Phuket Pipi 10 days

See the travel on the Internet to collect various information, time for a week, and finally the pure freedom.

10 days 9 night, air hotel total spend 12000. Personally feel that if time permits, can own planning trips, you can try a different hotel, different beaches, experience different feelings.

Air tickets

I booked departure from Macau AirAsia, two round-trip 4700, might be a little expensive, time has no matter so much.

Tips:1. Ticket must be made as soon as possible, as soon as possible, especially the AirAsia, may be met free flights, only pay a fuel tax (AirAsia is also not good places, such as ticket can only be rescheduled cannot back); 2. Shop around, I find in the following order: ctrip-> all domestic airlines website-> Air Tiger-> > Thai Airlines-AirAsia-> Singapore Airlines, finally found the cheapest AirAsia.

In Singapore over Phuket has encountered a buddy told me from Singapore to Bangkok is very cheap, SIA two 500 Yuan round, so I can find cheap domestic flights to Singapore from the go would be a good choice.

Here, by the way, if you are from Xiamen or Hong Kong and Macau, so it is more suitable for AirAsia, if you are elsewhere, AirAsia.

I heard that Orchid holidays is also very good, on-line a lot of people mentioned, you can Google it.

Hotel

Visit all hotels are in the Internet.

Set a survey before you do, find the cheapest Asiarooms, both on this website. Are interested and you can then compare, see if you can find cheaper. I personally recommend Asiarooms, this is a very famous in Thailand, a bit like domestic ctrip, only to focus on the credibility of the hotel, very well (I am fix Hotel Thailand after the coup d ' état, cancel, and then decide to go, again scheduled, toss a bunch of things, but the staff or Asiarooms very carefully and accurately did, but English is very good, huh, huh); another advantage is easy, complete the booking on the Web application will have a letter sent to your mailbox with your detailed booking information and reservation number, if you want to change, you can contact them on the Internet, usually in 20 minutes you will have the answer, fast. After the scheduled orders a day probably look back to have a reservation confirmation to the email, tell your booking was successful, and if successful you can print used in check-in e-Voucher, confirmation of the booking you can also change the way an application with reservation; another change is that this website contains detailed maps, but also the hotel's location is very good, can help you locate what you want, such as Phuket, on many beaches you can find on the map you want to go to the beach, and then look at this beach hotel, very convenient; all hotels have a passenger's Comments, the evaluation is still very relevant, you can reference. Note: 1. On canceling the reservation fees, the provisions in the Asiarooms 08 days 7 days before the cancellation charge 15 USD, 7 days from the day room rate; 2. Once the reservation has been confirmed, your credit card will be debit, stay out of the hotel there is no longer paying bills.

If you intend to find hotel Phuket is not impossible that there really is a hotel we went to the site, is the low season, so the room rate is very high, the good points of the hotel are many rooms available, if you are not afraid to risk point little risk, during the peak season you can also try, but the price is cheaper than online Forester.

Traffic

Set the ticket and hotel, which is a matter of Phuket Airport worry later, ^ _ ^! don't worry, because the uncle of V, see once than hear a hundred times, Uncle V was so as legendary.

Before you go on the Internet a lot of people to advertise, thinking that he is, after he tried also reluctant to him as Toro, huh, huh. I'm going to try to before he sent email, tell him we itinerary, and let him pick up, he will soon return to us a simple introduction to the various Tour and quotations, and arranged to pick up time. The plane was late 2 hours to Phuket, a out of the airport to see someone with my name, haha, necessarily Uncle V. In accordance with the price of the prior appointment 500B transfer us to the first stop on this trip, Amari Hotel, at the same time about good morning on all kinds of fun things. The island of all traffic to pass through the V Uncle arrangements to facilitate security also easy, if not bother with Tuk-Tuk drivers drive a hard bargain, you find him figure it out. Of course, if you are interested in your own car hire, beach on the edge of a lot of people will sell to you, the car they are more expensive (and is the right driving), motorcycles are cheap, 200B day (24 hours), and very cost-effective.

The second day, Uncle V on time to the hotel we went to his office, the place is very difficult to find their own estimates.

Learn more about the we were after, Uncle of trip to the V some Tour, we selected a part of, your own custom part, prices and online can find lowest price for similar items, see him so really, I can't even drive a hard bargain are province, directly to the money, ^ _ ^!

My suggestion is to start before you look at on the Internet are those that can play the item, the Phuket won't have to waste time, targeted! Phuket there are many Travel Agency, many people holding sign soliciting in the roadside, we all

After the try to, you should be good, but I think Uncle v to me good enough, so they all travel to him, it is free from worry. Later discovered Uncle V character really didn't say that we later playing tired, have a very expensive project does not want to play, with examples of the heart to call Uncle V requirements give up, but I haven't finished it, he said "he kept no problem, no problem, I ' ll return the money to you", brisk! we return next time we go to the airport because he didn't have time to arrange a personal dedicated to our first received his office, the money to me personally, but he kept wishing me a happy journey and at the same time reminding me to just pay 600B drive us to the airport, because we went away from Kata Beach walk, the ratio of 500B only when more 100B, good cheap. On the way back to thinking must do for Uncle V, let the good advertising efforts also received good news!, Oh!

The following is the contact method Uncle V, you can directly call his cell phone, his English is definitely better, at least, be afraid couldn't understand Thai English or mail contact.

The hotel and the feeling of a beach

1.

Amari and Patong Beach

Amari Patong Beach is where the Beach, Phuket's most popular, most of the beach.

The benefit is next to the beach brings together a wide range of hotels, restaurants and shops, the easy life; not a good place is the beach, too many people, too noisy, if you like quiet people won't quite fit here. Along Patong Beach Hotels with numerous large and small hotel, so many people say to Phuket again looking for a hotel is not impossible, to see people like to take a small risk, 9, 10 month right here in the low season, many hotels have rooms available.

Here at Amari this hotel, which is also the main hotel, ctrip prices, location good, located at one end of Patong Beach, the terrain is very high, so all rooms are basically facing the sea, the hotel facilities are also good for the environment, the key is very quiet, welcome drink is very good to drink, is this trip that best drink.

Out the door from the hotel there are many Tuk-Tuk car, a bit like domestic small lorry, inexpensive, but to keep drivers cut prices. If you only wanted to eat outside the hotel or do some shopping, walking, 5 minutes do not have to go to the very lively place. If this is the honeymoon trip can tell Hall staff, the hotel will offer free cake.

2.

Holiday Inn and PhiPhi Island

Holiday Inn is located at the northern tip of the island, the hooded its beach is the best of this trip, soft fine sand, clear sea, waves, suitable for swimming and practicing snorkeling.

There are another two on the beach hotel, two hotels and some local is called "sea Gypsies" opened a small grocery store.These two hotels as a first name, and specifically, because the hotel is something expensive, take two steps to eat a meal is good. One called "Jasmine restaurant", while watching the ragged, proprietress of fried quite well, English is not bad; another even in this relatively decent on the beach, the hotel is called "Sawasdee" tablecloth is red stripes, much like the "Northeast", the food quality is good, the price is slightly expensive "Jasmine". In addition to these, the Holiday Inn is located on the beach, there is no else, so enjoy the shopping people live in this I am afraid to depressed.

Furthermore, the hotel has a total of 77 seat Bungalow, all beginning with 1 is linhai, price expensive, we stayed one night, us $ 101,119 but sea view invincible, open the Windows and doors are the sea, the feeling is very good; 2, 3 and 4 at the beginning, in the respect rely on a nice tropical jungle scenery, cheap lot, it is estimated that one-quarter to one half can be cheap.

The facilities in the room, bed too soft, your teeth are slightly salty water, may be too close to the sea; a big room has two beds, a small, small bed is designed to do massage, Oh; there is no TV, only one set of speakers that you can borrow in the lobby of the CD, but have no choice, but early are borrowed, so plan to come here to live friends can own some favorite CD.

The hotel also has a "Leisure Room", which you can watch TV and videos, the air conditioning is very full, very cold, TV 's, videotapes or older; here to mention the "Mini-Library" tourists leave books and magazines for later to read, we see all kinds of text books, but not Chinese, there may have been borrowed, or pressure root no, unfortunately we visit in a hurry, without any Chinese books, so I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to what is going on here and friends with two books, ensure you have the time to read (because it's really very little entertainment activities, like back in primitive society), go to donate it to a mini library, for our country to fill a gap, huh, huh!

"Leisure Room" there is a sign at the entrance, every hotel activities cause column in the above, those interested can contact "Sport Activity Centre" with Snorkel, Fin, Canoe, bath towels can be borrowed free of charge.

There are also various Tour, where different, essentially 400B an hour, we in the few days the weather was bad, only to very close to the several places snorkeling, unfortunately not able to go into the legendary great Maya Beach, nearby Bamboo Island and Monkey Beach didn't go into. But in any case make sure to go snorkeling, bread must take, numerous beautiful little fish to Peck your hands feel super fun of bread, the Coral Sea is also very beautiful, look carefully points also can find Sea Urchin in with blue eyes, very cute. Do not swim wear life jackets are recommended, so you have nothing to fear of underwater world.

The hotel also has a games room, billiards, table tennis inside, DART, surprisingly Mahjong, we play DART saw the other four Chinese go at that promote cultural legacy, ^ _ ^.

3.

Kata Thani and Kata Beach

Kata Thani Hotel is located in Kata Noi Beach on the edge of the beach is only a brief period of Kata Beach, there is also a great section called Kata Beach, Main great scenery, is the wave, we wish to hang two days is the red flag (dangerous, can't swim).

Along the road in front of the hotel to the North to find two restaurants and a Massage shop, on the North of the restaurant taste good, very cheap, is not very positive service attitude, probably because there's always a lot of people's sake, I went twice, first to the 30B tip, the second one didn't have to; there are a wonder why no one is looking at it is also good, very puzzled, but don't have time to try out. The Massage is not recommended, because the price is more expensive, but it looks very professional.

If you want to do in this Massage, we recommend that you do in the hotel, the price is very cheap, Thai Massage 300B/Hour, from 9: 00 a.m. to 6: 00 p.m., in the garden, swimming pool edge, is not in the room, ^ _ ^! no booking, see doing Massage past about time.

Along the way to the hotel, go back through a high slope, you can see many Massage shop, price cheaper, also very professional, recommended!

Kata Thani Hotel covers an area of very large, there are many swimming pools, reeds are basically is the Chair of the old European Americans forcibly, accounted for just one day, but also earlier in the morning and went to occupying, very funny.

The hotel has a lot of wing, large and small across the beach side, some rooms can see the sea, some can only look at the swimming pool. Bhuri Wing like Atlantic and Wing are away from the beach, of course, is not completely do not see the sea, just not facing the sea, huh, huh. The hotel interior is this trip the best, very distinctive bathroom, there is a small fountain, just a quilt super bad mood, or the two sheets intermediate clip a blanket, sleep I is very accurate, this is what I think the biggest failure cabaret.

The above mentioned Main Beach of Kata that name of Kata Beach Hotel, looks very nice, great Kata Beach, Kata Beach, like the big can consider living in that.

This is a benefit that around all kinds of shops, shopping for dinnerAre convenient.

4.

Karon Beach

In this special mention this beach because the beach is so beautiful, it should be said that Phuket's most beautiful, long sandy beaches, gentle waves, most notably the entire Beach are in the edge of the road, all hotels are separated in the other side of the street, so you can enjoy the beach.

The local people recommended is the most beautiful beaches, so we can consider this hotel next to the Beach. We didn't live the beach, this is not recommended and are interested to Asiarooms on check.

Other

1. on the change baht

Phuket on earth are Money Exchange, a Bank, the Money Changer is also Authorized to change money is still very convenient, but it should be noted that: bring currency developed country's currency is best, generally with a US $-euro, dollar and RMB do not take the reason see 2; exchange rate shops are not the same, you can compare and decide which change, personal experience of the TMB is high; the best now in China, so that when you have to turn in Bangkok, Bangkok from Exchange rate that is lower it; if you bring us the best is 50, 100, rate of Exchange than small denomination in US dollars.

2. on the RMB

Do not take RMB mentioned above, it is because there the exchange rate is too low, around 100 RMB/380 baht, know how much of the Renminbi against the US dollar? is probably the one to one, but $ treatment is much better, and 100 dollar 470, the fact that I was very depressed.

3. on the tip

Whatever your preferences are not used, a tip or not to the vast majority of people I come into contact with, whether it is a waiter or taxi drivers are very professional ethics and professionalism, the service was also very enthusiastic, over 10 days in the hotel Kata not to give the other.

As for how much really to vary from person to person, feel the service is good, more points, 50-to-100B, other General 20B. So the wallet to standing 20, 50 and 100 Baht. The road to see the many European and American people do not leave a tip, but the locals do service is very good, very hard, so a little despise them.

4. with regard to meals

The local has a rich food resources, mainly in Thai Food, seafood dinner BBQ, and so on, of course, can also find the patient eat Chinese food, the taste it is not so pure.

Beach in Patong Beach big gears are generally more expensive, farther away from the Beach places the cheaper, but on the whole Seafood more expensive, seafood dinner at least 2 people; pure Thai 600B above Food slightly cheaper 300B right, above that of the hotel Kata is very cheap, 400B ate very cool. Basically there's close to domestic consumption, where the same grade may be expensive, go out to play well, you don't care about so much. There is still a lot of Japanese Restaurants, it seems to go to Phuket in Japan who is still very much.

5. with regard to the time difference

Thailand than China late an hour, so go after the table back dial an hour.

6. with regard to shopping

Phuket land are Seven Eleven, FamilyMart convenience stores, etc., do not more.

It is worth mentioning is away from the Phuket Town is not far away there is a large Central Festival Shopping Mall, with our favorite NaRaYa package, many people buy it, not money. Nearby there are also Big C, Lotus and are supermarkets, shopping you can go and see. From Patong and Kata that all 300B.

7. on the free map

The Phuket International Airport, don't forget to pick up a free map, go to the baggage can be seen on the way, these maps are useful, can help you find the deciding tour, some large areas such as Shopping Mall mentioned above can be found, convenient and practical!

8. on the phone

Calling from hotels is a labour life injured Choi, crazy expensive, sometimes would like to make a phone call also let ext, very bad mood! is strongly recommended that convenience stores buy a local SIM card, the phone bill containing 50 200B, rechargeable, playing almost all domestic prices, is 7-8B a minute, this is much better than the hotel cheap.

You can also use a payphone, similar prices.

9. on the civilized travel

This is a hot topic recently, some people travel abroad practices already alarmed by the State party, the country seems also to the issue of what citizens traveling abroad, such as behavioral guidelines themselves for accommodating dongdong, civilized country has reduced to the extent that funny! however in Bangkok airport to see that scene really makes me very Khan, a Sichuan tours a mound of people went on when the said luggage check-in crawler on a look at their little meat weigh, in total disregard of the staff of discouraging, Halo na!!! so here also call upon the note image, huh, huh!

10. Bangkok new airport

Previously mentioned airport travel notes inside the old airport, this time we go to the new airport was exactly, I have just enabled the Halo Ah, how to travel in say, later found to be a new airport, so the reference line at all.

The new airport is modern, is also very convenient, don't forget the airport maps, very helpful!

You have any questions you can ask me, I try to! biggia@gmail.com
