1. air ticket + Visa
We decided to look for travel agency air tickets and visas, results for the month of April, after the spring and summer air time out tickets for travel to know when things didn't we think of as simple as that.
The original may go to Thailand during the period immediately before the ticket is the tour operators favor now only we name transmission into the computer, put on the waiting line, in front of the ticket or the airline tickets are round and then we get, even, and so on, and is also in late April. This is the way to our visas, Hotel confirmations, purchase, and so on are forced to postpone, very passive. Therefore, we were going to the golden week period traveling or earlier ask travel ticket, don't like us, because there is no experience almost can't walk. Of course, in the end we had to take from the travel agency and the whole Thai ticket, but considered it with the rest of the visas have been relatively tight. BTW, delegate travel visas, Xiamen's uniform is a person 400 (Thailand Embassy website price is 200), in short the final with a travel agency stresses good 3000 = Xiamen-Phuket-Bangkok-Xiamen ticket + Visa, do not know the price, in order to compare the other mix records, seems to belong to the middle of it. By the way, there are 117 of tax, it is impossible to speak of.In addition, we strongly resisted red-eye flights, antipathy to midnight by air travel agencies also do one day, so we did not take into account domestic so-called Air Charter, Thai time very well, and the aircraft was also very comfortable (the most simple example, seat spacing than many of the big air, does not make people feel uncomfortable), the service good, stewardess empty least are very beautiful!
2. hotel reservation
We booked the hotel is also recommended that Alice and www.asiahotels.com www.phuket.com scheduled above, in Phuket we booked Blue Ocean Resort, set in Bangkok Baiyoke Suite Hotel.
But from this kind of site for the hotel to the international card prepaid 30% down payment, again in Thailand shopping, hotel credit card to charge a handling fee of 3%. After hard work (in fact, is to call the hotel directly), I got the e-mail address of Phuket Hotels, so you can not save through intermediary and deposit, if you have any request can communicate directly with the hotel (provided that the price does not change). Proved so much better, fart big problem they will patiently answer. However the hotel in Bangkok is through the preceding the asia-hotels, because they have a preferential policies, a prepaid double room breakfast included as long as the $ 30, than directly find hotel booking is much cheaper. So we have to spend more time comparison, always find suitable to their tastes. Of course, the we is neither a backpackers, nor is it wherever you live in Sheraton, ER (public funds), the value of or letter price ratio, so everyone has their own condemnation. In addition to PP Island accommodation we are ready to find a local travel agent, anyway, there are other tourism projects together, and looked at the online price is not expensive, the province is free.Facts prove that our choice is also good, Phuket hotel is very near from the beach, walking is 4, 5 minutes, there's a picture of with Internet facilities, 900 baht a night without breakfast.
Baiyoke Suite Hotel Bangkok is Baiyoke Sky opposite, Armari Watergate, and several other hotel, go to walk about 15 minutes is Isetan and ZEN, and several other large shopping centre, breakfast in the attic (43/f), can overlook Bangkok sights (but Bangkok pollution more serious, not too far). In PP, PP travel agency is established, the Hotel is 2 minutes to disembark, close proximity to the beach. The room can also be, that is, like the preceding Alice said, clean the room slowly, often are our afternoon sail back also didn't clean, room inside the Notice above also wrote "Cleaning Time 8am 4pm, Hotel Not to Accept Any Complaint During This Period" (GIST). By the way, my GF English very well, so the entire trip we had no language barrier, but sometimes need to confess, we will mention later.There is very important for the hotel front must read carefully the map, it is not located in the very convenient area, otherwise the trip will be a lot of inconvenience.
We stayed in this hotel are 3 meets this condition, so the province a lot of time and effort. But note that the hotel's own map on a Web page and the hotel will be on your site are slightly different, relatively accurate or the hotel's own.3. travel arrangements
Because Thai Airways flights from Xiamen only 2, 4, 6, so we use a two-day holiday, as follows:
4.29 Xiamen-Bangkok-Phuket
The main find travel agencies a.m. 4.30 arrangements after a few day trip in the afternoon at the beach, riding Pantong motorboat sunbathing or anything, shopping for seafood

5.2 early boat trip to the beach in PP, afternoon sun, the island around a familiar environment

In fact, both are on the road, but the real fun time there are more than 7 days, the feeling is quite enjoyable, especially in the PP for 3 days, the day is its own rent long-tail boat out to sea, have a lot of fun, night looking for a restaurant to eat seafood, almost no time constraints, very relaxed, let alone be the Guide to what a mess of a jewellery shop.
In addition we are looking for is The Crystal Tour, get the PP is the price of the ticket + Hotel roundtrip PP (mountain view) 3 nights + PP 1-day tour (this item is proven and dinner), additionally total 55 baht 007 Island + Phang canoeing + elephant elephant trekking 2800 baht for two persons.
4. travel Tips
A) first, the money issue.
Through our comparison, or opposite Pantong Beach, the most high said airport travel notes previously at the exchange rate is high, 400 cutter, results in a high rate of Pantong see out of a large lot for 300 baht, you can buy a lot of incense has to be on the safe side, we prepare a 96 years later dollars and denomination is 50, 100, only had two sheets of 20 's and a 10-block-just in case. Most of the course is in making hotel, not only low but also charge.B) and then is shopping.
See travels before that in the above Pantong bargaining principles is 30 per cent of the original price, the later discovery is not always feasible, we bid too low and they just tell you the Bye-Bye. But in general like incense, shell do small jewelry such as counteroffer absolute if he price of 40 percent or less, we buy in 007 Island 100 Baht shells wind chime, the results back to Xiamen see much larger than that of all ing as long as 25, depressed ... ...All recommended Ocean Plaza we both went to, I have little interest in itself anyway, GF also just want to see it sells underwear is not as you say.
However she references like her in Tokyo, Paris, Hamburg, shopping when leveling, so things like a little cold, nothing to buy, soon came to my mind exploded in happy underneath the supermarket, we mainly there to purchase water and fruits, didn't buy sunscreen can be bought inside, but the price is not cheap (we brought was the Nivea and SPF25 SPF50 + + of Shiseido), suggest that you also try to put these things in China are ready. Minimum buy in PP or not to buy things, one is sold with Pantong almost, the price is much higher. Our inside a building, a shop to see a beautiful glass bottles in a lot of colorful shells, and asked him how much money, he said, we routinely ask 350 "Any discount", the results still boss understand Chinese replied: "then you go to another shop bought", we spot% # $ * and *! ...In Bangkok you can go for a stroll around the Isetan, we think the Isetan Bangkok than Shanghai that cheap, something is not bad, my GF bought a pair of Sandals made in Japan after playing only 790 baht discount, MNG's style is better than the domestic, Guess things at least varieties.
The Lacoste interested friends but should buy, the price is almost the half of the domestic and European to two-thirds (my GF says about Chinese to Lafayette buy too much, Lacoste in Europe also appreciated). what other of Siam Square can also go to a go, although the size and grade than Isetan are less, but contains some brand is good, the best selling commodity BootsMM are necessarily go around, many things are no, the price is acceptable. We are in Bangkok for a whole day of shopping street, in Xiamen fun.Overall, we think to buy some special gifts should be, such as various shell jewelry, incense, candles, SOAP carving flowers cover thickness of Thailand elephant's album and so on, back away, they are better for the Memorial, but it seems these.
Of course, if you are interested to buy some MM sarong or something, if not the bikini should also be to buy, although in general but quality flowers-what is quite good.C) dinner question really easy.
In Pantong but we're going to stall, opposite the Royal Paradise, there's a lot of home, we recommend that you do not go to the sign reads "shark", the boss will speak Chinese, are actually misleading, to several expensive than others. Here is you can bargain, total amount of the change can also be saved. We are the couple of spicy, but also special ordered Chef "we want it very spicy", but it seems the more spicy curry is not, or no chili we love spicy. PP many sea seafood stick shift, the taste, but often have a swordfish in the door, very interesting (but the meat is thick and not tasty). Recommendation no point BBQ 's, although it looks very tempting, anything on the grill above all zi zi baked, but they did not put the barbecue any seasoning (including salt!), tastes like pennies. One of the largest, is out of the dock to the right of the first, because of the geographical location of the business is really good, but the service is really too bad, we firstDay light order waited 45 minutes later point buffet! salad with cherry tomato is stinky! we can go on, in front of several we tasted better than the prices will not wait that long! usually like restaurant scene of MM can also emulate their practices, my GF started also want to learn a few tips, you can then see what they do and when half plus one big spoonful of butter into it, think that eating a week and a half years she will be hard to go on a diet of vanished, quickly abandoned. In Phuket and PP and roasted corn and fruit shake is our favorite except dinner eat outside, opposite the beach at Pantong Ocean Plaza branch road next to a votive Schoolgate, only she sells corn is steamed and grilled, roasted aromas and also have a corn of sweet water, unlike others directly with a corn roast is very dry. What other fried chicken chicken wings and the like, very sweet, but the absolute junk food, MM can not stop eating live!In Bangkok we love to eat is rice noodles, generally is 20 baht a bowl, there are fish and chicken gizzards.
We see that the local people are holding table on hygiene lettuce leaves and rice noodle eating asparagus bean, directly next to the mouth, feel a little mind-blowing, salad or sauce of Ah?! to recommend Isetan shopping mall that's Kentucky Fried Chicken (3 chicken wings only 35 baht, taste sour and very special), Robinson Ice Cream (cheaper than the Haagen-Dazs and delicious) and a Japan restaurant "boat" (appears only in Japan, China is irremediably so seriously), price reasonable and things done road, GF praised her in Japan beyond the best sashimi & misoshiru.D) entertainment items probably compare popular is the Fantasea, but we didn't go to — not because it is not good, we do not like this kind of show.
Also there is no need to specifically go to see the Goblin, the evening Bangla Road a lot, you can pay for the photo, 20 baht, to do other actions please pay more. Massage all over the street are, but I still have air conditioning. Generally they start to start the lighter, if you haven't heard their bones sentries sound can also call them the "heavier", then you can feel what is spending money to abuse themselves. Oh, joke, even if it was a bit of a pain, but very comfortable. Recommended MM are doing facial massage, absolute beauty! there is a bubble bar, bar with ESPN, looks like a polar bear that foreigners hold black skinny little chicken-like Thai girl sitting there all drink beer while watching what for Premiership,!In Bangkok we didn't go to the red light district, do not know how.
Then I have some regrets, GF also go over Germany's largest red-light district — Hamburg Reeperbahn, what I would have no chance!E) now seems to have the said that considerations
Remember what to bring:
1) bundle: essential balm/mosquito oil (we also got mosquito), SPF, sunscreen and tanning repair cream, personal hygiene products (including toothpaste and toothbrush, cleanser, lotion, shampoo, etc. — with the most convenient is that a bag of 5ml Travel Pack), slippers, towels (although the hotel offers beach towel, but he took a good, smaller is better), laundry SOAP (if you put it to the hotel's laundry wouldn't!)
2) clothing: sunglasses, bikini (please don't go with the Siamese swimwear, there definitely will appear very Earth!), a set of go to Royal clothes (trousers/skirts and t-shirts, but be sure to wear shoes that have followed, the girls wear flip-flop will not work, or as I like being forced to rent GF that giant Earth immense sandals, would also like to buy a pair of socks at once, very miserable).
Previous mix has mentioned raincoats, hats, we feel that it's not that we need, with or without you. MM, or as many as possible to the package with "Sao" clothes, don't get there than with a foreign MM with a rice dumplings. Fellow men go ahead local buy beautiful island shirt, a set is 200 baht, anyway, is there to wear through fun, HA HA!3) we write the Bible printed with me!
We also arranged the trip for a long time ago also spent a lot of time on the Internet to collect data, optical printed ctrip travels on a thick stack, but also take the time to go to Thailand's Web site, such as the hotel is a one of spots open, select the letter prices higher than the highest; finally he will sort all of the information, and the hotel confirmation letter with print, mounted in the box, ready to go!
The preceding Alice said, the English word quantity is 200 or more on select tours, which we agree, again for over there is on the most simple, you said a complete sentences they don't necessarily understand, as long as the most important of the words to say it can understand each other.
Bargaining with calculator, there is no need to read a long series of numbers, so even with a fast yitong offers also. Best of all, all the time is your own, you're on the beach, on a two-hour stay, Sun one afternoon in the Sun, so that no one cares; but we see in PP with mission, morning departure from Phuket, traveled more than two hours, at noon to PP ate lunch, only two hours is their own, only a stroll in the streets in a hurry, it is virtually impossible to appreciate the beauty of PP, even yet have not returned to rushing and also got tired. Of course, also have to spend money buffet will be more prepared, depends on your major is from the economic point of view or play comfortably considered, after all, the people choose not to. JFYI, we add up all the overhead of nearly 1 million 3, seems to have also not large. Here would like to thank my GF, in fact, before her careful to take the time to prepareBefore we had this trip so pleasurable.The Bible is, and we ask what's the problem though, we will try to answer in detail.
Followed by some of our more interesting things will come out, I hope everybody supporters, thank you!
