Journey to Phuket, Bangkok--1 (free line. Many useful experience to prepare to go mix)

This is the honeymoon trip, plan to find a place where the weather is good to play, had intended to Saipan, results found for visas quite troublesome, but one must also put tens of thousands of deposit in the travel agency, United States it is discrimination we Yankees, TMD, not to go to go to Phuket.

A few days before departure, from online to find a lot of other people's travel notes, and edit print into a book, for busy office marriage, not too much time watching, keep on the good. This allows travel agency Office of visa ($ 250) and e-ticket, the ticket is a ticket to the airline, Thai Airways HongKong-Phuket-Bangkok-HongKong, 3-course total $ 3015 element, do not pay any additional fees, however in Bangkok at the time of departure, have to pay airport tax 500B. Electronic ticket is good, print out a sheet of A4 paper tape it in the top flight information, but is lost it, remember it, check in times names and passport, all relevant information at the time of purchase has been recorded in the Thai database. Information at any time you can call the call ahead of time, you can also change the return time (when you have decided to buy, but you can change the date, the ticket is valid within 21 days, so enjoy your stay in Phuket, look at their own time and money), domestic travel of people told us that to Phuket and Thai Airways confirm departure flight, but went to ask the local sale of air tickets, say no, if not change date on time to the airport. If English is not enough, you can hit Thai Airways offices in Hong Kong.

Get a visa to go after the rows in the changed baht, probably 1: 4.97, Thailand discovery RMB being bullied, only around 1: 4.05 (in patong streets, other places are too lazy to read, change, change of cash with them, are 1000 denominations, none more thick tens.

A credit card you can withdraw cash reserve, with fees, so minimizing, Bangkok Bank is supporting the Cup card, other banks do not know, but see UnionPay signs pitiful, Bangkok Bank may not necessarily be attached to the indications), other currencies are so low. I put the row in Thai baht and the number of years, the Thailand found that 2 million is the old version, I have trouble, many people get are questioned, although eventually spend. So in the exchanger, so if it is new, is the currency on a silver line, the old version, but not more than a new version of the paper. Also online for 15 days late in Phuket Patong Beach by a hotel, for the first day, or determine the better, later discovered that didn't need to, because there are overwhelming, the hotel can be found (unless you specifically want, such as Christmas and so have booked). I am in the above clauses, http://www.hotelthailand.cn/because the beach hotels are more expensive, they recommend is located in the second road of Aloha Villa, amounting to 392 (1: 5-count), then a night anyway, payment for a double.

January 14-15 may:

14 January to Shenzhen lived one night, because the aircraft was 15, 11: 05, so I have to go ahead, Shantou, Shenzhen ride will have approximately 4 hours.

15 in the morning to go to cross the border, so good. After clearance to Octopus put up some money and sit in Hong Kong and Kowloon Railway, the first station of (water), get off at the door, out of the station, the door is going to the airport by bus (A42) station, the Octopus is HK $ 28 $, no Octopus have to prepare for change. 1 an hour or so got to the airport, the airport is really big. To change the registration plates, 9: 25, even the gate haven't set out, it seems that do so early to the airport, just a little of our own care. Go shopping at the airport, see sell Kodak waterproof camera, HK $ 63, because to see other people's travel notes that there is a $ 49, it didn't buy (buy it, if not earlier, then be sure to buy, not the price), with later regret. 11: 05 Thai Airways aircraft on-time takeoff, A330, really nice crew service attitude is quite good, the computer soon sent blankets, headphones. Then start in English, of course not too complex, say someone can understand it better, we are not anyhow, nobody will laugh at anyone. Around 12: 00 eat lunch, and rice and Noodle, Thai food, but also good. Film isn't interested in looking, quickly takes a look at what others write travels, see important immediately marked with a pen.

Flight 3 more hours to Phuket, adjust my watch 1 hour behind.

In the airport of toilet in the clothes for a short-sleeved t-shirt, air-conditioning is also quite cold, but landing can already feel the outside temperature. Out of the airport, see many a brand of people in the pick-up services. Turned, it is the airport staff come and ask live? that can call Taxi, 500B, Mini Bus is 150B per person, but also direct to hotel. Customary bargain 350B call taxi, found that no one is willing. Later want to simply sit on the bus, buy a ticket, Cou enough 8 they drive a car, sitting, etc. Find tickets for how much money is printed, it should be can't bargain. Wait 10 minutes, sufficiently, they call on the bus, Mini Bus found inside the environment is good, than our taxi is also clean. So my friends go, people to call taxi cost, few sitting Mini Bus, no bargain. Along the way, the curiosity of the tropical atmosphere on the island, also in a travel agent point stop parking, rest for 5 minutes, should be the drivers want to get some kickbacks. A woman came towards me, mouth, Lady boy, does not look good, it is estimated that the transformation fails, or you will not be in the mix. Ask us for the hotel did not, and tourism projects. My wife has her good spoken in conversation, asked a fewA network convincing hotels, such as the Holiday INN PP, he found an old half-days. See some of the same car also didn't make any business with them, well, go. Thailand were quite friendly, does not result in business and attitude change. From the airport of departure of almost 1 hour, and finally to a live Aloha Villa, took out the order form to print good to them, quickly check in, ask how much money they live, that is, after 17 2300B is 1800B (Oh, and even catch up with the season's end, also good in the Internet instead of cheaper 1960B), go back to the boy 20B (in the airport took 200 Yuan into 20 denominations). Careful observation room and found no online photos are beautiful, it is estimated that lasted several years, the photo is just opened when pictures of it, so make room on the Internet cons here, do not see the actual situation. Fortunately, still very hygienic, anyway, is the only change tomorrow. Wife sleepy to sleep for a while, I was reading other people's travels, Oh, and did not want her to go back to writing.

5 points more than his wife woke up, go out and look around.

Take out the newly bought beach shoes, to Patong Beach walk. Live at the Second road, so we have to walk a few minutes to Patong Beach, the feeling, the hotel houses are rather old, may be developed for a long time, do not see what last year's tsunami left traces here. Every bar, very distinctive, took two phase. No one will speak to the Patong Beach Schweitzer. The fame of the run to the beach looked dumbfounded, original, Thailand sea in this way, God, spent so much money on this, as we do not have sea of Shantou as? the water too not how. And his wife miserable, I also said that those who write travels were from the North or inland, didn't see the Harbour? took some picture went to the beach of the West, backlight, not good at this time. In the street beside the sea, see hit, with Watson's go to see, discover everything not expensive in General, what shampoo are cheaper than the US, it seems there's no need to bring this thing. After a lot of seafood stalls, interest is very high, at prices that are more expensive than the Shantou, lobster is 2200-2800B/kg, converted to 200 Yuan, our restaurant only live lobster 180 or so, but here are frozen, cough, see ice for we are not going to eat, how is this here? may write those I saw travels are not those who live by the sea, so we wrote that the seafood is cheap. And in Thailand see lobster BBQ, too much is wasted, or our delicious salted's practices. I and my wife said, come on, come home to eat lobster, now quickly to set PP Island trip, get out of here, PP Islands Sea should not be so dirty.

In the street to see one day tour plus one night hotel, reported 1400B, dared casually, decided to look at a few comparisons.

In an unknown Street (second road) to find a home, about, we would like to participate in 1 days plus one night hotel, in addition to stay one more night (ready for PP holiday inn), she was a book on an old half-days that it can't find (is their agent used in the hotel's yellow pages, estimate the Board looks to give money, most of the hotel, the price is not written in the above). We say swap PP Natural Resort, checked out, reported a total of two people, we cut is 5500B to 4500, fail, first off, go somewhere else to see. In fact, these two hotels are online others lived said yes, but then I found out a lot more new hotels, Internet check in. And do not necessarily have to live in the northern part of PP, the following hotels. Then see a phone booth, think should make a telephone call to the home, just next to the shops to buy a phone card, minimal, the denomination is 200B is a yellow telephone use, Lenso, beginning didn't understand hit, 001 + 86 + 754 * ** * ** *, call 2 minutes took 40B, expensive Ah. After playing and shopkeepers complained too expensive, the shopkeeper asked you what a game originally this card? is there money dial mode, just like our domestic fight IP telephony, 001 + 809 + 86 + 754 * ** * ** *. See note 7B/MIN, but later on in this way I have found is that each buckle 10B also cheap half, they didn't go to research what they charge. Got off the phone back to find a place to eat, didn't want to have just the acting owner doesn't allow himself up, said OK, 4600 is also too lazy to look for, because belly tummies, she said that for now. Unfortunately, her shop a call on the day of the hotel is full, a was acquired. No way, we say that come again tomorrow morning.

And his wife went back on at the second road, found a very lively Patong streets, bars, hotels are many, is a good place for tourism, otherwise how do you attract so many Westerners.

Find a home environment is quite good hotel for dinner, watch it one more, it is estimated that well. Looked at the menu, a lot of dishes can not read it. Oh, fried rice noodle steak is what make sense, called a fish, asked the waiter is how practice?, it seems that Cook BBQ relatively easy. A refreshingly soup (just come taste, although in the country of Thailand restaurant early awareness). There are seafood, quite normal, since I now can't remember what you're going to get. Mineral water to sell 30B, I own the stores shop to buy Pepsi 20B a bottle, plastic bottles, the price is only slightly more expensive than domestic. Fish should be baked sea bass, is still relatively quite fragrant, the soup tastes Chili,. This took 300B, haven't eaten since ready to eat while walking around. Don't leave stomach filled, one will see better couldn't eat. On the street with my wife bought a salon, see someone wrote an article 100B, so take this as standard bargain find many shops that areRefused to sell is so low, at least to 200B, last in the roadside stalls to 100B a deal, but it should look at the materials, I estimated the 100B is the cheapest kind, but what's also colour pattern. The next few days the salon or play an important role. In the street stalls also ate like we Shantou snacks – Oyster pancake, but found that it's not the oysters, mussels, with mussels meat and eggs to shear, also a bit mung bean sprouts, served in a dish born with bean sprouts and chives (this is not in the habit of eating, not moving it), there are two glasses of ice, you can pour a drink of water (table on a pot of water, but look at the pots of health status, do not dare to drink). 40B, street side of things, the price is not cheap, it is a tourist area. To hear my wife company Hong Kong Office colleagues said that in Thailand to eat not to eat for health, K and M, we didn't so much cleavage, see health are unacceptable can attempt proved no problem, there may be a comparison among the people of Hong Kong, afraid of this man. Green is the way of coconut, also find home 20B fruit shop, there are basic are Shantou, prices are also more expensive, estimation or tourist area of sake, just the kind of red wax of the cheaper than we, but also have to bargain, bought 75B, it seems to be more specific 1 shijin, forgot, very sweet, refreshing, should be given the effect of sunlight for a long time. Later, in Bangkok buy cheapest is 20B/kg, it's cheap, this time in Thailand to eat as much fruit is this.
