Resorts of Thailand

In Thailand, there are 3 main resorts - this is the city and the islands and Koh Samui. The rest of the resorts in Thailand cannot boast of a large number of tourists, but this is what attracts those who want to be alone.

Pattaya is worth choosing for those who come to Thailand to have fun. Here every tourist will find "their own". It is in Pattaya that the largest Russian-speaking diaspora lives. You should not go to this city with children, as it is the capital of sex tourism.

Phuket is suitable for both party-goers and families with children, everything will depend on which resort on the island you choose. If you came to have fun and you are not a stranger night life, then you should choose a hotel on Patong Beach. Families would be better off staying at other beaches - Kata, Karon, etc.

Koh Samui is much smaller than Phuket and is known for families with children. This does not mean at all that there are no entertainment nightlife venues. Young people who choose Koh Samui for their vacation prefer to settle on the noisiest Chaweng beach, where you can dance in clubs at night.

Islands of Thailand

In the south of Thailand there are thousands of islands, which are either world-famous resorts or in general, are uninhabited and do not have a name.

by the most major island in Thailand is Phuket, which is also the second most popular resort.

It is customary to leave for Koh Chang for 2 days, and you can buy a tour to this island at any travel agency in Pattaya.

Koh Phangan is the island where the Fool Moon Party takes place every month during the full moon. You can get here from Koh Samui.

The Similan Islands are also close to Phuket and the opportunity to visit them exists only from November to April.

Excursions in Thailand

Currency and banks

Thai baht is used in Thailand and for many years 1 dollar is equal to approximately 32 baht.

You can travel to Thailand with both dollars and euros. It is better to take large bills of dollars with you, as small ones are accepted at a lower rate. The euro does not have this discrimination. You can also take rubles with you to Thailand, but those exchange offices, where they are accepted, is much smaller, and the course is often not profitable for tourists.

In Thailand in in large numbers There are ATM machines, so you can take with you bank card and withdraw money from it. In most ATMs, a commission of 150 baht ($ 5) is removed from your card from each transaction, so it is better to withdraw the maximum possible amount immediately (10 or 20 thousand baht). There are also such ATMs in Thailand that do not charge a commission - these are AEON bank ATMs. Most of them can be found in large shopping malls and hypermarkets.

Weather in Thailand and when is the best time to go there

As we said above, in the resorts of Thailand, the air temperature is kept at around +30 degrees. The sea is always warm, even at night.

The tourist season is from November to April. The rainy season lasts from May to October.

The monsoon season can negatively affect your vacation, as some excursions from Phuket are either canceled or shortened, as strong waves are observed at sea and there is a danger that the ship with tourists will capsize. Also during this period in Phuket it is impossible to swim due to high waves and a ban on swimming.

On vacation in Pattaya, the rainy season will not negatively affect in any way.

Transport in Thailand

IN Pattaya tourists they move around the city in pickup trucks with two shops, which they call tuk-tuks, but the Thais themselves call them songthaews. The fare is 10 baht. You can also take either a regular taxi or a motorcycle taxi. Here the price is negotiable.

In Phuket, tuk-tuks work like taxis, so travel on this island will cost much more than in Pattaya. As such, public transport not available in Phuket. Centenarians usually rent a motorbike and move around the island on it.

If you need to move to another city or island, then the best option can become an airplane budget airline, such as AirAsia. Even a flight to neighboring country, such as Cambodia, will not exceed $50. better in advance.

Bus and train service in Thailand is also present, but tourists prefer to travel on air-conditioned tourist buses.

Safety in Thailand

The biggest problem in Thailand can be theft from hotel safes. In no country in the world are thefts in hotels so developed as in Thailand, so it will be much safer to carry everything of value with you, and even to the beach. In which case, you will be able to fight back the robber, but when they steal from your hotel room in your absence, you will not be able to prevent this. Theft from rooms is almost always observed only in package hotels, where they bring tourists who have bought vouchers. IN family hotels and guest houses value their reputation, and therefore do not steal.

Another danger awaits tourists on the street. Thais on mopeds, passing by tourists, grab their bags and leave at high speed. It will be impossible to catch up with them or remember the number written in Thai characters.

When withdrawing money, it is better to use ATMs located in banks or shopping centers. Those ATMs that are located on the streets can be used by scammers to make a duplicate of your card and then withdraw all the money from it.

Taxi drivers in Thailand, as well as in other countries, are not clean-handed and for the most part try to get rich at the expense of stupid tourists. When getting into a taxi, always make sure that the taxi driver turns on the meter, and make sure that he does not roll too fast. Otherwise, just tell the taxi driver to stop. If a taxi driver offers you to stop at some store along the way, then never agree.

Food and fruits in Thailand

Thais are a nation that is able to eat 24 hours a day, so food stalls, which Russian tourists here call macarons, are present at every turn. Do not be afraid to eat with them, as no one has been poisoned yet.

Almost all main dishes in Thailand are served very spicy, so if you are not a fan of chili peppers, then warn the restaurant in advance that they will prepare a non-spicy dish for you.

In Thailand, be sure to try Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai noodles and Som Tam salad.

Thailand probably has the largest selection of exotic fruits, as the crop is harvested 3 times a year. The most favorite fruit for the Thais themselves is durian, but because of strong odor it is forbidden to bring it to hotels and transport it on airplanes. Here you can find watermelon not only with red flesh, but also with yellow, although they taste the same. All the fruits you know will be much tastier in Thailand. Here it is not necessary to buy a whole watermelon, pineapple or durian, as the sellers can cut them, take out the bones, put them in a transparent bag, to which they will attach wooden skewers, on which you will string fruit.

Alcohol in Thailand

Thai beers include Chang, Singha, Leo and Tiger. There are also other types of beer, which are sold both in glass bottles and in cans.

The Thai rum Sang Som, which is sold both in small bottles and large ones, is quite popular among tourists.

If you are going to call Russia from Thailand, then it is better to do it from a Thai SIM card, as it will be cheaper than connecting roaming.

If you are traveling to Thailand at peak tourist season, i.e. on New Year then better in advance. If you are going to relax at another time of the year, then without any problems you will find suitable accommodation upon arrival at the resort. It doesn't have to be a fancy hotel. You can rent an apartment, bungalow, mansion or stay in a guest house. An inexpensive room will cost you 500 baht ($15) per night. For longer stays, you are entitled to a significant discount.

Travel insurance for Thailand

For a holiday in Thailand, it is not necessary to buy a tourist medical insurance, since you will be allowed into the country without it. However, as practice shows, accidents happen to those who do not have insurance. Accidents happen quite often in Thailand. tourist buses and cases of injury on excursions, the beach and various tropical diseases also happen.
