Marisol Phuket

Recent political instability in Thailand, in Phuket are no feeling, of course, visitors are less, but the Sun is shining, seawater or transparent clear, European tourists naked in the Sun, Zhang Ziyi that group photo can be seen here.

Phuket is an island, Samui, is said to have been mostly entire Singapore so big, I almost feel and Guangzhou, therefore, want to walk almost impossible, unless you put your activities to a certain limit beach area.

Traffic

To Phuket's most convenient of course is the plane, Shanghai, Guangzhou have direct flights, most recently as canceled, Hong Kong is always there, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur.

From China, you can turn in Bangkok, very convenient, frequency. Today many people know Asia aviation, indeed very cheap, I have friends in advance of the booking, the cost is around Macau and Bangkok. Asia in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Macau has route backpackers is you can consider. If you do loose some words, Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Dragonair is optional.

Another method is to save money in Bangkok Khao Hill Road, take the bus, but in Thailand which public transport is not reliable, I have a friend sold four down to Phuket, toss all night, actually, the whole up to a maximum of 8 hours, and Guangzhou to Yangshuo.

Thailand driver English isn't very good, still a little risk on the way, I personally feel that it is not worth it.

The airport is located in the North of the island, to which attractions are a little distance.

At the airport, the best there is, of course, hotels, cars then can take airport bus to Phuket Town, about 300 lines/person, not cheap, because to Phuket Town also need to change trains, so might as well take a taxi. Remember not to get personal, regular taxi to Alba East and southern kata or most long (chalong) or the foreigner (Rawai) is about 600 strains, good price.

If you leave a slightly longer, the island car rental or worthwhile, so that you can go to the place.

Motorcycle about 300 lines a day (foreigners like), the car approximately 1200-1500 lines a day, if several friends sharing, still very worth it.

Beach

Phuket beaches very much, from South to North, if you are free to explore and find a lot of people very few beaches.

General visitors are mostly only know that the Ging East (Patong), the area is covered with many people, the beach is not the best, the nightlife is very rich, erosion has a large shopping mall, but things are relatively expensive, typically to a lot of old donkey are reluctant to go there. I personally think that it is better to live in karon beach, kata or pumping night went to Alba East, especially if you want to see the Goblin performances.

Kata Beach is located in the South of Phuket Island, in each of November to April, the sea is crystal clear, Emerald and standards like mirror.

After the season, from May to October, the waves arise, in particular to the July and August, there are a lot of surfing.

Last year I bought a block of windsurfing board, also joined the ranks.

Of course we are not professional, stand up, so you want to buy the body called "surfing" plate, lie on the line above. Focus on big wave came to ready, the crest of the moment of arrival, jump on a windsurfing board, stomach head do not straighten tilted, and the entire human body and the Board is incorporated, the big wave a push, and you will be like the fish generally have slides to the sandy coast, a few hundred meters are not the slightest effort, like flying, that was quick, didn't try very hard to imagine. Kids and even more than adults, last year I and Chin Shuo rushed, after a while, he became a small expert, fork with waist there was guiding me. The surf or the best way to lose weight, even ran a few days, the stomach is obviously thin down.

Kata is also a lot of tourists, and American visitors more, many people are just a few weeks, here shop restaurants are springing up, but compared to Alba East, quiet, also has a rural feel.

Kata not far away there is also a karon beach, the coastline is very long, quiet and beautiful, slightly unfortunately very few of the trees on the shore, a little bald bald feel, but also is another bleak, as if the day special, are particularly small.

Farther in Kamala Beach, where there is a little like a Valley, from the road down to the beach to walk a long down mountain trails, very steep.

I've seen, felt a little paradise of sensations, but P and I said that he felt bad gas field here, don't like, so we gave up.

In Kata Beach if you play with tired, you can take the ferry to go to a man named Louis (Rui) Beach, there is one, if you go from the land, to drive motorcycles, mountain road is very difficult to walk, like cross-country General, Phuket is not cooked people basically do not know.

By boat from Kata is a good choice, where special quiet, only a small shop selling drinks and food, lying on the beach, the Sun is straight Sun, forgotten world.

To Phuket people generally go Phiphi Islands, I feel that there is indeed worth a go.

The easiest way is to find a travel agent to buy 1-day tour, travel service will pick you up in the morning to the Terminal, and then by boat, usually a few time, let you play with snorkeling or swimming, PhiPhi Islands nearby seawater is extremely clear, is a good place for snorkeling. Also have to account for, Pong, the sea is called pengya vicinity (Patten), where the Hill, a little taste of Yangshuo, but because it stands in the sea, is especially fantasy. Cruise will take you to drill holes in the rock, make your own canoeing, into the hole, but feel cool and chill, green and faint deep, definitely did not expect this with the sea.

This island tours in Phuket is very mature, basically similar arrangements, pack a lunch, 2 snorkeling, several islands.

If you want to live in phiphi Islands, you can directly go to Phuket Town by boat, where sailing past. Phiphi Islands is very small, very many tourists during the day, the participants, but at night it is a quiet, serene, leaving only the sound of the sea.

Diving

Phuket course is also a good place for diving.

Many diving shopThe beginners can find casual, focusing on the language you want to be able to communicate well, everyone was hard. Can be found at Alba East speak Chinese diving shop easier. If speaks good English, and the diving is really interested in is very big, I thought it was worth the try Liveaboard this game. Liveaboard Chinese transliteration is live on the deck, the diving in Europe and America prevails. They make good trip early, 7 days on board, every day in different points of diving, most live on board the ship with a good cook, every refurbished tastes, often having a party, sometimes also in a small island in the camp, very interested. I invited some friends to go, but most people are right on the Sea-7 days to at first, I think this is a concept. I started it was afraid of the Sun, black does not look good, but always encouraged me to P, tanning better looking, Freckle or don't be afraid, he likes. I was not that he said so, but gradually felt the Sun is part of nature, we shouldn't be too good to resist, sunscreen lotion, not to hurt and leather.

Activities

In addition to the Phuket marine sports, fun place there are many more.

Riding the elephant is worth a try. Here are a half days of riding an elephant, a morning mountain, in the jungle ride an elephant at the sea, people suddenly sit in such high animals that carry hard hair within reach, I feel quite unreal. Riding up like a baby elephant will be arranged to see performances, those little elephant hears the song dance, twisting the crazy enough to make you laugh foot 10 minutes, the children will especially happy. Read like monkeys, riding a Buffalo, finally also will explain how to cut rubber, coconut, how to make Curry. The Curry, fresh ready mix rice make you taste, it was near noon, hunger, intestinal started rumbling tasting is really a scrumptious. Play this trip, and the local Thai people will unconsciously much some closeness.

In addition, there are mountains, adventure activities, torrent, off-road Kart surfing, play in the mountains, are a bit over slings, if long enough, static and dynamic, this also zhongsi can spend their day.

Last year completed big buddha (Buddha) should go to see.

Giant Buddha located in kata, chalong and rawai junction with the mountain, in the South of the island, almost looked up to see the great Buddha, white quietly sitting, Grand Po phase. Go to the Buddhist mountain road is very quiet and comfortable, the way, a scenic little hotel, stopped to drink a coconut green overlooking karon beach, far away, can not tell sea glistening days.

Phuket Town is a must-see, there was our Chinese sculpture of old days.

It is said that 200 years ago Phuket also almost is a desert island, only a few fishermen lived. Then discovered Tin, Chinese people would come, tin ore, and built the Phuket Town. Still later, Portugal people from the town there are many famous buildings. In General, Phuket's most popular buildings or shop house, facade is very narrow, which deeply Shen, into another. From Guangzhou people cannot help but smile, the ocean, but here also see Xiguan-like House. In the Centre of the town wander, found many House door with trip trembles in the full text on, each family has in God. Time suddenly here solidification, the flow away half a century of old days, before suddenly poured back. October is the famous "Phuket vegetarian Festival", where the worship is "the great" King of nine, I wondered for a half day or that is holy, Phuket Chinese inside many descendants of Fujian, the estimate is southern customs.

Every vegetarian Festival, Carnival, Phuket comprehensive than water stanza is especially in April.

The street filled for vegetarian booth, then a few days we all vegetarians, dressed in white. Phuket Town is a lot of celebrations, all the cars cannot enter, various floats parades, was also thickets in face punctures, that is not pain, sounds like some God. Visitors will then open up horizons, only hate parents sang little eyes. Last year I and a Thailand kids dinner, vegetarian Festival, she was only 7 years old, was also very precepts, from beginning to end, only eat vegetarian, I am deeply moved.

Eat

Phuket, but play is also a good place to eat.

Thai dishes here, very cheap, if you are not afraid of dirty, street stalls of fried rice flour is very delicious. I love patthai (shoot-Thai), wide rice noodles with shrimp, pork or pork and beef fried, I do not know what flavouring has been added, the delicious sweet and spicy when, in association with raw bean sprouts, bean sprout tingle of rice flour and, with extremely refreshing and chew. I have time to eat in San Francisco, actually shoot 30 dollars a plate, tongue, but here probably 50-100 lines, it is worth it. However, for many, but not so hungry, watch carefully, think Thai seasoning too much, in fact, not very healthy, and street stalls of the health situation is worrisome.

Or should go to a slightly better place to eat Thai food.

A friend recommended a few, we tasted them one by one, really good. A central in Phuket Town, away from the bus stop is very near the fountain, the name is Natural. The decoration is very interesting, a bamboo floor, stairs twists and turns, fishbowl is an old TV set, computer case, the table is a sewing machine, a small surprise. A lot of dishes to choose, is not expensive, almost Thai encyclopedia.

In addition, chalong (long) to The pier of the seaside is also very good, large trees, breezy, not far away is the long stretching into the sea of the embankment.

Restaurant waiter was very polite, English speaking quite well. Here is the most delicious shrimp with lemon juice, fruit, a little garlic, soft cotton rich, tasty exception. Raw oysters and steamed fish are very positive, I ate the favorite restaurant.

In kata and karon beach and many seafood restaurants, pick one more go wrong, the prices are very reasonable, lobster.

It is worth mentioning there are foreigners (Rawai) beach of finger, located in the seaside, you can shop at sea to eat, or you can just sit on the beach, of course there are cushions, arrangements for small shops, low tables, is on the candle I saw the most simple candlelight seafood dinner, dir is not bad. It is said that the foreigner (Rawai) is caught by fishing vessels on the go, every afternoon, manySeafood to do this, here there are seafood market, similar to Guangzhou yellow sand, you can now buy to let the hotel restaurant.

In addition to the Thai dish that I was here the accident very authentic, pour in Italy.

Many European beauty sleep life stress, always want to find retirement, Phuket became the people of paradise.

This pleasant, warm year round, sooner or later they are cool, cheap prices, the locals are very friendly, even if the pension in their very meagre, where you are able. Therefore, here live long-term retirement or retirement increases every year. Therefore, attracted many high man restaurant.

The most worthy of recommendation is of course the capannina kata district, boss Mario is authentic Italy, it is said that he didn't every early days were deployed to market light pick fresh fruit to personally check class.

Italian cuisine is focusing on authentic, intended for France not too cold dishes, mainly that dish is too saucy (sauce conceals the original). Italy in domestic eat dishes, authentic little, estimation and raw materials also have a relationship. Phuket sea, seafood, nature is the best, here are also imported, so food quality developed was the exception.

Appetizer is a lot of good choices that Italian raw beef or sashimi (Capacio), equipped with rocket salad, add a little lemon juice, tasty exception.

Melon Phra Maha ham is the best, here the Phra Maha ham is shops in the whole of the ham cut of the now, very fresh, and supermarket-bought FABI. There are a variety of salads, which I like best is rocket with Parmesan Ma Su lira, together with ham, cheese, soft flavour, slippery, ham salad with natural taste, eat with olive oil before the recall and salt.

Pizza is here most popular food, dinner time, just after seeing the Diners delicious pizza point, you probably walk.

True pizza hut pizza and Italy have a world of difference between the upper end of the do is different. Mario also has a business is to help people build pizza oven, to an Italy restaurant just to see if there's a special pizza oven, you already know where the products. It is said that only bake in oven for pizza is only possible in soft, brittle, know that the person will also eat according to their own preferences with pizza above fillings.

Spaghetti with variety, last year I was in Italy, go shopping at the narrow, wide, round and flat, a variety of shapes, are more than 100 species.

A good hunch best identy (playing the teeth), the time to grasp the excellently really poor for one minute. The products from Capanina errors, especially seafood spaghetti, I do not know their zhuyi powder is what consomme, each is aroma, set a Cantonese, is eaten up trying.

There are good Italy restaurant Phuket Town Salvator, town of the famous restaurant "the old place in" the opposite; there are foreigners (Rawai) beach of M & M, boss are all authentic Italy, produces are very standard.

Live

Talk so much, it was said of Phuket.

Talk live, here is the choice of different price points, there are many luxury five star hotel, a small and pleasant guest house. High season time remember the first booking. In recent years more fashionable is to rent the apartment, such as the kata of sea view apartment, two bedroom and one living room, all devices are complete, hop around RMB 800/day, if a size or a few friends, it is cheaper to rent the apartment. Like Europe and tourists, to compare the length of time, you can also rent, apartment regardless of how many people live, most of the freedom of nature.

I see on the island, a Chinese-language services in the past, the other was Mandarin Cantonese is able to speak, in advance of the requirements to rent a house or booking travel can be convenient, but rare.
