Thailand is one of the leaders in the tourism market in Southeast Asia. In addition to beautiful seascapes, clean beaches, rich tropical nature, rich cultural program, Thailand also offers tourists an unimaginable mix of experiences from Thai spas, parties, Thai food and street life. Centuries-old Buddhist temples and the most famous centers of sex tourism, untouched natural paradises and crowded noisy eastern megacities, expensive shopping centers and street markets. Thailand has so many contrasts, so much life and impressions that it leaves no one indifferent.
Holidays in Thailand for Russian tourists are practically not overshadowed by any formalities. Citizens of the Russian Federation and most CIS countries do not need a visa to travel to Thailand for less than 60 days, and customs rules are very loyal.
The zoning of Thai resorts is remarkably specific. The specialization of tourist areas in Thailand is dictated not even by climatic or natural features, but more by their cultural difference.
Metropolitan Bangkok attracts pilgrims, business travelers, shoppers and city breaks. The islands of Koh Samui and Phuket are distinguished by impeccable beaches, clear sea, beautifullandscapes. They attract lovers of classic rest, solitude and first-class relaxation. The islets of Chang, Tao and Phi Phi are suitable for tourists who appreciate natural beauty, unspoiled landscapes and pristine tropics. And bright Pattaya invites young, cheerful and noisy budget tourists.
About the bustling resort of Pattaya
Pattaya is the most colorful and full-blooded resort in Thailand. This already crowded corner is eager to visit tens of thousands of Russian and European young gambling travelers in search of new experiences. Thanks to established scheduled and charter flights, Pattaya is able to cope with these incessant flows. It is only an hour's drive from the country's main airport, Suvarnabhumi, but Pattaya also has its own air gate - U-Tapao Regional Airport, which accepts charter flights during the high period.
Another nuance of rest in Pattaya is that for all its attractiveness and non-triviality, Pattaya is not very suitable for lovers of a relaxing holiday on the coast. The sea in this area can hardly be called “clean as a tear”, and the coast is filled with tourists “to the eyeballs”. But for lovers of adventure, parties, street festivals, spirited, outdoor activities, shopping and meeting new people, Pattaya is ideal.
How to choose a hotel in Pattaya?
When choosing a hotel in Pattaya, one should take into account the atmosphere and character of the rest in this area. It is the home of nightlife, crowded streets and ubiquitous markets. There is, however,a few expensive high-end hotels, but their proliferation belies the very essence of this ever-walking and ever-young resort.
In addition, in Thailand there is practically no logic in assigning star status to hotels. The accreditation of accommodation facilities here is so bizarre that a five-star hotel can easily be inferior in terms of range and quality of services to a modest trio.

The hotel has been open since 2009. It consists of two seven-story buildings (TSX5 and TSX 5.25). The hotel has 189 rooms in total.

No smoking rooms.
Hotel location
Tsix5 Hotel 4 is located in the village of Naklua in the north of Pattaya. The town of Naklua is a 20-minute drive from the southern center of Pattaya, with its shopping malls, clubs and other infrastructure. The town itself is inhabited mainly by fishermen, this place is known for the freshest seafood, they are served in most restaurants or cooked right at the exit of the largest fish market.
Despite the small remoteness of Naklua from the noisy Pattaya Beach, this place is not at all deaf and dull. For those tourists who do not want to go15-20 minutes by taxi or tuk tuk to the south of the island, there are many shopping centers, cafes and attractions in Naklua itself.
For example, just 2 km from Tsix5 Hotel Pattaya is Central Festival Pattaya Big C.
Naklua Beach is 800 meters from the hotel. Hotel Zign's beach is even closer and is also at guests' disposal, but according to tourists, this beach is more suitable for fishing than for a beach holiday.
Within walking distance from the hotel is the main attraction of northern Pattaya - the Sanctuary of Truth, a completely wooden temple complex, built without a single nail. The building of the cathedral, 105 meters high, is recognized as the most impressive wooden structure in Thailand. Also not far from the hotel there is a dolphinarium, an equestrian club.
The hotel is 126 km from Bangkok's main Suvarnabhumi Airport and 35 km from U-Tapao Air Port.
Hotel orientation
Like most hotels in Pattaya, Tsix5 Hotel is most focused on young and active clients. As such, there is no animation or show programs in the hotel itself. For the most diverse entertainment, you should rush to the very center of Pattaya on Walking Street. The convenient location of the hotel, the comfort of the rooms and the quality of services make it quite suitable for business travelers and even families with children.
Resting in this hotel does not oblige you to anything. This is probably the most pleasant bonus for guests. After all, even though Tsix5 Hotel is located in Pattaya, butthe specific town of Naklua in the north of the district is a rather peaceful place, which at first glance looks more like a fishing village. And all the pleasures of nightlife and loud pastime can be experienced by driving just 15 minutes to the center of Pattaya. Naturally, after stormy parties or gambling, it is not very pleasant to go back to the hotel, especially in the very central center of Pattaya, budget hotels are also a dime a dozen. But, a valuable nuance of any holiday, all the more saturated with night festivities, is a good sleep, and the opportunity to sleep sweetly, alas, is not very available to tourists who have settled in the epicenter of the Pattaya resort.
If you look at the ethnic composition of the guests, then in the Tsix5 Hotel 3rest mainly Russians, less Europeans, there are Chinese, Belarusians, Ukrainians and residents of Central Asia. The staff at the hotel speaks English, there are several Russian-speaking employees.

Sea and beach
The hotel is located on the second coastline. The hotel does not have its own beach, but guests can visit the beaches of the Zign 5and Garden Sea View 4hotels. According to the reviews of tourists, the beach of the Garden Hotel is much larger and cleaner. Guests receive beach towels free of charge at the hotel on the ground floor. Garden Beach is 10 minutes walk at a calm pace (800 meters).
The sea on the north coast of Pattaya is a little better and cleaner than on the south coast of Pattaya Beach, but you should not count on flawless beaches and azure water. For such charms, you need to go to the Koh Chang or Phuket islands.

The quality of rest in Thailand directly depends on how well the hotel and resort is chosen. So, when analyzing the reviews of tourists, you should evaluate them objectively and pay special attention to the reviews of tourists who travel with the same goals.

Especially flattering tourists describe the location of the hotel, the courtesy of the staff, they praise breakfasts,note the good speed of the Internet. But tourists will use the most enthusiasm when describing the rooms. They are really high quality, very functional, well thought out, the appliances work well, the rooms are locked with cards, the safe and minibar are free. The interior is very stylish and pleasant.
There are very few negative reviews about the hotel. Their authors complain about the quality of the beach and its remoteness.
