Bangkok-Phuket PP8 day tours detailed record 8. terrible on the mountain road

17 February (this is a sad day)

Morning visit to Phuket Airport Asia 12: 55 back to Bangkok, Bangkok 14: 05.

Bangkok airport, take line 2 to rely on the road.

Going to live on a mountain road at night. Since this is the global gathering place for backpackers, we also want to see what is. The results we want to say "If you give me one more chance, killed and I no longer live on mountain roads!":)

We can make room on the road without prior, proved to be very wrong.

Low season: how we don't know, but in the peak season if you're not intended, and it seems like we're almost on the streets. Our country simply rely on the mountain's website (www.khaosanroad.com) picked a few looks good hotel, copied address phone ready to call to Bangkok, 11-12, section 17, the room should be no problem, originally dozen past all the "Sorry, the room is full," like to see better D & D inn had told us the entire month of February, the room are full. As a result we had to turn the telephone yellow pages one by one hit in the past, and finally in a place called Nat GuestHouse provides an air-conditioned standard rooms.

17, we dragged his luggage was only just found the damn Nat GuestHouse, walk into the downstairs restaurant we have heart, TA, because here worn as a small restaurant in rural China, the black table, is full of debris, actually many foreigners sit and drink beer or reading a book, not complacent.

Proprietress of a face no resistance to us air conditioning standard room no, only electric fans, let's look at the room, if a satisfactory stay. Miss Mr. follow service up the stairs, down his face risk of black Qi, said to me, "go, this is my life seen the worst room, we cannot live". Later he describes, this room big bed is made of three small bed up, fan not a ceiling fan and a shake of the fan, the so-called independent toilet is in the room with brick masonry of one small compartment, but even on a brick never wipe, cement and the whole room was on the balcony of an illegal buildings like the room. I almost fainted, just ahead of us there are three foreigners check-in, really do not understand how they handle it.

We also may wish to get away from this horrible hotel.

But this street is a hotel like this, there are several look a bit like point looks like, go ask are full. Day hot people face sweat, dragging luggage to walk in this street are miserable, but fortunately we in a nearby looks good hotel (Siam Oriental) to find a room with air conditioning, bathrooms, BBF's big bed room 630 baht/night, but there was no hot water bath, cold water showers only, we have no hesitation to this room. Into a room, it is awfully poor, this so-called standard room is even worse than the hostels in Nanjing. Old room very small, wider than the bed mattress, quilt, a bedspread made quilts, the old air conditioner Roof also have ceiling fans, not on television, room and bathroom are very small and the Windows were broken wooden, room window is rumbling air conditioning outside the machine, good in bed sheets and pillowcases have fairly clean no odor. We have never lived so bad "standard room", and the hotel is on the cards or the price of a room or exterior have been considered very good.

Rock on the road more joy, full of Occidental, or between individual Asian.

Road is not long, it is worn on both sides of the House, everyone lived in this House. Rupture of the House towards street facade is the restaurant or a bar, a large number of foreigners are crowded in there drinking eating. The road is all kinds of cheap clothes, sandals, discs, fake Nike sport shoes, small jewelry ADI of stalls, there are all sorts of carts snacks, various documents are forged stalls flagrant touting, can do a variety of false identity papers, diplomats, diving licences and so on.

Break room destroyed our good mood, we had a look around, not in the mood to go play.

Out of the three foreigners when dragging large package packet is looking for a hotel, I couldn't help thinking of herself just miserable like and would like to call them and tell them we have the hotel room, but they didn't ask for export. And so we drove two hours to eat supper days are dark, I actually also rely on the road nearby met these three men, or dragging luggage. I decided if you return to our hotel room to see there, I tell them to come out. When we returned to the hotel, I suddenly saw the total stage red wrote several large "Room ' s full." Facing the street, I really feel like shouting, "these people are crazy, why did you get here!"

(Live on the mountain road near the street stalls)

(Also by mountain near the street, this stuff is similar to China's mala)

(Color of noodles (rice noodles), we didn't dare buy, look like pigment dyeing, let's think of domestic food safety issues)
