Pattaya is the tourist Mecca of Thailand. Every year, more and more Russians come to the resort for sea, sun, and new experiences. For vacationers who prefer to plan their trip independently, the question of choosing accommodation arises. For a long stay, you can rent an apartment, but what if you plan many transfers, excursions, and want to visit many places? Hostels and guesthouses come to the rescue. You can find them in any area of Pattaya. Accommodation varies in price and options. All that remains is to choose the most convenient option.
