Thailand, Phuket, PP 5-day tour

Thailand Phuket, pp Island 5 days tour

Image: Thailand

This year's travel plans, first choice is Sabah, Brunei, the second option is to Samui, is the third select pugi Island, due to scheduling issues, in my budget travel time no mission, Phuket became the only choice.

This is my fourth set foot on Thailand, Bangkok, 02, 04, Phuket, PP Island, 07 years Bangkok ... Wanted freedom, but because of the lack of preparation, and the recent period of time is always in the news, a newspaper said Thailand's political turmoil, the last still felt a little peace of mind with the mission, at the very least, if anything, there is a travel agency for relying on, or feel safe. Finally in the local travel agencies reported a Phuket, PP 5 day tour, the tour is $ 450, $ 200 for the tip Guide, aviation insurance is $ 20. Many relatives, friends would ask me, why so many still not tired of Thailand is like over there renyao? I smiled and said: If you ever been a time, you won't be asked this question. Yes, Thailand gives the first impression is the Goblin, the nightlife is colourful, of open country. But I like it and many like to Thailand free line friends: Thailand's favor, customs, tropical countries those fruits, and I heard many predecessors, 97 before the financial crisis, to Thailand Tourism tour price is very expensive, but at the time of consumption is very high, but I 02, give me the feeling is completely opposite, consumption is very low, especially the durian, fresh mangosteen, papaya, leaves, various mixed juice (my favorite), LEVI ' S, LEE, L'Oreal, etc, is famous for it's cheap. In addition, I feel that Thailand is really suitable for tourism, vacation, a spa, there are not too many of the industry, just like we like Guangdong Zhuhai, coastal city that kind of charisma, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other large cities could not match.

This TRIP, we went to the Bank for the $ 100 face value of the dollar, because in Thailand Exchange 50 and $ 100 face value of the dollar exchange rate is the highest, we had 100 dollar 33.69, 10 dollar 32.76, I looked at the airport, the Renminbi exchange rate is the Exchange with the tour guide, 4.04 4.5, $ 4.3.

DAY1：

August 22, at about 9 a.m. we arrive in Shekou, we set off from Shunde probably to 1 and a half hours, to find the Shekou, ask tour guide, we have the Mission of 32 people, well…you abroad is really big Corps mission.

(Because I understand general foreign tour 16 becomes mission, our 2007 in Bangkok for 12 people have become mission) and because the cabin is the province's photography, really is from the "seven seas", Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Shenzhen, even from Shanghai, Wuhan from there. Wuhan to unmarried couples of it is two days in advance by plane from Wuhan to Shenzhen, Khan! count down, prices should be able to go to Japan ... Half an hour or so, approximately 12 p.m. Beijing time, we take a boat to the airport, good presumably when 50 cent 12, when the boarding time is 13 40, so we'll stroll in the airport Mall, did not eat breakfast can fill the stomach. Thought on an airplane without lunch (last flight Phuket Airport, when hungry three clock), Hong Kong Airport did eat something (it's not cheap: Oh, in airport ajisen Museum, ate a pork chop-$ 68, $ 10 for a glass of milk), to eat meals and eat up time is almost up, directly to the boarding area, 1340 on time for boarding. From boarding gates sat that transit bus to computer places nearly 15 minutes, get off and take a look at the original us this time riding Dragon of the Airbus A320, camera small, only 156 seats, but the service is good, the quality of the air hostess is also very good, compared to our domestic China Southern Airlines, there are many worth learning.

To fly about 3 hours, arrived in Phuket, security at the airport, the airport is relatively small, the airport staff efficiency is not high, but to me the worst is when we drag luggage out of the door, never seen one airport staff, i.e. baggage can easily be falsely claimed.

Out of the airport and accompany the guide we put luggage, we'll get on the train, this time we were quite a lot, so it is a 45 seater Mercedes-Benz buses, is very old, but most depressed is not very cold air conditioner (because the car is this trip with our transport in Thailand this tropical country, if the air conditioner not cold, you said that this trip has more uncomfortable), we began to leave after boarding to places to eat at the airport, and from the airport into the city are probably spent an hour, our trip was the first meal is Thai cuisine meals, I thought it was good stuff, the restaurants, the original Thai cuisine is authentic Thailand cuisine, restaurant environment is good, on the hillside, tell the truth, the restaurant taste really General General, our tour members are to eat very taste, because the first night there is no arrangement program, so we are ready to return to the hotel after they went out to eat barbecue.

Exhausted after dinner, we started to go to our hotel, the beach at Tower a new hotel, is the only new 2008, arrived at the hotel, to my first impression is that this hotel is very new, but I really like the Bali style, there are two large swimming pools, small should have seven or eight, the room was very comfortable!, two 1.5 m King size bed, balcony on a big swimming pool, a building of more private swimming pool, fantastic! drop the baggage, we rushed out of the hotel near the night market shopping, nearby really hilarious, many foreigners, we eat a fruit pizza, then to the 7-Eleven convenience store and bought some bottles of juice, two bottles of Red Bull (10 baht per bottle, currency conversion names probably 2 Yuan), in Thailand, 7-Eleven convenience stores are many, whether it be in Bangkok or Phuket, almost every several hundred meters there is a large scale is small, but also some FAMILY MART, etc), here's your convenience store

Do not buy expensive things, like our domestic convenience store, what's expensive. Later, when we are going to want to buy some ' back to the hotel to eat (makes a kg to 80 baht, converted $ RMB 8 pound, expensive! and not much, not for picking), it began to rain heavily, we hurried back to the hotel. In fact the main reason for this is where the fruit is very expensive, but of the monopoly, the fruit is the most expensive, June 5, serve the local markets are 10 baht 1 kg (1 yuan renminbi convertion of 1 pound), Durian 15 baht 1 kg (converted 1.5 Yuan 1 pound), enough for cheap!

DAY2：

The second day was up early in the morning, it may be too tired yesterday, sleep well! was feeling very good, but out of the balcony watching the sky overcast, mood or worse, no matter so much, cleaning immediately after holding the camera to shoot some photos below, taken after the past breakfast (in Thailand, is a Western-style breakfast, very rich, with my favorite, f column eggs, ham, sausages, bread and butter, there are countless of watermelon, papaya, pineapple), eat food.

After eating we went the immortal peninsula, where the environment is really very good, listen to the guide that is highest in southern Thailand, here you can see a large blue sea, however, because there is a strong wind, the weather is not good, so take out photos or not! a certain group worship Buddha, about half the clock after we get on the bus, when torrential downpour, to drive the boat docks, rains, the greater the more the following, we at Pier a nearby grocery store for more twenty minutes, we bought a thin coat, 30 baht per piece, to 11: 30 am, because the rain is very large, many travellers have said since it came out, and rain is not afraid, don't waste time on the boat in the rain. We sat in the kind of long-tail boat, no rows will be able to sit for 3 persons, about 10 more row, very humble a Tin boat. Lunch is in the middle of some Muslim people water people restaurant food, the taste is like me, anyway, generally eaten with rice, then continue our journey, this time we are one of spots, is my throat Island here last time does not have, no two people sitting in a kayak, a local boat House is responsible for planning, we ship to see caves and mangroves, drew more then half the clock back to the big ship, continue to 007 Island, stopping a rain, but we got to the 007 island and began after the rain, out of phase is grey, the island had many hawkers stalls, did not have open, and it is raining, lonesome, about 10 minutes, we'll ship it back, go back on the road, the guide in the car began to sell him those of us at your own expense, because we take a boat to the big tomorrow is PP Island lived a late departure time is 8: 30 pm, the whole process to three hours or so, the guide said that if we took the ship to get up very early, and sat on the larger boats can easily be seasick, time and length, tired, PP Island afternoon didn't show up, we can choose to participate in a number of optional water sports, there are three items would have 5500 baht, now if you choose the package [s] 4500 baht on it (that is rented a boat for two days with us to what small PP Island snorkeling, beach, Emerald Island lovers and pleasure, there is no time limit), then don't know our mission of people very rich or what reason, most people would agree that the choice of this package, only one old woman is expensive, ask tour to discuss with the company, can be cheaper, then the guide is a telephone, not know couldn't get through, it finally gives us the answer is the price the same, but no one gave a Thai massage in ancient law, he then basically agreed that only four of us had not agreed, the reason is simple, our greatest concern is tomorrow's weather is not good, if you like this kind of weather, everything is playing, and 4500 baht per person is $ 10 per person, for Pete's sake, our mission for 32 people, $ 32000, pack a speedboat (not a luxury yacht!) for two days, not super expensive? but I'm sorry to say, now that have come out to play, anyway, majority! but if the weather is really bad, we killed four would not buy his account, then all the money, only four persons said we have to wait until tomorrow to call, then the guide is not our approach. The evening is arranged for Thai massage ancient method is "get", massage are at will to Thailand, in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket Island, in two of the Zhong, evaluation of the group members ' views, I feel also can! now has around 10 pm, tonight or the first night of the hotel, on the way back to the hotel, we go through a local buy fruit of the street, at the request of the members of the tour, the guide have the driver stopped, let us get off the selection of fruit, the fruit is not cheap, may we be tours of sake! we bought some Dragon arch (appearance with longan almost, but inside like garlic, a flap flap, sweet and sour, yes), the durian is certainly necessary, also bought some fresh mangosteen, Yes, there have to mention one of Thailand's side Dragon fruit, I haven't seen in China, this Dragon fruit than we usually eat small point, we usually eat the flesh of Dragon fruit white fading the flavor comparison, but this meat is red, and very sweet, very sweet, we each have a dragon fruit, we also bought two papaya! buy out and returned to the hotel.

DAY3：

Wake up, the first time is to see how the sky terrace, day or overcast, psychology is very accurate, but no rain, no way, with breakfast is very reluctant to give money to the Guide, I hope it won't rain today.

We went to a beach, the Beach Park has seven boats, larger can sit around 36 people, there are three Yamaha motors, small motors, only one may sit for about 10 people, we at the Terminal, rest area change, this is the sun began to come out, they are beginning to feel well, originally it never liniment sunscreen, take out the sunscreen, hard coating of all over the body. About 9: 30 pm, go! tell the truth, that is, time yachts, boatThe boat is a different flavor, because the ship is slow, you can appreciate the scenery along the way, according to the photographic, speedboats and you won't have the taste, Jolt about an hour, we arrive near the large PP Island, where a beach is not usually comes, may be the General tours here to learn the snorkeling here is very fine sand, slippery, I now remember, this beach is this trip the best beach, then we went to the other side of the PP Islands, snorkeling in the middle of the sea, here really started a lot of fish, but they are small, our mission has several children, 10-year-old eight-year-old, they can be considered to have the most fun, every time the water is having to unwilling. He also mentioned that there was at that time, the report said Thailand Phuket died, tens of thousands of people, this statement is not accurate, he said at PP island and Phuket died on thousands of people, but mostly in some visitors unfamiliar House (Thailand districts called House, almost our domestic provinces, but their Government is not our province face value), changwat than UC (007 Island) to the South was affected by the tsunami killed very heavy, like it hangs nearly 1 million people, Phuket affected is Alba East Beach, then it seems that more people died, 1000. The tsunami, they Phuket tourist industry basic full stop, nearly 8 months without a job, is chilaoben. 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they all think it had a tired, we sailed back to PP Islands, accommodation in hotel.

Eat enough, we returned to the hotel.

DAY4：

Today also got up early, 7: 30 that morning, a breakfast at 8 o'clock, 8: 30 check-out.

At breakfast, really very reluctant to leave in a hurry, so PP Island, in PP island a day really is too short, the most suitable is live on 2, 3 days, so you can savor the island's human customs, 5 years ago I left with regret, I didn't expect this, I'm still with the same feelings, the deck of the left. We sit on the boat headed for today's Emerald Island, the island is also our last tour in one trip, but this time, at its own expense, to become a bad mood! this is a small island, Thailand who called it egg island because he looks from above like eggs, but external propaganda will help him get a good name: called FirenzeGreen Island! no residents on the island, the island has only one restaurant, a buffet, and there are no fresh water, washing area water is the sea, the island's staff are in the morning from Phuket to carry food back on the island, to the evening boat back to Phuket, night stay one or two people in the guards on the island. I hear the guide said that this island is charged, no 280 baht, the cost of the package on the island, a beach chair, free Coke and watermelon, there is a buffet lunch. Today the island's many many people, we just managed to find a place to sit down, today Sun is very cool, is our best travel weather, you can go on the island, where two or three, but are crowded with people, listen to the accent are Southeast Asia, the beach gives my deepest thoughts and feelings is 5 years changes really are too big, I remember 5 years ago here in sand are very thin, slippery, variation, and has lots of dead corals ashore, I guess the beach in just three to become desert island. May have enjoyed yesterday too tired, you only have a few kids to shore to feed feeding the fish, others were lying on the beach chairs Sun! half 12 noon, and finally turn to us for dinner, where taste bad, eat enough! eaten, originally scheduled to be played on the island in the afternoon a couple of points, but since we don't want to go out to play, so we'll sail directly back to Phuket, about 15 minutes to the Terminal, the terminal after washed with water, however, began this journey of those shopping point for tours, we first went to leather, precious stones and jewelry Center, and then to the Center for studies of the serpent, and finally to a paradise riding an elephant, and finally to see the monkey dance! performed in watching monkeys when it began to rain, but fortunately, Yue ass to your vehicle to help us umbrella over, after boarding we went to dinner, dinner is a Korean barbecue, we heard that it is wrong to think that there are many delicious, with our usual buffet where almost hotpot, just bring a barbeque features, this restaurant you can taste.

He explained that, first of all, you here the durian is so cheap, water transportation, the durian in Hong Kong are basically 34 dollars a pound, those are air transportation, air transportation for two or three days away, but the cost is high, if the sea is a much lower cost, but basically to 15 days, sometimes even longer, so the waterborne transport of Durian certainly hit preservatives. The other is Durian cooked, he said that their side of the durian even then cooked, it will not be like us natural split, slightly used something that broke away. ）
