Advantages: Personal service, economical, 5 star Disadvantages: None
I must share with you all my wonderful experience at the DusitThani hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.
We were on honeymoon during April 1984 and we decided to make an unscheduled stop at Bangkok. Originally our flight was from Singapore to Hong Kong but since the flight, Cathy Pacific, was making a stop in Bangkok, we decided to add it to our itinerary.

The choice mine has stayed on Thailand. After several days in Bangkok, then in Cha-Am, I at last have arrived in Pattaya. This resort is rather popular among ours (that is Russian) tourists. Certainly, not, as Turkey or Egypt, but native speech here it is possible to hear, especially in shopping centers and restaurants. Than is known Pattaya? Inexpensive textiles, sea and, certainly, night life. Speak, that this city has realized life, when here stand the American seamen. They and now often can be met, in the company two - three girls.
