Due to a "free man" that is going to be their own arrangements for air tickets, visas, accommodation and routes, and to be able to with our vacation time, and therefore from the very beginning I ran into some trouble.
Fortunately, the trouble was I a conquest, finally the trips Phi Phi Island is determined in 3 late on, Phuket Patong 3 nights, a total of 6 night 8-day schedule. Although the decision to put himself from holidays to determine the place, time, trip to finally take place, from the time of speaking is more nervous. But first read the prawn ' travels, listened to some friends of introduction was also has some bottom.(2/23) with must-have items, dollar, currency and international credit card, drag the wife's hand on MU508521: 40 departure flight and in about 2: 45 or so arrive Phuket Airport, a little surprised when the airport was so humble.
Also as expected, all of the Exchange is closed, no one baht, the car is not a Taxi. We do not arrange hotel pick-up? a presence, pushing a luggage cart to one more direction. At this time, only heard the ears of "Hello" and "Taxi" sound came, we understand what is on the price. That brings us to the Chinese nation's wisdom and a bunch of Airport Taxi Station of cattle are in a war. Because of the prepared for 500 baht from airport to Phuket Town, so the bottom line is there yet. Unique is the cattle were taking place at the right time and we look to the list of tourists, but in the end we had 100 RMB turnover, and also help the aircraft met on a 100 MM also definite Bang Tao of RMB to Laguna. Definite, we looked back is the last batch. A banner of Airport Limousines Service indication of TOYOTA VIOS, put us in about 3: 30 minutes to Phuket Town of Metropole Hotel.Because of our scheduled Pickup to Phi Phi Island is in the early morning of that day, so the original intention to Phuket Town Pub or Cafe in bubble to the next night for accommodation.
The know Phuket Town, never imagined attractions, only scattered several not closing of shops and streets of wild dogs in a walk. No way, can only tell the Receptionist discuss Metropole Hotel, the good guy and foremen in consultation and let us in the hotel lobby sofas. Just happened to see a side of several people in Chinese about tomorrow's schedule, it is estimated that the Guide and the leader of the Chinese side. So, I thought quickly after they talk about looking for a like Thailand like guide request for baht. I know there is a general guide you can change the baht, I now is in urgent need of money also on exchange rate the unconscious. Because they don't accept US dollars, at last use 1: 4.2 for 300 yuan, while the low point but the final results prove that I was right. Thus I used this for the money out of the hotel to surrounding shops buy some fruit and drinks, ready to Phi Phi Island to enjoy.(2/24) at 8 am, then we go to reservation Phi Phi Island car was carrying a load of people finally came, more than the scheduled time 45 minutes late.
A bit of anxiety I had to go two phones. Been told our pick-up in Phuket Town, because the dock was recently we were in the last car, road traffic jam so late. Leaving the boat there are 5 minutes, we have embarked on Phi Phi Island to Ferry.8: 30 departure, this is a very comfortable Ferry, divided into outer space in the cabin and, in the cabin is the air conditioning room supply free Tea, Coffee and Snack, the cabin is all open top.
Many foreigners already can't wait outside of lying on the floor of the cabin and enjoy up to the Sun. The entire ship almost all foreigners are, rarely seen Asian. Probably at about 10: 50, we ride on reservation of Phi Phi Natural Resort pick of long tail boat, will soon go ashore. Due to the Phi Phi Natural Resort business booms, estimated at 13: 00 am before I like to live in dream and the sea of the Deluxe Bungalow. The only way you can let me mention that Ferry's management in order. On the boat, before everyone's left with different colors, graphics, with indication of the labelling to distinguish between different destinations. Some live on Tong Sai Bay, some live in Laem Thong beach, there is a round tour on the day. On board, the radio will be in English, to inform the itinerary and approximate time on which part of personnel should be disembarked at what time. If you have not listened carefully, they will patiently to each caller to reply. Wait until every Stop, each staff member would you label tell you is to stay or go. Not at all likely to have made a mistake.Settle down after looking up sleeping together, then it is delicious.
Wake up, put on clothes out of the room went around. The Phi Phi Island is North of Phi Phi Don (large PP) and South of Phi Phi Lay (small PP) composed of two parts, we stay in Phi PHi Natural Resort Phi Phi Don is the most northern Laem Thong beach on three hotels in the North, also is to say the entire Phi Phi Island most North. Laem Thong beach which is a soft white sand and calm sea is famous for. The whole hotel is like in a cabin on the beach, and all of the Group of huts were meandering footpaths and roadside congratulating struggle of orchids, large stands of tropical trees and a lot of unknown tropical plants surrounded by. The only difference is the wooden, object-oriented, I counted there face the sea and only 14 rooms, these are called Deluxe. In the hotel's restaurant called Sawasdee restaurant for dinner, the back room sitting in the balcony lounge while sipping from Phuket Town, on the fruit and beer, looking at the Andaman Sea on one side of a gentle sea breeze blowing, and sometimes from behind trees came the sound of the accompaniment of insects are also sometimes found when there is a sharp beak seabirds from you head over to stop on the balcony to show something that makes me feel infinite xie.(2/25) early in the morning and at Sawasdee exhausted after breakfast, we at 9: 30 or so to sea.
Our boat is at the hotel front desk there last night, but also as you say the prawns and the old man can speak a little English, although it is not good but very friendly, we learn that the Chinese people should up my thumb. We got on the long tail boat, with snorkeling mask & fin to the depths of the sea were passing away.I am exciting moment has finally arrived, Phi Phi Island surrounded by the sea is so beautiful.
Coastal seawater from green to dark green to deep blue, multiple layers, and sometimes there is sunlight scattered and sometimes there are fish around with churning. Probably lasted 15 minutes, we came to Nui Bay near silence of sea area. Sail to we had a stroke of a gesture and pointed to the sea, we understand what is tell us you can go for a swim. I cant wait to wear snorkeling mask feet up fin, jumped into the water. Unfortunately choke a bitter seawater, but soon adjusted. The boatmen helped to underwater still bread, and it attracted a large crowd of colourful fish in our side play. Fish Kiss our body, just want to put us as the bread, I took out a waterproof camera a mess after boarding the ship shoot and go. Our today's routes around the Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Lay North-South, then from South to North in a circle, the size of the path to the beach, the Bay and the numerous, the most famous is the Maya Bay. Noon bypass Phi Phi Lay after we got on the Loh Dalum Bay.Here's the terrain is very interesting, Loh Dalum Bay and Tonsai Bay back against each other, if seen from an airplane going seems like the pros and cons of two U-Word biography.
Their interlinked that strip is covered with numerous shops, restaurants, bars, hotel and Tour agent, we also found an Exchange. Although the rate of only 1: 38.3, but I still got another 100 dollars to spend two days after the day on the island. Stroll around in a circle, in PP Princess Resort in front of a man named Waterfall restaurant paused, looked at people wearing casual tour we were both beautiful used the lunch. And then quickly add some 7-Eleven food and drinks after the boarding.Away about half an hour we progressively closer to the Phi Phi Don Northeastern is located on the edge of two small islands, I guess, with the development of the tourism industry, they named the mosquito Island (Mosquito Island) and bamboo Island (Bamboo Island).
Yesterday arrived, we have also heard that employees have a number of these two small island scenery. But only if you can truly feel the beauty of it. Mosquito island and there are two small beaches, white sand is very fine and smooth, stepped on foot as it is in the message to my foot. Thorough seawater is not inferior to the degree of Maya Bay, but than it still is too much. The entire beach in addition to the two of us, there are two nude of foreigners in the solarium. At home, I see online on the Customs and culture of Thailand has said, this is a belief Buddhist country, is not allowed to own people under naked in public, but tourists so there is no limit to the State, but does not advocate, the hotel will have some words to remind visitors. I estimate that the foreigner to the utopia of places, and want to enjoy it. We come to them brought some panic and not natural, when I lift the camera/camcorder, I felt a man very close watched my lens movement range. To know that I am not going to put my limited resources to spend on their body. Next, we visited the bamboo Island, the bamboo Island Beach area ratio mosquito island is much, of course, lead to more people. Also probably lasted for almost 40 minutes, we ended the day's activities. To the following account, 6 hours of long tail boat plus rent snorkeling mask & fin 570 baht per person, really is excellent value for the enjoyment of it.(2/26) thought can lie-in, because today's arrangement is to stay at the hotel enjoying a rest.
The know, probably biological clock, I got up early for. Open the room all the curtains and window, Sun has brought the House to the sea before the smell and the smell of flowers behind the House. With great interest for me, along the balcony stair steps away to the seaside, the Sun has not yet risen slightly a silk cloth. Last night the tide faded nearlyBank of coral group show out, a large coral island to I smiled, I touched on many scratches slit nor with its care. Yesterday in the water, with its several intimate contact with the natural left a point marker. Distant clouds begin to red, I understand the Sun to come out, hurried back room check out the camera, just came across it probes for a moment, took down, broke a few. Breakfast on the terrace, set up a tripod is ready to shoot at will. Yesterday the two small islands and we have each other, and sometimes near roaring Speed Boat and have a canoe slowly exercise, and coral island have been buried. Our lounge chair until sunset.At Sawasdee restaurant for dinner, and finally we met on the island after the only Chinese, in the alien to be their mother tongue was exceptionally kind of communication.
The two of them due to time constraints, the island has only one night, after listening to us is the envy of our arrangements. The entire Laem Thong beach, in addition to our hotel, Holiday Inn and a stay in, if you do not wish to have dinner in the hotel, and only in this unique Sawasdee restaurant you can dine at the strategy, its dishes price performance ratio, is unable to accept. But the beach is no place you can buy fruit, to buy drinks and snacks is also one of the places.(2/27) 7: 30 to take up the next Ferry we left the Phi Phi Island travel to Phuket, all the way after 12 noon Lawton: 45 or so finally arrived in Patong beach for a Sunset beach Resort hotel.
A little unexpected is the location of the hotel, online reservation, wants to leave Town near point but it may be wrong, now the actual position is far better than expected. There is no way to live, only to lose 10% penalty. After done check-in, I slowly changing up my views. First, I was told to get a free upgrade pool view Deluxe room for 3 nights, stay a free Dinner, every half hour with free shuttle bus to Patong town, the hotel has a beautiful swimming pool, and more importantly the room facilities are very full, I estimate that this room standard and 4-star hotel in the country. So, we left without any word to lay down their luggage, take the shuttle bus15 minutes drive to Patong town. See so many visitors and there are plenty of shops, we look laugh. It seems that we still belong to the "Animal" City!One afternoon, the first found a change of exchange rate high enough dollars (1: 39.01), this pocket money.
Comparison of several Tour agent, determine a plan for the next day after the arrangements laid down, 3 in 1 Phang-Nga Bay Discovery tour includes James Bond Island, Elephant Trekking, Sea canoeing, 2350 baht, and Phuket Fantasea Show performances with shuttle both 2300 baht. Wandered by chance is 1 in a few short hours actually met on the street with the aircraft departing to a couple of Shanghai, the other in Starbucks Cafe met live in Laguna of MM. In the evening, found the famous food market of the Night have suffered a superb seafood dinner and walk back to the hotel. Actually there's menu with Chinese characters.(2/28) we participated in the 3 in 1 Phang-Nga Bay Discovery tour.
Early on, we'll meet at the hotel waiting for the MINIVAN, waited for half an hour after an episode. A guide like lady told us that her guests are our tour guide picked up. So, she took us to a specified location to start again after switching the guests.First of all we came to the elephant Park, heavy elephant carrying us across the muddy swamps and dense bushes, a followed by a put us to the elephant garden show.
Indeed, the heavy elephant is very good in training, but we have no new weather. Water in Phang-Nga Bay restaurant used a group meal, to continue the activities of the two in the afternoon. This is our entire tourism in Phuket, the only time and others in the same table to eat, but also and foreigners are together. Although food in General, but to take this opportunity to hear the experiences of others in Phuket, most of us are a pair of Australia's ABC tells how to go to bargain, as we later days shopping increased wealth of experience. The next Sea canoeing is a Thailand boy watching a canoe, took us into one after another of the small cave. Since the stone is too low, and some places need people lay in a canoe to go. Sometimes you can see some giant salamander and bird's nest. James Bond Island is Phang-Nga Bay National Park, that like a cabbage-like "Goldfinger" attracted many tourists like us.Playing one day, we go to Patong town in the evening enjoy a Thai massage and foot massage each two hours.
The quote is 550 baht per person, I do not know the boss is wrong I mean that a bargain after our last price is 500 baht for two people. Although we pay, she cried noIs wrong, but finally we collected a total of 500 baht.(2/29) sleep sleep to wake up naturally, ate the hotel after breakfast, wrapped in cloth lying in the hotel's swimming pool for rest.
When I found it, in the hotel occupancy of many foreigners are they almost confined at home. Every morning started lying in the pool for the solarium or open umbrellas look at books. Feel hot to jump a few and then turning around the swimming pool, bar waitress always smiling sent to blow on drink, of course not free. We do, day in the hotel waiting for the evening were going to Phuket Fantasea Show.It is worth mentioning that this lunch.
At first I had introduced a free coupon for dinner, but it is clear that for dinner. As the evening has been arranged, I went and talked to the Manager of the restaurant for lunch. Readily agreed to, we relaxed sitting in the dining room to drink a watermelon juice waiting for our two sets of free food. Strange things here, waiting around for nearly an hour, the waiter served up for four people eat food, but also include a seafood baskets with prawns, fish, crabs and many of the cuttlefish. In my memory, we point set cuisine seems not to have this dish, but the point of some food and don't seem to have on the whole. There is no waiter can ask anyway to eat. Fine seafood after eating, there are four main dish do not know how to deal with, although I usually love Curry, but somehow, this food is tasteless. After use, the waiter took Bill, ideological prepared I looked at billing, only drink costs food free of charge. I gracefully sign the Bill, and more to the point tips. The waiter also pleased the way sound "Thank you, very much," yet I has asked, with the list. Out of the restaurant, inadvertently seen in the refrigerator and I have a lot of seafood baskets, top of the sign in large brushes wrote "Seafood Basket net", like 600B we earn.Phuket Fantasea Show evening pick is the all time most observed in the car, almost a point not to we rushed into the car.
45 minutes later, at the entrance to our drop down. Immediate instantly on the door of the building seemed batch on holiday costumes, colourful, colorful, tourists have beaten but order systematicorder. Starting from ticket out, some staff came to greet each ticket user, lovingly asked "where are you from?" Then led us to buy tickets on the window, and put us to the Guide Map Department to explain each and every visitor. Getting started, like entering a Carnival playground was some entertainment programs and numerous gifts. Of course the Fantasea theme is built around an elephant, gifts and entertainment programme contents is inseparable from it. The entire subject area of the Park is not a big place, did not go a few steps to the seat of the Palace tonight show of the Elephants Theatre and across from The Golden Kinnaree Buffet Restaurant. Two buildings of momentum is rather impressive. From the show itself, it is the application of the Broadway stage design and lighting, is a section of the Thailand legend and modern magic, acrobatics, and fully develop the Thai culture elephant image to play the role of publicity and contrast. I don't want to say too much ink in the program, but want to talk about their management.First, each entry, must be in the left chest stick on your purchase of tickets at the box office, it is each visitor in the ten to a gate.
Each entrants must hand over the camera, camera, binoculars, and even now the popular mobile phones with camera shoots and so on, because the field is not allowed to shoot. These articles will each, two parts into one large black bag, staff will send a digitally signs of different colors. To finish, each passenger first with mark on color recognition to claim back the window, there are some staff help you to identify. A capacity of 3000 spectators theater, its time to reclaim their goods than the speed of our supermarket, which is also fast and scientific management and trained personnel are inseparable!(3/1) still sleep to wake up naturally with breakfast is packed up the luggage.
Hotel business was very good, never late check out, noon to settle all bills, deposit the baggage door dry today one of the most critical one thing certain, that is shopping.I just made a mistake I without reading Bank exchange rates is to last House pulls some money, which know only a short lag between several days USD exchange rate would drop by 5 points.
Then compares several later changed something, then I think it is the Bank's foreign exchange transactions are calculated per second, although tourists are fixed in terms of exchange rates, but that changes as the RMB to us so little, Thailand's foreign exchange regime and China may be different.Coastal Beach road there is a call on Ocean plaza shopping center on the ground floor of a Big 1 supermarket, Ocean plaza's size and the display of merchandise is far less domestic stores, almost all brands in the country have seen.
My wife's consumer interest lies in the women's underwear counters, members may have more or less heard of such goods in Thailand's price is better, in this type of counter consumer groups almost mostly Chinese tourists, Yes just a few of you are saying about Mandarin female compatriots Racing each other. The souvenirs of counters, interesting is his different counters of the same goods prices could vary, obviously rental counter but not on price. On the ground floor and Hualian and Lianhua almost the size of the Big 1, find me a favorite color, and Thai curry pasteCuisine in the famous Tom Yum Kom seasoning BHP with coconut flour. Then we go into the heartland of the Bangla road, has found a home in Ocean plaza. Enter a question turned out to be interlocked operations, but sells souvenirs or different and the price is not the same. Crazy after the sweep aside, it's filled with dried fruit and various small gift bag back to the hotel.Oh, except for two persons at the airport tax 1000 baht outside money can play a bit.
So he went to the restaurant for lunch yesterday lit a seafood baskets, poured on beer, Mimi and commodities with lobster and other delicacies, enjoy our last in Thailand for a candlelight dinner. Restaurant waiter still with a smile, when I asked about yesterday's recipe for that and I ordered is not at the same time, she scared to tell me since the restaurant's menu changed, but not replace, the chef made a mistake a few dishes as compensation gave a seafood baskets, she again sorry fear our dishes. When you know that we are about to leave, and expressed his regret.In the evening, landing on the hotel's free airport by car, prepare 3/2 to 2: 40 flight back to Shanghai.
Travel tips:
1. as part of the free line, first of all to be prepared for is the cost will be higher than with the group.
2. then to carefully determine their own travel arrangements, preparing for a few nights, where you live.
Because as long as there is ample preparations can really not possible. Have time to read other people's travels to learn from others ' experience.3. the ticket cost is important proportion or very high, so try to find some relationships.
4. Turning to the accommodation of this trip, the hotel costs to account for 20%.
Our experience tells me that the hotel online are not necessarily better than a direct local talk about, but also through the agent is not necessarily better than direct to the hotel set to high, but I think that as long as the trip on the little change in advance online also shop around, always better than there turning around carrying luggage to be happy. Of course, I haven't had a chance to try the local Tour agent there, but if you want to try the key word or do you want to do was be prepared. For example, we at PP Island last night compatriots, they encountered by local Tour agent section room, because it's not clear the room type is set to a Superior room also thought it was facing the sea. Want to know some of the worst hotels Thailand is Superior room. Available at many of the recommended several www.phuket.com,www.phi-phi.com,www.latestays.com, anyway like hotel to compare several set again. Sometimes different sites will have a price difference of 500 baht a night.5. the hotel and airfare costs add up to and domestic freedom line price make a comparison, soon discovered is better.
6. in addition, I recommend to go before the addition of the US dollar, international credit card, and then bring it to our RMB case.
Another proposal for a me-first national bank swap point baht reserve.7. bring the necessary medical kits for emergencies.
In addition, essential balm is essential.8. the most important point is to learn how to bargain, the generality of the story when it on Australia's ABC told us during our dinner Night market food can bargain, we almost dumbfounded.
In the resort, remember this. If not, either as prepared by the "Tsam" or go to Xiangyang Road market experience. My bloody lesson is that we used to eat music restaurant prices ate Night food market.9. I think my important experience and understanding of the above listed, if improper or please forgive me.
I wish this article to share with like-minded persons, also hopes to bring your experiences and insights to share with me. This trip I appreciate most is, regardless of when I was carrying a bag on the road, hotel dinner, or traveling, locals see I will ask "Are you from Japan?" ，“Are you from Singapore?” , Or "Hong Kong Are you from?" and nobody asked "Are you from China?". My wish is that more people can truly to go abroad to enjoy life, also relied on in order to promote our tourism industry.Before the end of the article, tell you my emai address is sjiang29@hotmail.com.
