2008.12.21 (Sun)

Although one's own flight is not the first time, but this is my own flying international flights, or for the first time.

Morning 5 point-multipoint is sleepwalking a TAXI to the airport bus, CHINA SOUTHERN, 8: 30 morning flight to BKK Bangkok airport had a Durian ice-cream, bought to big chicken wings of Christmas gifts.

Then transfer to AIRASIA's inland machine, at 2 pm more reach PHUKET. Came to know Thailand times slower than Beijing time for an hour, Oh ~ ~ it seems a row!

I think it will be late AIRASIA, original Tiger Air too, than originally planned to take off for an hour later, the ARRIVAL at the immigration you need to check the passports, but queuing up long.

See all Europeans face, Yo ~ not long ago not to seal the PHUKET Airport two weeks? why so many people coming from?

8 p.m., online booking before good HONDA JAZZ already early in the morning waiting for us.

Airport Carrent Office just outside the airport, white HONDA JAZZ rent 1000balh day, vehicle maintenance, and fuel yeah ~

Although night Mo Mo and way of life, not cooked chicken wings decided we own touch to the hotel.

Thus, the legendary NOKIA MAP finally paticipated to use as a simple GPS, NOKIA MAP comparison easy. PHUKET road construction is very good, about 1 hour, should the BOOMERANG of farms to ask a few locals, BODY LANGUAGE will not work with the pen to write, but don't know why and what are not found in the hotel. Later encountered an enthusiastic person ANDREW received his Canada looking for help, motorcycle takes us into the dark path (NOKIA MAP was not found), and visit the garden after 9 18 bend curve climbed a 60 degree also has a 50-degree slope, believes in the big chicken wings will probably want to kill. Impressive is Andrew on our order hotel rates that are particularly surprised, "53euro! That’s a lot of money!” Come to BOOMERANG has 11 points. Resident Manager PAOLO as we have repeatedly asked first into the room then CHECKIN, still very orderly registration to us. Good Halo!

Finally see our SUITE! ~ ~ big bread I really feel good like this room decor and furnishings, fully in line with my expectations, independent House, secluded privacy, full of insects, good looking!

About driving for almost 3 hours, we'll have to see the ' WELCOME TO KRABI '. Here the landscape with PHUKET completely different, along the many towering peaks. Large bread are screaming "like Yangshuo!" chicken wing said "SORRY not to Yangshuo sowing" bread for the "Oh Sweet you no go to Yangshuo, like Karma night!" all the excitement, the big chicken wings continue to F1 racing driving all the shift to KRABI TOWN, come discover is a very typical small town of Thailand, we can't just eat on the street, found a lot of small hotels guesthouses Street, find here the comparison of the health situation in the room, with PHUKET's too far away. When considering security issues and the various factors, we stayed at the hotel comes the calm spent XMAS EVE. Looking forward to the next day early morning arrived at the distance of 15 km far from KRABI TOWN AO NANG, hope that there will be surprises.

Dec 25

AO NANG is crowded with tourists, and at 15 km from KRABI TOWN, had such a prosperous seaside town.

All the way through the many typical SEAVIEW Hotel, turn a bend found many postmodern design taste of the hotel. We have all seen many hotel rooms, go read some hotel room. Think of price BURI TARA. May be due to the fact that we are 11 a.m. CHECK IN when, hotel desk clerk gave us a one-night package 2000 BALH breakfast. Room furnishings, simple and elegant. Towel was to breaks into the elephant! well impressed!

Evening dip in the street, and found a restaurant can BBQ greatly squids and black cartridge, have a cup of freshly squeezed mango juice, good taste! restaurant next to it is a very small travel agency, since the weather is not very stable, has the potential to PP I.

Rain, so we ate there for money the next day to sea fishing, two people, activities 4200balh includes fishing and superficial see tropical fish and coral.

Dec 26

The next morning breakfast, wonderful wow great bowl of sour milk fruit, I love! that a hotel well worth staying acridine! big chicken wings first took two albums and hit me and said we must eat.

Did not understand, then know that the fishing or laborious! 8: 30 in the morning by the shuttle pick up our sea fishing, waiting at the hotel lobby before being told that we want to CHECKOUT our room ahead of time, unless we are willing to stay an extra night 2800BALH. Eviction of experiences made me happy memories of this hotel was a little off. Never mind, luggage can be placed on our rental car, come back to find a hotel in fishing.

Add our car, the driver is a very professional women of Thailand women, she said: we are the first stop, then go to meet other guests.

Our fishing partners is a parent-child, Germany, AO NANG is their Thailand tour first stop!

We have three vessels man crew, Thailand is equipped with sonar detectors, good professional fishing rod, Cola and other cold drinks.

RMB 400 man, my first fishing experience!

Bait is a large Octopus slices, crew helped us put the bait on the hook, a rod 5 hook and a plumb allows fish line near the sea.

So the big chicken wings of fishing rod started crazy fishing will be a bar and even a bar on two.

And what type, TIGER FISH, Grouper, many call out the name of the fish, still hanging out a large Octopus dizzy! great! I will break the record for bread caught 0 (no way!, never ever award in it), but also have a handful of addiction crew helped me seduce a fish let me your follow-through on the loose leaf. Well, poor little fish.

Because of our fishing boats equipped with sonar detectors, allows you to explore the underwater fish-intensive areas, and parking place at the fish and fishing.

So there are two good simple fishing boats always follow our ship berthing, and then let your guests fishing. I don't care, continue to bask in my hobby!

Afternoon clouds began to spread, Crest begins.

Fishing boats start going to another place to continue fishing. A long line to catch a big fish in truth I finally see!, lifting away a large tuna fish up! big chicken wings tell big bread, tuna fish with individual named ' blood fish ', flotilla, poor tuna fish who are blood red blood. Crew happy, big chicken wings become full fishing champion, I think they must have fallen in love with big chicken wings — rewarding good today, many thousands of BALH!

Since Germany Dad heard hanging to the big tuna fish, excited too long jump up immediately in the first prize, I finally realized the original human DNA evolution without degradation of hair because hair can protect head wind waves play!, it was also hit the parent header to see a doctor, so we headed home.

Back to BURI TARA, to put your luggage on the bus, playing a large chicken wings at this point, all of a sudden crisis management skill intuition to another Street looking for a hotel. Should we found another hotel, 900 balh not package early, have bath room clean chic! the hotel have a quite good English and look lovely hostess, always ask our nationality. Large bread from the beginning been mistaken is Korea or Japan, to now has been suspected of Thailand.

Are you Thai? Good but do not want to explain, I decided to admit I am Thai.

Night to eat a bit of 55BALH BBQ sandwich buffet, eat good very good big bar correspond to a ham and a lot a lot of meat.

The hotel can free wireless Internet access, large chicken wings very satisfied by soaking in hot water bath, Internet access, I just bought the road much only coprinus cooked with hot water bottles, big bread screaming very fragrant chicken flavor, has been up to PHUKET again along the back and buy a bunch of eating.

Dec 27

The next day I bought 6 had to big mango, only 20 RMB, Super fresh delicious wow.

Check out after departure back to PHUKET, found along a super big TESCO LOTUS, bought some hand letter. Big chicken wings suddenly cry, Durian Durian stalls!!! several stalls on the outside corner of TESCO! big chicken wings and Durian has not cut out for love, pick up the nose with a Durian to smell. 200balh three only durian, immediately open a drove all the way to eat, big chicken wings suck at sticky fingers full of Durian meat, eat great bread is responsible for the feed. The road has seen a lot of chicken stalls suspected big chicken wings are the lure of coprinus aromas, and finally bought a car and eat chicken, chicken tender with a single easy to separation, the first time I feel that the original chicken breast meat is so delicate and delicious has always kept well afterward! GreekLooking to buy and eat a chicken in AO NANG, only out to PHUKET on the way to see the chicken, then always see.

Back to PHUKET, intends to find hotel KAMMILA Beach, distance from the airport.

We actually already have basically put a circle around PHUKET, but without walking through the airport to the South of the region. Has NOKIA MAP in hand, Sun still goes down, we continue the adventure. Original here a LAGUNA RESORT, but it seems here that the entire Beach Coast area is its farms, like a town so great feeling! we immediately turn out of LAGUNA area, continue to the South, along the road to see a lot of HOUSE FOR RENT, and basic are private property, free into the written part. Quiet footpaths, multicolored rental housing, Sun, sea breeze, beautiful and mysterious small town.

Continue to the South, enter KAMMILA BEACH area.

Big chicken wings always has a strange instinct, see roadside signs with room for rent, there is a big sign that says COURTYARD MARRIOTT, then drive straight into the narrow self-interest, found a COURTYARD on immediately, the room of the hotel was very tasteful decorations, large bread good like love. Landlord said political reasons, now doing business is difficult, a price for one night! 1000balh large bread are cheering up ~ ~

The hotel is next to the beach, very few tourists KAMMILA BEACH is believed to be affected by the recent ' letter airport ' event.

Sand filled beach chairs, you can imagine usually quite hilarious spectacle, but also realize at the time of the dreadful TSUNAMI, a wave to engulf the beach in the Sun, the nature of the visitors is very beautiful and also has a terrible power.

The first large bread with big chicken wings around the beach and enjoy the sunset in the evening, the waves on the shore, not willing to PHUKET is don't big chicken wings, the next day is going to fly to Bangkok.

Thailand kids playing soccer, let the big chicken wings good technical itch, a kick to fly football great chicken wings fast ran the ball to play back. Say a feeling, not willing to.

In the evening to a large shopping mall PADONG buy cosmetics, and then hid in the car to eat durian, two large impervious to kids.

Dec 28

Woke up to the beach to meet the rising sun, continue to eat a third Durian.

Durian eat much, in the sea, next to eat durian is the first time.

To the airport, the AIRPORT has also CARRENT car had money to rent 6 half days, the largest total 6500balh chicken wings to fly, big bread because China Southern flight delayed a day, forced to stay one night in Bangkok.

Probably God watch over large bread, while on the way of life is not cooked, take the AIR ASIA flights of inland to Thailand when I ran into a human engineering structure engineer, a weekly round trips PHUKET and BANGKOK, he helped me contact me before you find the hotel on the Internet, called the TAXI sent me half chenglu. He explains that in the ARRIVAL flight of export pending the TAXI back to extra 50balh, and then he took me upstairs to DEPARTURE export cut taxi, are not as METER billing.

The ALL SEASONS, it is next to a shopping center, room although relatively small, but the bed is a real monster! compare similar business hotel, a desk and stationery, etc.

Hotel Grand Palace reception introduces the visitors to the place, the shopping of course to SIEM! decided on the second day, half day time to look at, is the one-day tour in Guangzhou.

Evening stroll around the SHOPPING MALL next to, more like Guangzhou post top shopping centre, a beauty centre, many people, I decided to try Thailand human beauty.

300BALH, concluded that their lack of Guangzhou professional beauty industry, manipulation and uncomfortable and rude, and even in my dry skin sprinkle talcum powder BB. Or back to the hotel's own dressing mask.

Still sorry did not call the family safe, then go home to know parents worried about me, father or even a sleepless nights.

Guilt is still, at that time was always disturbing, but due to Bangkok to play super expensive long distance, so for a while. Alas, no matter how you decide the next time you have to call.

Dec 29

Early in the packed luggage, estimated at 2 points may not be able to back to the hotel, and early check out checkout, luggage in the hotel front desk.

The second day of the desk clerk was informed I was ready to go to the GRAND PALACE, gave me a lot of TIPS, tell me the Bangkok traffic, it is best to sit boat! my ignorance, to know the original Bangkok have inland river, extending in all directions, have specialized vessels, each with a few hundred metres in Pier dock. Thus, the venture myself.

Bangkok boat traffic fast, in fact, the River width probably similar to Guangzhou's smelly river, Guangzhou's smelly river can treatment properly, in theory, should be able to develop river traffic, relieve increasingly clogging of Guangzhou traffic.

The language barrier, pls? I had coins pulled out, let the ticketing personnel on your own, then put the tickets to my hand.

Good cheap, only 16 blocks, Midway also like Metro transit point, need to go. Half an hour near the GRAND PALACE, followed by another on the same is also the PALACE of the Netherlands to share a TUKTUK lovers. The Royal Palace, the ticket is Thailand have 300balh, free channel. I bought tickets to regret that I followed people in Thailand should also be recognized. Because I wear suspenders skirt, was told to go to the locker room before entering through clothes. Borrow dress is free, but have to pay a deposit, refunded clothes 100balhWhen you return.

The day is a Monday, a teacher with students, visiting the Royal Palace.

Palace occupies a vast, magnificent Buddhist temples, is expected. There is also a historical reference room, Palace of the extensive refurbishment of a building than the temple statues are also large, shot with stunning solemn jinhui.

Plan the next station is going to tourists to SIEM.

Eleven out of the Palace was a local outlet, OC, to fool my TUKTUK ride with my tour gardens, that is the last station to SIEM. But the tour a few ' Garden ' TUKTUK drivers still after refusing to take me to SIEM, I strongly urge to SIEM because I would like to return to the hotel baggage, off to the airport on the evening of 6 points. TUKTUK drivers later probably can't I constantly barking, half-way stop a Taxi for me, the language barrier I have felt very helpless and regret, no NOKIA MAP, looking at the map did not know that they were exploited and sold.

The first TAXI driver how dare offer 780BALH to SIEM, I was scared fast Halo, jumping out at once.

Being anxious, very lucky to have a good security, although it does not speak English but proactively help me pick another TAXI, help me good price with the destination. Then I finally learned to Bangkok traffic, TAXI driving speed is probably better than Guangzhou bus also slow. I decided to walk off the car they found a souvenir shop to buy silk can exchange currency and exchange rate is 1: 5. other Exchange Center are very low, about 1: 4.13, instead I Guangzhou exchange of u.s. dollars take over against the BALH also compare worth it. Think future trip or in Guangzhou Exchange dollars more economically viable.

Sun walk is also not too much to enjoy, but I found there are BOAT STATION.

You finally can get rid of the developed TAXI doom, decided to give up SIEM, directly in the vicinity of large SHOPPING MALL after you go shopping.

Because of the mood to relax, funds are not sufficient, so only raked a pair of earrings.

Bent or stay some ammunition to kill time at Bangkok airport.

As the boat did not stop (reported about I do not understand), so I'm late to a station of disembarkation.

Asked people walking, some say the left to go, some say right away. My God how this world so much that I was terrible at finding directions? there are in the mood to buy a T-SHIRT, stopped by to ask how to get back to the shop hotel. Oh originally booked at the front!, 3 points back to the hotel already, remove the baggage, changing set of thick clothes, going back to Guangzhou, listening, and cooling.

RADIO TAXI to the hotel charges 20BALH, no problem, call the hotel TAXI should not be deceptive.

So have a nice trip arrived in Bangkok airport.

The new Bangkok airport is probably the only cause I rarely shopping lust.

I have to return until boarding the final 10 minutes away by SCAN my luggage, but this time the Lady in charge of SCAN very stringent, ordered me to put all the package opens, repacking my many small bottle small tank, then SCAN. I call my flight fly, he refused to let me go.

Finally, concluded the Bangkok panic and adventure day.

Amitabha!

Something I must say, China Southern Airlines stewardess too fierce, takes passengers to her glass of water, she picked up, saying bluntly! "to" a pair of impatience.

I read all dislike, good cattle stewardess.

Gracias!

The general feeling that good risk, but Bangkok PHUKET fun! be sure to play, in fact, the large car hire chicken wings then lookup the relevant information, found that there is a lot of interesting places worth.

Although not fully prepared for the journey, but on the road constantly discover fun and new things, let it be his music is also infinite.
