Phuket 6 days late

Just came back from Phuket, immersed in the holiday happiness.

Hot strike put some experiences record here, hope for the latter some help. (8/14/2006--8/19/2006)

On flight + hotel

Direct flight to Phuket flights a week, only two flights, Monday and Friday.

From Phuket back to Shanghai flights is Saturday and Tuesday. General direct flights more expensive, but the relative effort. Our ticket + VISA is 3600/person.

From PHUKET Airport departure tax, 500B.

(Don't spend a penny to the side no OH ~)

General members will select a hotel in PATONG BEACH, there is a very convenient and exciting.

But the quality and size of the hotel is not able and internally the same level of the hotel. You can choose HOLIDAY INN or NOVOTEL such global chain of hotels. Prices vary.

If you choose to stay in KARON BEACH, you might consider looking at HILTON, from the outside is pretty good, off-season when price is not expensive.

PS: we select travel agency for air tickets (VISA) and rooms, a total of 3600 spent $ + $ 102 (Deluxe Room)/person.

Almost certainly from CTRIP is also on the price is right, but feel more reassured also worry. Never set from flying with the network, the service quality is very poor.

About traffic

From the airport to the PATONG probably 550B, but if you arrive late, you might be 600B.

Back to the airport from PATONG, as far as possible, and the TAXI drivers of bargaining at the roadside, 500B is sure to make a deal. Normally you should be able to 45 minutes.

In THAWEEWONG ROAD (PATONG BEACH ROAD) from PATONG BEACH on PHUKET Town to buses, 20B.

Generally, every half hour from PATONG town last late General bus is 18: 00PM. Waving the stop, after the BIG C, CENTRAL FESTIVAL, etc. (all large supermarkets or shopping malls)

The edge of the many are called to TUTU's car, not sitting too, so the price is not very clear.

With regard to monetary

Daily exchange rates are not the same, but different exchange point.

The PATONG RESORT near a bank exchange point of exchange best, are yellow signs. (Purple should be the Everbright Bank, not the highest, but also can)

By the way, their exchange points across the road is a few steps, but to the 11: 00AM or 12: 00PM open, go to earlier only eating a locked door.

We use dollars baht, $ 1 = 37.04--37.21 ($ 50 or $ 100 up for some of the other low) If you use RMB exchange, the exchange rate will narrowly, probably around 3.9.

PS: If you sit at the arrival of the flight, it is best to start at the Bank to exchange some BATH or redeem points at the airport was closed to the hotel as well.

We luckily met 2 kind of Chinese people, or embarrassed. It seems only the Bund in Shanghai's Bank of China has changed, as if to make an appointment, you can call to ask.

About food

Just had to mention seafood.

Go online a lot of people recommended 99 large gears for seafood (opposite the ROYAL PARADISE, RAJ-J-THID-ROAD) 2 prawns + a copy of the shell and then have a vegetable + Thai Fried noodles + drink, 290B/person, only $ 62, quite cheap Oh ~ ~ with prawns make BBQ taste, is not it a little luxury?!, however Thai Fried noodles is sweet, not used

There's a lot of big gears are cheaper.

You can select one more to go to a crowded together.

Be sure to mention that the bar street OCEAN Gate have a sell PLAZZA fresh fruit juice in small stalls, 30B a small pot, a good drink.

On TOUR

The Earth is the AGENCY, be sure to talk with them, the best writing on the invoice.

Some are your part of the deposit and the rest of the day to guide activities. (Estimates this is the reserve price)

SIMON CARBARET 500B may decide to VIP seats

JAMES BOND ISLAND + SAFARI 1DAY long tail boat to the big ship 1000B/person (reserve price should be 900B)

Approximate distance: morning in JAMES BOND ISLAND stay for half an hour, the island offer very scary, according to offer 20%-25% of the offer.

Then go to KO PANNYI lunch (a Muslim residential area). The afternoon is SEA CANOE, remember to tip 20B/person. And then a park to see the elephant show, ELEPHANT TREKKING, very safe, do not be afraid of.

PHI PHI ISLAND + KHAI NOK ISLAND 1DAY speedboat 1100B (estimated price floor 900B)

Approximate distance: speedboat ride from CHALONG BEACH, the first stop is the MAYA BAY, but is the sea, should insist on sighting on the island.

The beach is very beautiful. It is important to note that AGENCY must be clearly and, prices must be included on the MAYA BAY. Otherwise, the guide will ask you also collect fees because 200B, this is a NATIONAL PARK, so we have to pay for it. (We just don't know, be hang) then the bird's nest caves and sea MONKEY BAY of sighting. Followed by SNORKELING, I remember with bread, to crumble, small fish have flocked to. Can't swim, it is best to follow the personal water, this comparison a sense of security, although certainly not nomy flooded.

Lunch is on the PHI PHI DON.

There prices are comparatively high. But the exchange rate is also higher than PHUKET

The afternoon will go to KHAI NOK ISLAND, there is also very pretty, any time.

Reclining chair is to spend money.

PS: If you have enough time and energy to PP Island night.

You can also VIEW POINT to watch the sunset. All activities will have MINI BUS shuttle from the hotel, very convenient.

About shopping and other

Bar street is OCEAN PLAZZA, inconspicuous, only a 3-story building.

BOOTS on the ground floor there is.

PHUKET TOWN FESTIVAL on the CENTRAL great, everything here is slightly cheaper than domestic.

But Wacoal and deserves the underwear are much cheaper than domestic to triumph for example, the same subsection underwear can be cheap, about 30%. As regards the concept of wacoal nothing, always is cheap.

LEE and LEVI ' S jeans also cheaper than domestic, and if you have a discount, you can buy 200 m LEE.

View LEVI ' S Edition is better. Fold the renminbi is probably between 350-400. ($ 1 = 4.65B calculation, if the exchange rate is better, cheaper)

THAI MASSAGE always try, LET ' S RELAX room environment is very good, service is also good.

2 hours 700B, herbal massage, are also not particularly expensive. Foot massage than Shanghai expensive.

Temporarily can think of them, in this way.

Now, the hard work, to prepare for the next holiday
