Going to Phuket on vacation, we knew for sure that we would spend a couple of days in some very secluded place. We chose this "recreation center" in the best sense, and not for two days, but for three nights. It was at the end of May 2012, the weather was beautiful, the sea was just magically beautiful, calm, I wanted to share the feeling of happiness with my friends. And we brought them here! We booked through Agoda, separately attributed the request, if possible, to give us the bungalow where we were in May, and we were handed the key to it! Beloved friends settled in the next. These houses are good because they stand at the very end of the territory, in a corner behind the trees, ten meters from the sea.
Bungalow. Not too big room with two huge beds, the three of us lived there. Synula was generally gorgeous, my husband and I could not meet at all in our bed : ). Conveniences: a normal shower room with a sink and a "white friend", the water is only "cold", hot is not needed there, no one was going to arrange washing. Judging by the photos from the site, there are rooms with wardrobes, but you go there with a couple of rags that fit on a shelf. A separate joy is the veranda at the entrance with a podium where you can sit or lie down, looking at the sea. During the intense heat in May, it was cool there, you could take a nap. A funny nuance: there is electricity only from six in the evening to seven in the morning, so there are no refrigerators, instead of air conditioners there are two fans. In February, the temperature was so comfortable, the breeze was blowing from the sea, we did not turn on the fans. Due to the lack of a refrigerator, water and fruits were stored on the veranda, covered with a wet towel - they are perfectly preserved, the main thing is to pack all the sweets almost tightly so that the ants do not come running.
Food in cafes, prices are higher than on the mainland, of course, drinks cost about the same. A morning omelette for one hundred and twenty rubles makes it possible not to think about food until four or five hours, the portion is huge and includes a salad plus a couple of toasts with butter and jam. The tom yamchik is average, but the moquel fish is excellent, beer, chips, water are on sale. At the same time, people are well aware that you can suddenly want to eat, lying on the beach. Therefore, you just call the number of your bungalow, sometimes you just write in the journal that you took your number as well, payment upon departure. The guys who work there are friendly and very friendly.
If you look at the map, you will see that the beach where this glorious hotel is located is on the opposite side of the bay, where large boats from the mainland sail. The beach adjoins a rather steep slope covered with jungle, trails are laid so that you can climb up, watch the sunset, at the town that is located on the isthmus between the two parts of the island and, if you wish, take a walk into it. There are three observation platforms, there are signs. They were amazed that the passage turned out to be paid, twenty baht, this was not the case in May, apparently "so that the failure does not fall through, " but the gardeners did a great job, they made the plot very pretty. There are vegetable gardens with peppers, bananas and coconuts on the pass, where you can buy something to drink and have a bite to eat. Most importantly, there are people! On the first evening, we climbed to watch the sunset, and on the way back we managed to get lost, although we were sure that we knew the roads, we already had them! It gets dark quickly, it is better to have a lantern with you, by the way, there are lanterns in the bungalow. A nice lady with a monkey in her arms explained the direction to us, got out.
We walked into the town. Everything, as everywhere else, rows with goods for sale, souvenirs, a couple of "7-11", hotels. The streets are narrow, and they ride there not on bikes, but on bicycles. A bunch of eateries. If there is no desire to get there on foot, then you can simply sit near your hotel in a long tail (a long narrow boat, where the motor is located on the steering wheel) and swim. They didn’t swim towards the town, but sailed back only for the extortionate price of six hundred baht, but for five it’s not so deadly.
Taking advantage of the fact that the famous Phi Phi Ley is in direct line of sight, we decided to go on an excursion. Winning due to the fact that the clock swam to nine, when the main crowd has not yet run. The program was as follows: an hour on Maya Bay (where "The Beach" was filmed), then around the island with the opportunity to "snorkel" in a bay in the most beautiful water, then swim to Phi Phi Noi with the promise to see the Monkey Coast, and arrival back at the hotel in twelve. And the night before it stormed, the sea was restless. By morning it had subsided, but not too much. Well, everything was calm in the bays, but we had to snorkel closer to our hotel - there was a lot of chatter in the open sea. The fish are good, monkeys are found not only in a specially designated place, they are also found near the town - one pretty lady shuged them with the help of a slingshot. The cost of the walk was seven hundred from the nose.
Who is resting there. This time there were many children and Chinese. Separately struck by the French, who went with us on a tour with their three children. Age of children: three years old, two years old and a baby about eleven months old. The children immediately began to feel sick, but I must say that they behaved quite steadfastly. The rest of the children behaved calmly, they somehow had fun themselves, they did not strain those around them. There were many elderly citizens who simply came with pleasure to bask in the sun and swim in the pretty sea. In May, the picture was different, mostly the audience was about thirty, forty years old, four times less, all quiet, in the evenings with laptops they wandered closer to the cafe, Wi-Fi at least somehow works there, and quietly hung out on the Internet. There are discos and other joys in the town on the isthmus, if you want to get there, there is no particular problem.
A wonderful gecko, thirty centimeters long, showed up in the bungalow of our friends, let it be admired, photographed, then fled with a clatter.
Sea. Well, we are experienced people, so we had coral slippers and fish bread with us. And snorkel masks. Actual during low tide, so as not to run into hedgehogs. The sand is coral, not perfectly white, but cool, the water is luxurious.
How did they get there. We printed out our order with the dates and the name of the hotel, contacted the reception of the hotel where we lived, paid this time for a thousand (in May it cost one thousand two hundred), we were issued a receipt, according to which we were taken from the hotel in the morning, taken to the port by minibus , put on a three-deck boat and brought to the island. There, right on the pier, there were guys with a banner with the name of the hotel they were looking for, they loaded the clothes into a long tail and brought them to the desired beach. It cost two hundred and fifty rubles. In the same way, you could contact any travel agency on the street.
I don’t know how long it takes to get tired of this place, but our vacation is still limited, so we rested for three days. It could have been more.
