Tourist in Thailand



Pattaya and Walking Street
Thailand as you all know  is one of the most exotic places in the world you can visit. There are a lot of different things that you can see. And one thing is certain and that is that you will never be bored. If you are you looking for a warmer climate to get away from the cold weather, or the entertainment and nightlife, then this is the place for you. All of this can be found here.
 Bangkok is a huge city, and is an ideal place for shopping. I personally visited Pattaya, which is not far from Bangkok. It is only a two hour drive, and the busses are easy to find. I came directly from Bangkok airport to Pattaya, and didn’t have trouble at all.
When I arrived, I took an interesting taxi that was very pleasant and funny for me. It’s called a Tuk-tuk taxi. It is actually a van with two seats, where the rear of the trunk was built ​​like that so you can to sit. It has a roof to protect from the rain and two benches, even a metal rod on which you can stand.
Next thing I noticed was the number of motorcycles on the streets. It’s a huge number. I guess in this traffic it’s good to have a bike, and not a car. Since you will get to your desired destination faster than with a car.
People In Pattaya are used to tourist, and for me it was no trouble to fit in. They are pleasant people who smile a lot. And when you figure out that money has a big role here,  you will have no difficulties and your time here will be easier.
The number of massage parlors is enormous. I haven’t been to a street yet, and not seen at least a couple of massage parlors. And when you go for a walk, even if you don’t notice a massage parlor. There are always people in from who will advertise their salon, and invite you in. The price for a standard Thai massage Is 200 Baht, and often you see pleasant Thai girls who work there. I do recommend it you go at least once.
Thailand tourism is very developed. I don’t need to say more, because the number of tourist is the proof of that. If you are visiting Thiland, and coming to Pattaya, I do not recommend you to take room near central Pattaya or Walking street. It is the most fun place for nightlife and entertainment. But you want to have peace and silence when you sleep. So I suggest to go near, like Jomtien, Pratumnak and other places. It not far away, and it’s easy to come to “Walking street”.
The sandy beaches here are beautiful, long and offer a variety of entertainment like jet ski, boat drive with parachute and other. You can also look for boats that can take you to a nearby island called Ko Lan. A very beautiful place, not so far away.
If you are concerned about food. Do not worry. There are many restaurants that offer different kinds of food. If you're not in the mood to try exotic food, you can always choose dishes from different parts of the world. But there is Thai food that are very good, tasty and healthy. For me, the best is curry soup. Seafood you can find everywhere. Try it.
Money exchange is not a problem, and the currency is quite stable. There is no difference in price at different exchange offices. And you can easily find them.
Hope you can visit Thailand soon.
