be offended :))))))) I'll give you the money.
аватар Lina23S
We'll take it, don't get caught.)))
аватар Amir1
and I do not care, especially since I do not want to "load ". But if it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be bad. There is no such thing here.
аватар Lina23S
Yes, it’s not hard not to walk, but we’ll go))) but we take things to a minimum, so there won’t be an advantage.)
аватар war-wolf
Lina, when will you be in Thailand? We are leaving in a couple of weeks, maybe we will meet and organize something together.
Amir, are you serious about caviar?
аватар Lina23S
We are flying out on 14.01, I’m already going to pack my suitcase))) but it’s serious about caviar, well, it’s not there, and there’s no champagne. But there is much more.)))
аватар Lina23S
War-wolf and what dates and where will you be, we will be in Bangkok on 26-27, we will fly away on 28.
аватар Amir1
Lina, write me the name of the hotel, the time of arrival in Bangkok and your last name, first name, so that I can find you at the hotel on the first day.
аватар Lina23S
I write) look in a personal.
аватар war-wolf
Unfortunately we will be in Phuket at that time. Let's break up a bit.
аватар Lina23S
Well, there's nothing to be done, it's good for you to relax and have time to see everything that you have planned.)) And do not forget to share your impressions when you return.
аватар war-wolf
Thank you, we'll try our best.
I will post reviews of hotels and excursions upon arrival at home.
