2007 October 12 to 17, Phuket tour (1)

Remember remember the running tally myself, there are some minor problems encountered.

This is me and LG's first long-haul holiday, because like comfortable, and chose the free line, proved this choice is very right.

As long as they can speak a little English, Phuket free line is the most appropriate choice.

11, the baggage is ready, just a few pieces of clothes and wash putt one person, one long-sleeve (is indeed essential airport); Sun; because want to save time to checked baggage, shampoo, cosmetics, what's with the small bottle filling good (I use small bottles are used to complete travel kit, sample Ah stay, no more than 50ml, HA HA), and then put into two 20CM * 20CM of sealing of plastic bags (I and a person with a husband); two sealed waterproof small box, you can hang the neck, used to on the phone and money, and a waterproof bag to put the camera; there is stomach medicine and motion sickness drugs, but also not used at a time, a bit of a waste, huh, huh.

12, set on high.

Airport security is here found not too strict, so what we have in the past. China Eastern's machine, this time very punctual take off. Before homework done poorly, not in Xiamen – Bangkok, Shanghai, Shanghai of China Eastern Airlines — Bangkok, count down, two to spend 3000 ocean?!! after four hours, the plane on time arrive Bangkok, slack-well, according to the strategy that's going to get two free Bangkok map. Then the traffic problem, I asked the airport personnel, LG people say fight to 500-600 baht, so whatever I say Raiders are said as long as 300 baht or so, he is not assured, that had to sit on the bus, 150 baht a person, not direct to the bus would also like to play, but as long as the ticket that will be able to more than 40 baht to our hotel, so that the count down is over 300 baht. But as we ran into bad luck, taxi drivers don't understand Ding bit English, so communication is called a hard time, finally found a understand some English to give his translation, finally found the hotel, go to like 60 baht.

We live in is the Grande Ville Hote, China town, the hotel is also very good condition, very clean and tidy.

But China town in this area I feel quite dirty. Put the luggage, we say it then swap point baht for dinner (airport only changed a little bit), results of exchange points are all here as early as closed. Fortunately met a taxi driver, a passion that can take us to the very famous night market, we had no intention to go, so want to want to look good, so good with the driver said, to exchange good money after paying car money. This driver is fluent in English, although a bit is not used to accent, but communication with no problem, I heard from Shanghai is also the name Shanghainese, Chinese can simply point, also to China for more than a half months, can speak several cities in Zhejiang and Shanghai's side, to the point of what super cheap Yiwu.

Say goodbye to the enthusiastic driver, we go eat first, quite a big, only shouquan do not receive money, the first at the entrance for good, not finished back can also be back, just like the big food generation in Shanghai.

Just ate a good meal on the rain, we have to just those little shop to shop around to find the stuff is not cheap. Had no intention of buying things, so take a look at the rain young man came to fight back. This time only to find rain taxi and Shanghai as hard, we stopped for two vehicles, results are said not to play table now. Why because it was dark and rainy chant. So stop to the third car when we turned up to twice the time fare back to the hotel.

A hostel no words.

13, hotel with breakfast sitting away from the window, find Bangkok motorcycle mighty, green light bright, just hear ROAR like Lei, brush brush, a large group of motorcycle is in an extremely rapid screamed, prospering, seem to have driven a team Ferrari! and then is the car.

Eat a good breakfast, idle also okay, next to the shops have opened the door, the jewelry store counters is empty, we also think that this is not to do business, and later discovered that every true upside is close to gold are away, when the door before putting them on. However one side only, no 24K 24 k gold.

Take a look at the boring, they said to go to the airport, behind things prove that this decision is how prescient! we stopped a car window stickers with "speak English" taxi, tell the driver to go to the general international airport sawan, cars set off.

Later discovered that the driver's level of English is extremely limited and presbyopia. Because you do not know the structure of the airport, the car for a while after I let LG tell the driver to the domestic departure to the airport, not the international departure, the driver had a "Comrade repeat domestic, not international", and then very positive nodded. Also open for a while, I feel uncomfortable because I remember all the way to the airport should be, how high is now open again to open. I also let LG with him to confirm that the sawan, general international airport take the LG simply map to show him what Airport (at this time we do not know if he is presbyopia), he confirmed the nod. Then open, the more that is wrong, because the airport logo on the English name clearly not sawan that general international airport, I immediately ask the bus driver to stop and ask the driver, he then put the presbyopic glasses wearing a close look at the map, so he put us on the domestic departure understanding became domestic airport! so that later if encountered English not good drivers, be sure to speak less and less mistakes. I blame my mouth LG, shouldn't talk to drivers say domestic departure international departure. But I have made drivers open wrong when he said that suspicion is my heart wordy. I am of course not, always talk to him like the locals speak English to speak slowly, they are not native speakers of English, he would not listen, self-absorbed stresses in comfort ... This trip of only a little noisy, HA HA. So, quickly turned to the international airport, catch, finally a reckoning, 500 baht!! I let LG 400 baht to the driver had, after all, we all have a responsibility, he gives a 1000To find that they do not hesitate to find the 500, I want to feel the theory, and chicken and duck, forget it, no charges of this spirit. Back or couldn't accuse the LG two sentences. This is the trip in the most unhappy.

To Phuket is Bangkok aviation, side of the security is very strict, put our suitcases are opened, the two packages extract supplies are looked up.

More than an hour's flight and arrive on time. The aircraft flew in Phuket Airport, my window to see the blue of the sea, the airport is by the sea, excited Ah! out airport, there is a surprise, the hotel has a shuttle bus will pick us, is a car, a brand name did not notice that the local drivers, there is a Chinese girl is responsible for hosting us. Haha, in Phuket is very pleased with the opening. Uncontrollable took here and Hainan, in the car all the way to look out the window, feeling the city actually no beautiful Hainan. In fact, even the cities are not just small town, so what side of the House, the confused, not very uniform, not that kind of planned, like domestic just a little town.
