Daily wage laborer with kids tour Phuket's preparatory papers

Know Phuket is in 1994 first went to Thailand travel, Pataya play, tour guide told me that Thailand's most beautiful sea in Phuket, then guide it's not so bad, how to cheat all day wondering your money, also occasionally make tour guide to tell you some role does not know everything.

94 years away from Bangkok airport, pick up a copy of Phuket, then know that 007 island.

Phuket became a dream, in my mind.

1999 to marry, to go to Phuket honeymoon, but few travel tours or secretly engaged, we are invited to participate in the CTS, the Hong Kong Phuket Tour Travel Agency informed us tour was less than 8 people, the immigration requirements cannot organize, had to change mission to Bangkok and Pataya, revisit the route 5 years ago.

At that time travel team have been very much like a sinister scam.

2000 first went to Phuket, is the gap in company meetings, only in Phuket for a weekend, the Holiday Inn in Patong for 2 days, just go to the Patong area, but was surprised at the improvement of tourist services in Phuket, back has been remembered where Sun and sea.

In 2001, and his wife finally went to a meeting of Phuket, this is the last time I travel with the group, although with the group more and more like an own kidnapping extortion money to the people of adventure, Phuket or I was extremely impressed with, so when a Christmas we sat in the living room of this year's travel plans, my wife and I highly recommend Phuket tours of plan has been nearly 70 's parents.

A family of five for three generations, from 4 years to 70 years of age, do not rely on travel agents to travel abroad, prior arrangements is important, not like before I went to the United States and Europe, primarily think of where to play, with a Lonely Plant will get.

First, determine the date, we have chosen before the Spring Festival, then find Shanghai Airlines and China Eastern Airlines tickets, only to find all the tickets are in the hands of crimping travel agency, Shanghai Airlines and China Eastern Airlines can only be set to alternate reservation, airline told us usually within 5 days before departure will be organic bit empty out, checked PP Island housing condition and found very tense, if not now, then it is likely to have a room you want, if you set a room, there is no availability at that time, then the Charge No Show the hotel will let us very depressing.

Finally we have a Spring Festival in Shanghai, travel to defer to the end of February, due to the booking of unpleasant experience, as well as a sitting before the red eye flights going to Hainan pain experience, we have to look into Thailand air, direct dial to price is $ 3500 RMB, from Bangkok to turn red eye flights than the nearly $ 1000 expensive, but daily flights, not like red eye flights can be arranged for 4 days, we finally decided to choose Thailand air, it turns out, for with the elderly and children traveling, do not select the red eye flights is absolutely the right decision.

We can find a travel visa, 300 yuan/person, the line is:

February 28, Shanghai-Bangkok-Phuket, Patong

February 29, Phuket-PP, live PP

3/1/08 PP island

March 2, PP to Laguna Phuket, live-

March 3 08 Laguna

March 4, Phuket-Bangkok, Bangkok

March 5, Bangkok-Shanghai

Schedule, pronounce hotel,

The first day of Patong, Patong Merlin Hotel booked, this is the last time I stayed at the Holiday Inn, fancy hotels, there are three huge beautiful babies must like the swimming pool.

By Siam-hotel.com fixed room, $ 93.

After two days of PP Island, set by phuket.com PP leisure Package 2 days, selected at the time to bring on the great reputation of the city of PP Natural Resort. Upgrade to a Deluxe room, four adults and one child with breakfast, lunch and PP, for a total of 435,-baht 17000.

Back from PP Island, we decided to live the Laguna, or from Siam-hotel.com's rooms, a superior room, a Deluxe small suites (Studio) with breakfast are $ 169 and $ 159, some cheaper than phuket.com.

Not sure why the Deluxe sea view room with sea view is absolutely not BangTao PP.

Bangkok transit, considering that it would inevitably have to buy something, decided to stay at the Siam Plaza, this is previous to Bangkok bright place, unlike Papong so confusing, has four large Shopping Mall, the hotel is where some cheaper WTC, we finally chose the Novotel, 61 dollars with breakfast, which is the only choice for the trip of the international hotel chain brand, perennial business travel experience, let me on the same international hotel chain has no interest.

All preparations have been completed, as a preliminary budget, all about us $ 2000 cash, so bring a $ 2500 in cash, the hotel costs have been paid in advance, others are by credit card.

Contact my insurance agent bought friends overseas travel insurance, spent $/5 256, away from home, just in case.

The day before leaving, it started to rain, the weather was cold, I made a telephone call to Pudong airport, parking for the night is $ 50/day, considering that can replace your clothes on the car less luggage, we decided to drive to the airport.

Preparation of everything, the trip is about to begin.
