Sochi against Pattaya. Top 6 plus romantic villager and the capital of debauchery

[DARPA]

Can Sochi compete with other resorts in the world, much more famous and visited? The answer is not as straightforward. Let's compare it with the Thai Pattaya, we shall understand the pros and cons.

Starting conditions are almost the same. Two fairly large coastal city, both sharpened by the tourism industry. There was a half-century of Sochi temporary handicap in Pattaya - a handicap the climate. Sochi is much closer and more convenient is to Europe - the main consumer of spa services, and Pattaya is located in a country where more loyal to the consumer himself, giving him more freedom.

PLUSES SOCHI

1. This is a very, very, very green city. Pattaya sucks, and not only it. In garlic, I have never seen such a green and pleasant for a romantic stroll center. Endless squares, alleys, parks, flower beds, and just planted trees along roads with bushes. The air is filled with the heady scents, especially in a time of flowering. From the tree to the right in this photo went so intoxicating smell that knocks down. In the tropics this, alas, does not happen.

2. For many, it is very important no language barrier. Russia, alas, - the country of indiscriminate learning English and indiscriminate ignorance, even at the most primitive level. At the same time, we are very similar to the Chinese. Hence - the fears of the population '' Oh, and what will be there with us who we are needed there. '' Therefore, in Sochi so many colorful characters from the provinces where foreign speech heard for the last time in school - '' London from e Capital of-grit Britan ''. In Pattaya, with all its abundance and the Russian-speaking compatriots, primitive English still needed.



3. Sochi do not need a passport, do not need to pass border control and to settle debt problems. This allowed all banned from the law enforcement agencies - in short, a minimum of formalities.

4. Excellent conditions Sochi offers to those who want to do sports and has a lot of money. Huge sports cluster, a ski resort - everything is clear. In Pattaya, the sport's much more modest - there are tennis, golf, yoga, fitness, racing on the cards, aquatic species. But it is relatively cheap, and sometimes almost free. You have to choose according to their preferences and wallet.

5. Sochi pleases fine architecture, European and Stalin. Iconic buildings center front frunt oldest resorts on the coast.

This is something that really is not enough utilitarian Pattaya, with its patches of rare beauty.

6. Many people can not live without the usual food. Russian tourists are lining up for Pattaya rygalovok dumplings and borscht, albeit tucked local sweet mayonnaise. In this regard, Sochi canteen seem much less evil than that sharp-pits or unusual salad green papaya. Pattaya is full of restaurants and cafes a variety of cuisines, but our reason, prefer their own, native. Or go to McDonald's.

Strong stable Thai baht almost leveled the cost of food. In Sochi eatery check for a hearty dinner for two is on average $ 10 - 330 baht at the exchange rate and the price of a similar non-touristic dinner in inexpensive cafes. Another thing is that everything will be in Pattaya, where delicious and fresh. If you move to the middle price segment, the cost of meals with meat in Sochi will be equal to about the same $ 10, up slightly from Pattaya restaurant price tag. Stable Thailand, alas, expensive for unstable Russians.

On this, perhaps, the pros end Sochi and blends in with the pros Pattaya.

PLUSES Pattaya

1. The most important and nepobivaemy: a resort infrastructure is no longer anywhere in the world. Pattaya oversaturated catering establishments, travel agencies, stores, discos, markets, brothels, clubs for all orientations, rental housing and transport, entertainment centers. Accustomed that everything is at your fingertips, you begin to wonder why in a radius of 50m there is the right store or passing taxis. Visit 2-3 hours 5-6 discos in Pattaya - the norm rather than the exception.

2. Pattaya - the most free and depraved city on the planet, with the most powerful sex industry. His find absolutely everyone! Classic holiday romance '' in the Sochi 'get along well and are complemented express familiarity with the local priestesses sweaty Asian love, or with the same kurortnitsami. In this regard, the patriarchal sandwiched Caucasian Sochi far behind and will never catch up with the world capital of debauchery.

3. The beaches of Pattaya and the surrounding area certainly better Sochi that would say there is not rare cobblestone fans. Sorry, dear sochintsy but nice beach does not look like this:

... And even more so, not so:

You know yourself? So, a good beach should look something like this:

Well, or so, if you do not want to leave the city center:

Heck, even the beaches of Pattaya illuminated at night! Yes, Vodicka in Pattaya obviously dirtier Sochi, but if you go to Koh Lan or military beach (not to mention the heavenly Samet), the quality of a beach holiday will be much, much higher than in the summer capital of Russia.

4. Local communities in Pattaya where the welcome and smiling, than in Sochi. Before, it was just a huge distance. The famous Soviet rudeness and disregard for the tourists on the one hand and much more well-known Thai hospitality and a million smiles - on the other. Now things have changed, the Thais are much tougher, and Sochi residents - on the contrary, softer and more friendly to those who fed them, but still, there is a difference, and quite strongly. In Pattaya, where the atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance towards all, without exception!

5. In Pattaya, you really have a rest, and distract from the daily routine. Here, everything is completely different. And what is the rest? - A complete change of activity and environment. Sochi - a Russian bottling same shit. Here all the same stores, prefabricated houses, language, food, mat, Lada, Caucasians, cops, etc. that you see every day at home. So why turn the same blanket, when it is possible to completely change the scenery and find yourself in a completely different reality, which will remember a very long time, all the thousands of small differences?

6. In general, the price / quality of the services in Pattaya immeasurably better than in Sochi. In this she has virtually no competitors in the world, with the exception of Thai Phuket or Bali. That is why millions of tourists come here, including and Russians. That is why there are so many expats from around the world, including even the natives of Sochi itself. That is why we are there each year the winter.
