What excursions to visit in Thailand? The best excursions in Thailand at affordable prices! How to choose a time to travel

Advice on what excursions and at what price to choose in Thailand, Pattaya. We are often asked what excursions should be taken. The choice of excursions in Pattaya is really very large. It’s difficult to give advice to everyone of different ages and preferences, so I’ll tell you about the most popular and best-selling excursions offered by the Thai tour agency “The Little Mermaid”.
The main religion in Thailand is Buddhism. There are a large number of wonderful and amazing temples in Pattaya and nearby.

You can visit the Temple of Truth, carved entirely from teak wood, and the Chinese Temple and Museum of Heaven and Hell on the Discovery Classic tour. Temple-museum Wat Yang, with a visit to the village of amazing women with the longest neck in the world, and of course an excursion to Bangkok with a visit to the Royal Palace, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, ride along the river, eat in a skyscraper, where the chic Buffet. It is possible to combine this trip with a visit to the Siam Ocean World and the Siam Niramit costume show. A new excursion “The Mystery of Siam” has appeared, this is a trip to the province of Chachoengsao. During the excursion you can see one of the largest temple complexes in Thailand, Wat Sophon, the “Golden Temple”, A giant statue Ganesha.

Thailand has a lot of zoos and parks, water parks and aquariums. The largest of them is Siam Ocean World, the cheapest way to visit it is during an excursion to Bangkok, traveling to the temples, the additional payment will be only five hundred Thai rubles. An excellent water park is Siam Park City, a great place to spend a day with friends or family, the park has a lot of attractions and entertainment, after purchasing an excursion it’s all free. Departure is approximately 8-30 in the morning, the price of the excursion is one thousand two hundred baht, departure back is at 16-30, every day, Thai-style lunch is included. In Pattaya there is an aquarium about one hundred and fifty meters long, inexpensive and short-lived if you don’t have enough time for everything. Excursions there are usually individual, the price is six hundred baht.

In Thailand and Pattaya you can see and feed a wide variety of animals and reptiles. The most popular is of course the Khao Kheow Open Zoo. You can spend the whole day in it, you can wander around on your own or rent an electric car, if you are going to do this, don’t forget your license. The rental price for an electric car is approximately five hundred baht. The tiger zoo is small, but you can cuddle tiger cubs there. Take a photo with a big tiger and watch how the piglets live peacefully next to the tigers in the same enclosure. Pattaya has a large number of snake, crocodile and elephant farms. At the farms you will be offered to buy souvenirs and have the opportunity to feed the animals - crocodiles, elephants, and you can taste test snakes and crocodile. They usually ride elephants for twenty or thirty minutes, chat with the giants, and you can also ride during an excursion to the magnificent tropical garden of Nong Nooch Paradise Pattaya and temple complex Wat Yan. The price is about four hundred, five hundred baht. I recommend that everyone buy excursions to the tropical park Nong Nooch Paradise Pattaya. The cost is five hundred and fifty baht. When your time visiting Thailand is limited or you want to devote no more than one day to animals, I strongly recommend purchasing the Discovery Classic excursion. Seven excursions in one. You will visit open zoo Khao Kheow Open Zoo, where you can feed and take pictures with the animals. Tiger Zoo, where there are always cute tiger cubs. Crocodile farm, eat kebab made from crocodile meat. Oyster plantation, taste live oysters. Watch wonderful show programs: elephants, snakes, crocodiles and tigers. Visit the Thai and Chinese operating temples, the Museum of Hell and Heaven. The price of the excursion is one thousand two hundred baht. Be careful since 2013 they began to offer it and large tour operators, but, more often than not, under this name they sell a stripped-down program without visiting the open Khao Kheo Zoo. Safari World is the largest and most popular outdoor zoo in Thailand. The excursion from Pattaya to Safari World is one of the most exciting and amazing. Driving through the huge park by bus or car, you will see wild animals roaming freely: rhinoceroses, zebras, ostriches, tigers, elephants, giraffes and big variety other exotic inhabitants. At stops you can feed giraffes and elephants, take pictures with tiger cubs and bear cubs, admire colorful fish in small picturesque lakes and magnificent black swans. Unusual and varied show programs are also held here with the participation of a variety of tailed, winged, and waterfowl artists.

If you have flown to Thailand to relax at the seaside, it is advisable to go on a sea excursion at least once. There are several options for boat trips depending on the ship and various features on the excursion itself. In one version, this is a free parachute or “pill”, snorkeling, free alcohol. Fishing for small groupers is included in all programs, as is a visit to Monkey Island. The types of ships vary from an ordinary Thai boat or speedboat to a luxury sailing catamaran or yacht. Price from one thousand six hundred baht to two thousand eight hundred baht. So, it all depends on your wallet and preferences - think for yourself, decide for yourself. We arrived in a large group, which means you can rent a ship or speedboat, which will be more economical and comfortable.

Of the two-day excursions, the top sellers are a trip to the River Kwai and an excursion to Cambodia to the Angkor Wat temple. Everyone has heard about the excursion to Kwai, so I won’t write about anything in particular. The only thing I’ll say is, don’t pay attention to the “horror movies” about hotels without electricity and water, unless, of course, you bought an excursion for less than two thousand two hundred baht. Today the price is around two thousand five hundred baht, the program includes EVERYTHING, from an elephant ride to a visit to the 7-level Erawan waterfall. Also, do not take Thai cosmetics during the excursion, order a free transfer from us to the right pharmacy and you can buy the entire range at 20-30% cheaper. A two-day excursion to Cambodia has almost halved in price in two years and costs 3,600 baht. It is better to see the Angkor Wat temple once than to hear about it many times. Be careful when booking an excursion; there are “incomplete” programs to Cambodia without visiting Ton Le Sap Lake and visiting a floating village. Accommodation on this excursion is in a guesthouse, not a hotel. Many Thai street agencies sell it as full, be careful.

The islands, according to their distance from Pattaya, are divided into far, near and Koh Larn. Far away are the islands of Koh Chang ( Koh Chang) and Koh Kood. Excursions there are two-day, the islands are excellent, the water is clear, the sand is snow-white, palm trees are like in advertising pictures, bungalows different types and categories. In my opinion, in terms of price-quality ratio, I would recommend Koh Chang. Some travelers choose Koh Kood as a matter of principle. Price of the excursion, with normal meals and good hotel, starts from three thousand eight hundred baht, and depends on the level of hotel food and program on the island itself. Close to the islands of Koh Samet and Princess Sirindhorn. The ride takes about an hour, the price of the excursion starts from one thousand three hundred baht. Lunch and a sunbed are included in the price of the excursion. The island of Koh Larn is located next to Pattaya, it is better to get to it on your own, there is a ferry to it from Balihai Pier, from 6-30 in the morning, the price is from 100 baht.

For those who like to fish, fishing in Pattaya is divided into sea and lake. Sea fishing happens for large predatory fish and small perches sea ​​walks. Don't get confused when ordering excursions. Lake fishing is divided into two types. For catfish weighing up to fifteen, twenty kg, and for various exotic fish - Snakehead, Siamese carp, Piranha Paku, Giant Mekong catfish, Giant arapaima, Barramundi and many others. You can catch catfish in several paid lakes in Pattaya. They are equipped with canopies, a bar, tables and other services; you can safely go with your wife or girlfriends. Price from eight hundred baht, minimum number of people from 2 people. Lakes with various “monsters” - one is in Pattaya, the other is near Bangkok. In Pattaya, the weight of fish is up to forty kg. Bangok's monster lake Bung Sam Lan Lake is famous all over the world and the trophies there reach up to two hundred kg. The only caveat is that the price of fishing starts from ten thousand baht and gets more expensive every year.

Offers " active rest"There are a lot of them in Pattaya. These are ATVs, jeeps, diving, flying on a steam engine, bungee jumping, rope routes, shooting from military weapons and the like. It takes a long time to write, and, as a rule, “extreme enthusiasts” who are interested in such pastimes know everything well themselves or read specialized sites. We have almost all “active excursions” on sale; by clicking on the link, you can see descriptions and photo reports from these excursions.

From the show in Pattaya, everything is traditional - costume shows of transvestites Alcazar and Tiffany. In 2013, a new Colosseum Show Pattaya opened. Many different animal shows take place during the Safari Park excursion. And a bestseller is the opportunity to watch a show and swim with dolphins. IN high season Tickets to visit the dolphins must be booked 5-7 days in advance. There are gorgeous shows - dance, laser, historical, costumed Siam Niramit in Bangkok and Alangkarn Show in Pattaya.

For adults, “Shocking Asia” is offered - an erotic show. As soon as they don’t call it a porn show and a 69 show, and a show for adults, and shocking Asia. The show is non-stop, runs for three hours, repeating every forty-five minutes, which you actually paid for. Practice has shown that before viewing, it is advisable for our tourists to take it lightly on their chests, for better digestibility of the material, so to speak. And if anyone has watched erotic shows on Walking Street, I hasten to disappoint you, you were deceived, all the shows in the go-go bars on this street are free, and have nothing to do with “Shocking Asia”.

If you are going on holiday to Thailand, it is better to study the features, traditions and rules of this country in advance. Thanks to this, you will protect yourself from some ridiculous situations and find out what life is like local residents and what are their customs. Of course, it won’t be possible to talk about all the features in one article, but I want to present to your attention the 25 most interesting facts about Thailand.

1. Thais are very religious people and they are sensitive to their religion. Buddhism mainly flourishes here. No matter what conditions the Thai himself lives in, even in an old hut, there is always a beautiful house of spirits next to his house.

2. Thailand has a completely different calendar. When we celebrated 2015, Thais welcomed 2,558.

3. The King of Thailand has American citizenship.

4. King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand has been in power since 1946 and is included in the Guinness Book of Records for the longest reign.

5. Thais greatly revere their king and the entire royal family. In cinemas, before the start of the show, the national anthem is always played, and the king is shown on the screen, at which time all Thais stand up and listen to him silently. All students start their day in the same way; the anthem is played in schools and universities. In cities, posters with the image of the king hang on the streets. Under no circumstances say anything bad about the king, this will be considered an insult to His Majesty. Do not throw money on the floor, do not crush it or get it dirty. The thing is that the king is depicted on banknotes. For insulting the king, you can get a fine or even go to prison.

6. Thais are relaxed and slow people; they are not in a hurry. The Thai people live by the principle: “if I don’t have time in this life, I will do it in the next.” For them, the main thing is the joy of the moment, they do not pursue material wealth, they do not see the need for it.

7. Thais do not complain or whine, unlike many Russian people, where this is considered normal. They believe that everything that comes into their life they deserve and the cause of problems should be looked for in themselves, and not to blame others. In this I share their views. After all, we ourselves attract events into our lives with our thoughts, and this has been proven more than once. So, think positively and you will be happy!

8. In Thailand, in all public institutions, buses, trains, air conditioners operate at full capacity. When you enter a store, cold air immediately blows on you and you want to dress warmly.
