Go to universal, Pulau's first day

October 28, I seem to have returned to his student days, 5 am to get up.

Because Thailand wind Orchid Travel flight is early to late back, so I had and the cock who got up early in the game. Call, I called on rental took two friends go straight to the airport. Although the flight is 8: 40, but when we get to the airport 6 point 40, the registration of the team have already picked a long. Thanks to friends, or to late, do not know how long the team to.

8: 40 flights last 9: 10 takes off, we sat in the Thai Airways aircraft, to feel normal.

Min 4 hours 35 minutes, our Beijing time 1: arrived at Bangkok (12: 45 local time, the slower than Beijing time 1 hour) in Bangkok airport we waited 2 hours 45 minutes, to the local time 3: 30 pm flight to a beautiful popular island. (Suggest to you will not transfer, it is best to do direct aircraft arrived from Shanghai universal international airport. Intermediate time can save a lot. ) 5: 45 we were popular.

Our free line is Orchid, including a flight + accommodation (BBF) + Airport transfer, when we arrived at the airport, then we went to the hotel by car is already waiting outside the airport.

We are not familiar with the local Exchange, and think it's important to hotel check-in then go to the Mall, so only Exchange at the airport for 10 dollars, want to change point change can give drivers a tip because I heard that escort services are going to give a tip (20 Yuan/times), but had found that EXCHANGE has several different exchange rate, ask the original case is like this: the exchange rate and you exchange of leaflets is proportional to the currency, for example: a $ can 1: 41 baht maximum Exchange (convertible 4100 baht), if you give him two tickets to 50, the exchange rate of 1: 40, if you give him less than 50 par, the exchange rate of 1: 39 (only convertible 3 900 baht)---same is 100 USD, but because a different face, into a short 250 baht, which some money in Thailand a person eating a meal or two, it is recommended that everyone in the country with dollars go to big par, never reported, baht worthless, small face is sufficient, I have experience, I am also especially miss being in the Bank of China to his eyes, a few hundred dollars that went into the little face, but is the cleverness is clever. ）

We live in a hotel in PATONG BEACH is AMARI, away from the popular airport about 1 hour journey further.

6: 45 or so we got to the hotel. Surprise Hotel then. (In fact, this is the first impression, then stay in popularity, we know that where 4-5 star hotel are all very spiritual, the difference is not very clear, it is recommended that you live near the beach side of the hotel, go out and walk to the Mall, so travel more convenient, our hotel and back between the mountains and the sea, there are scenic world-class, hotel's own beach, but in the very remote PANTONG, out shopping must travel on foot. ）

The hotel's decor is open, less traditional hotel closed due to open the lobby, lobby and restaurant have air conditioning, and a lot of retro-ceiling fans there's a few places that don't have a turn.

CHECK-IN, RECEPTION was also ESCORT TO RM, visible Hotel do team business, otherwise you don't favor dead or fit only such treatment, since the opening is good, feeling very cordial. The hotel's WELCOME DRINK is also good to drink, is freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

Because it is the night to see what beauty, but the room was full of special is the large sliding floor, door is a balcony on which put two armchairs and a small round, enough to remind me of the story, the flowers of the waves so heart or excitement.

My room is 5101, swimming pool, swimming pool in the outside is a little bar, bar outside is the sea, this House is not my best, because it is not up to the outside a building, directly beside the sea seaview room. Although my room can also be seen in the middle of the sea, but also across the way, so is the feeling of sorts. There is room is traditional old-fashioned, is key to the brand, not modern VINGCARD, Halo ~ ~ ~ although key brand exquisitely, but always feel inconvenient. Second floor room with room card, envious of ing. In addition the same old, room safe, actually is to go to the key to the foreground, not electronic locks the faint ~ ~ it seems on the first floor of the room and not the second floor. We requested for a room, but it was to tourist season, had to go two geniuses have better sea view room, after a two-day who also welcomed the move, it makes no difference in the room, moved to move to it, but to do this.

Put things slightly adjusted, we set out to accomplish three tasks in the city centre, the top priority---dinner!!! the fine tradition of our people---"food is (in fact, local time is 8: 00 Beijing time, can not hungry?) we sit on the Internet long heard that the TUKTUK, red small motorcycles.

You can offer online said to 80 baht, but we do offer he refused, and he's asking price is 200, we say 80, last for himself down to 150, we insist on 80, he refused, and finally to 100 transactions. Cars also full spacious, our six people sit in it is empty, you can then sit two people. 5 minutes of effort, we got to the city centre, the hotel is close to the city centre or simply walk so you can really do not close it, because it has a slope of the mountain. We at OCEAN PLAZA entrance of the car, and then start looking for a place to eat, due to the hungry, but there is no certainty of hotels to be found, so feel free to find a home, ate it, things are good, but not great. The second task is to provide next day PP Island day trip, be sure to shop around, there are travel agencies, to ask a few, but in a travel agency, you must alsoAsk for several different companies price (because the yachts are different companies, so the price will be different. We finally to 7000) baht/6 of the price, the WEST COAST DIVERS company tour (18 boat stop five locations snorkeling + swimming, pack a lunch and drink fruit snacks) the third task is to shop, we want to buy sunscreen/slippers/drinks/snacks and other items, because there's a big 1/Qu into SE/7-ELEVEN supermarket, is very convenient. So a sunscreen and SUNTANNING of oil do not have to back in the past, there is much better than Shanghai cheap supermarket. For example, niweiya SPF50 of sunscreen whenever 265B (this is the BIG 1 supermarket price, amounting to $ 53, I go through market research, found that the price of flexor% cheaper, as long as 235B, amounting to $ 47). After a crazy to buy, we are all tired and pulled up, everyone on the roadside stalls to eat a bunch of roasted corn, I feel bad taste bad, other people actually say delicious, Halo ~ ~ ~

We do a Tod went back to the hotel.

It looked a bit, I found a feature that Thailand's national flower is Yang LAN, so there is this flower, every corner of the hotel are planted with nice Yang LAN, the room of the nightstand, desk, bathroom has a flower fresh Yang LAN do dot, is a beautiful stage, there were wafting odor in the room. The sweet smell, I gone to sleep. （TO BE CONTINUED... ）
