everything was wonderful
I really liked the island, very different from Pattaya. This is a place for a relaxing family holiday, although there are also entertainment facilities and you can visit them in the evening. I have been several times and will definitely go again.
Clean beautiful beaches, delicious food, shops for Russians and even a place where you can spend time with the kids.
I will try to describe in detail so that you can navigate the place.
But there is a place where you can buy real Thai things: latex pillows and mattresses, Thai cosmetics and medicinal products, teas, natural leather products (bags, wallets, belts, etc. ).
I tried to buy Thai cosmetics in shops, but this is not it. It's like us, there are cheap cosmetics in supermarkets, but there are good and effective products. Real oil (coconut, lotus, etc. ) can only be bought in a specialized store, and there is only one on the island on Klon Prao beach. Shop "Kochang Latex". Here is a link to their website, you can look or write to the email address, they will definitely answer. I did. Thais, like ours, sell everything and everywhere, but is it possible to sell creams and other cosmetics at such a temperature on the street. I even keep everything in the fridge at home. Therefore, in the store "Kochang Latex" there are more chances to buy natural, fresh and high-quality goods. Most importantly, they will give a description for each jar and bottle in Russian. and is it important. On my first trips, I bought everything in supermarkets, barely translated it at home and was horrified. I didn’t need products for oily hair, freckles and other things, I spent money in vain, so it’s better to take what you need and where you need it, then do not regret it.
I bought one latex pillow, opened it at the hotel and immediately slept on it. The neck did not hurt, and I liked the shape. I haven't tried washing yet, and it's too early. The pillow is good, at first my husband refused, but now at home I sometimes move it. Gotta buy it next time. I didn't buy a mattress, but I will definitely buy one. In the store you can lie down and choose, very convenient. Prices are different, you can choose according to your means. The certificate is given, so you can be sure of the quality. My friends who went and bought it are all happy.
I also bought wallets there for myself, my sister and my aunt. Everyone liked it. There are plenty for men too. I already have 3 bags, I could not resist. In the shops on the street, the bags are not natural to the touch, and the Thais cannot explain anything.
; There are many cafes and eateries on the street. But if you do not say that without spices, then there are too many of them and it is impossible to eat. We liked the Russian diner near the Kochang Latex shop. Recently opened. there is both Russian food and Thai food. Everything is written in Russian. What I remember, I can write. All sorts of porridges, pickles, lard !!!!!!!!! , Olivier, borscht, chicken soup, okroshka is very tasty, mashed potatoes, steaks, French-style meat, and a lot more. Cooked quickly and tasty. There are also Thai dishes, it is better to try them, otherwise the Thais are very spicy. And then, when you already know the taste, you can eat in other places. Beer, vodka, juice and more. I really liked the watermelon shake, I drank every day. Very tasty, and not expensive, we have golden fresh juices.
Thai cafes are also delicious, but you need to clearly say in English what you want. I explained it as best I could, but instead of shrimp, it turned out to be chicken in soup. Ate, tasty, but not what I asked for. Thais do not translate the menu well, read it yourself, sometimes it is even written funny.
Supermarket, where you can make hot dogs yourself, brew their noodles and go to the hotel.
; Elephant riding, bathing with elephants, various excursions around the islands, but it's up to you to decide who to buy from. You can have guides, but you can on the spot. But in the rain or when you want to sit in a restaurant, but the children do not want to sit, there is a place. All in the same place nearby on the second floor above the Russian diner.
