In April 2007, PP Thailand Phuket Island Tour---2

Arrived in Phuket Airport is 17: 30, elation with sitting day aircraft exhausted, luggage, and immediately.

Soon I heard HY couple crying see airport pickup, we all breathed a sigh of relief.

From the airport to the hotel takes 40 minutes by car, driver Mr Zhong begin and we chat, he asked us is not the first time in Phuket and then say if you want to exchange currency, you can find him, 1: 4, we see to the airport.

Then he tells us very little local taxi, because local many tutu cars are Muslims, to secure their livelihoods, have raised the collective to the Thailand Government has blocked taxi number, Chung at the same time remind tutu car is not very safe, if we need to rent a car, you can find him. I asked him about a package of 10 car day price is 1500 Eastern Beach in Alba Bhat/day; Alba East Beach outside attractions 2000 baht/day; if you go to PP islands including lunch, 2000 baht/person. As newcomers to, I'm not afraid to pick up, waiting for the hotel and everyone together.

Graceland hotel will soon appear in front of us, 19: 00: 00, and it was already dark.

Hotel front desk to our 5 rooms are scattered in different buildings and floors, known as the five-star hotel much let me down (later asked to know is the 4-star hotel, ctrip and our travel agent are annotated is five-star hotel). 15 minutes downstairs collection, we have to solve three problems, currency exchanges, 1, 2, dinner, 3-length of tomorrow.

One side of the hotel lobby has a Tour Desk, sensitive I immediately went to inquire about climbing Cliff Bay tourism things, after consultation, to 1500 baht/person for a day trip, including riding an elephant, a long tail boat, twin rubber dinghies (throat), wofosi, round-trip Hotel Shuttle and a shore lunch.

After that, the price is very fair.

Alba East Beach night is beautiful, the air mixed with the fresh scent of the sea, we prepare 10 individuals to downtown, it is estimated that only 10 minutes away.

The road side is covered with small shops, restaurants, pubs, convenience stores, the hotel. By the way, Phuket, on the respect of driver to tourists, let's all feel more comfortable. Because little traffic, crossing, automobile, motorcycle, tutu cabs, they will slow down the speed, and so we had followed accelerate, this treatment at home rarely enjoy.

Comrades have extremely hungry eyes never stop search for dining, while Pocket hasn't baht.

Finally found a suitable currency exchange point, USD 1: 34.66, than the premium high point at the airport, we each Exchange a, 200 USD, showed satisfactory smile, HY couples would aim at a restaurant, they obstinately directly entered.

First dinner, I immediately ordered the coveted refreshingly soup, then prove that this restaurant although they are more expensive, but it's refreshingly soup is the best.

I have spent the night 255 baht, including freshly squeezed orange juice 70 baht, refreshingly soup 130 baht, 2 bowls of rice 40 baht (restaurant more advanced, rice is only a thin layer on a beautiful dish, spell a flower Orchid pattern), plus 7% service charge. Price is so-so, comrades said watermelon juice and coconut are good to drink, the price is 70 baht, especially watermelon juice glasses--curve beautiful celestial maiden, it is not surprising that men are too small, watermelon juice can not thirsty?

After we get round decided to walk back to the hotel, a one-day journey, tomorrow to get up early to climb up the Cliff Bay tour because the deposit paid, my amateur tour industry easily a lot of early return to hotel taste delicious fruit of Thailand.

Before I sign off, also a bit long-winded, this hotel's rooms Division service good, my girlfriend and I live in room air conditioning is very cold, the debugging invalid, rooms Division only please to debug, 5 minutes, my doorbell rang, and soon she was called the two Engineering Department personnel, they seriously check debugging is that after 5 minutes, I'm on their efficiency is very satisfactory.

Take a rest, I had to lie down and sleep.
