Experience paradise now
My husband and I are simply in love with Phi Phi Island (Thailand). This year, our trip was specially calculated in such a way that we would get to this paradise on my husband's birthday. Even at home on the Internet chose the hotel "Arayaburi Resort". And they didn't regret it. The hotel consists of individual bungalows, each overlooking the sky-blue lagoon and the surrounding hills. Around the hotel area is a tropical forest with monkeys, colorful birds and other (non-dangerous) inhabitants of the jungle. And what silence there! Only the sound of the sea and the singing of birds! Petrol and diesel vehicles are prohibited on this island. Only bicycles. The island is not big: it can be sailed by boat in 2 hours.
Each bungalow consists of a large room with a shower and a huge veranda. It has sun loungers and chairs with a table. If you want, lie down, sunbathe, and if you want, you can drink the milk of a freshly fallen coconut at the table. The rooms are cleaned every day, leaving about 7 clean towels plus 2 for the beach, as well as various bathing accessories and drinking water. There is a kettle in the room. Sugar, cream, coffee and tea are brought in every day. The TV showed, it seems, 10 channels, but we rarely turned it on, because. spent all the time on the beach or in the pool when the tide was strong.
The beach and sea of Phi Phi is an endless topic. Anyone who has seen the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio will understand. By the way, this movie was filmed just on this island. Whoever has not seen him, let him remember the Bounty advertisement. It is the same. The sand is white, clean, and if it gets wet, it crunches like snow. Palm trees are tall and well-groomed. And the sea is azure and moderately warm. If you go into the water up to the neck, you can see the toes.
The best beach in Phi Phi is Long Beach. The sea smoothly goes into the depths. The bottom is made of small corals and, which is nice, without stones. The sand on the beach is clean and white to such an extent that if you look for a long time, your eyes get tired of the brightness. Those who care for this beach provide free sunbeds and umbrellas, and if you overslept and the umbrellas are busy, you can always sit under the greenery. There is enough of it on this beach.
What was surprising was the ebb and flow. In the morning, where the water was waist-deep, in the evening you can play football. People take advantage of this and collect shells and corals at this time. Therefore, after 16.00 we went to the pool. It is very well located. Jungle around. Almost into the pool itself, bananas hang from palm trees and coconuts fall. And there are many orange flowers around: a bird of paradise. Really beautiful.
From the hotel to the "civilized center" is only 10 minutes on foot. There are many shops, Internet cafes, massage, diving clubs, discos and even a fitness center. Everything is relatively inexpensive. And if you buy fruits and marine life in the market yourself, then it generally costs a penny.
What can I add… Go there if you really need a rest! And if you also need a break from communicating with twins. On Phi Phi there are always no more than one or two Russian-speaking couples. At the same time, you will not be left without impressions that you have not experienced before! Thailand itself is beautiful and interesting, but this island is its most amazing gem! And the hotel "Arayaburi Resort" will give you complete comfort, while not limiting your unity with nature.
Give yourself pleasure! Live in paradise now.
Now we fly alone, everything is ok, I advise everyone not to be lazy !!! It is not difficult at all: buy plane tickets, book a hotel (most hotels meet tourists at the airport by car - Free), all tours can be booked on the spot. Friends, do not be lazy and organize a decent holiday on your own - without nerves.
Тепер літаємо самі, все ок, всім раджу не лінуватись !!! Зовсім не важко: купити білети на літак, забронювати готель (більшість готелів зустрічає туристів в аєропорту з машиною - Безкоштовно), всі екскурсі можна замовити на місці. Друзі не лінуйтесь та організовуйте собі достойний відпочинок самостійно - без нервів.
Well, let's talk. For those who read "Horror, I do not advise." I wrote the review back in Zanzibar, but there was a weak internet, it didn't boot and I saved it on my laptop, cleaned my laptop and came across it, so I decided to tell people about the unscrupulous agency. When we returned home, it was very bad weather, we landed 4 times, the plane landed not in Zhulyany (where they should), we circled in the sky for over an hour and did not know what would happen to us. So of course when we returned home we were already on an unscrupulous tour company that does not know how to choose partners for cooperation, we were very grateful to the professional pilots. (By the way, it is strange that the tour company is not interested in the impressions of customers about the trip after returning home, it is probably in its interest to ask the customer impressions, find out how their partners work - are they responsible…?) was where, the flight was a direct hotel one.
But of course we arrived and found out that it is cheaper than we were told… well, we decided that, we are to blame - next time it is better to look at the price. But even then the punctuality of "Journey in a Dream" was impressive, almost always Ms. Worker (I understand that it was the director) was not there, although pre-arranged a meeting, so it was almost every visit waited for about an hour - we joked " this is definitely a feature of the agency - happy people do not look at the times. "
Ну що, поговоримо. Для тих хто читав "Ужас, не раджу". Відгук написала ще в Занзібарі, та там був слабкий інтернет, не завантажився і зберігся на ноутбуці, чистила ноут і натрапила – тому вирішила що треба розповісти людям про недобросовісне агентство. Коли повернулися додому, то була дуже погана погода 4 рази заходили на посадку, літак приземлили не в Жулянах (де повинні), ми понад годину кружляли в небі і не знали що з нами буде. Тому звичайно повернувшись додому нам було вже однаково на недобросовісну тур фірму яка не вміє обирати партнерів для співпраці, ми були дуже вдячні професійним пілотам. ( До речі дивно що тур фірма не цікавиться враженням клієнтів про подорож після повернення додому, певне це в її інтересах розпитати у клієнта враження, дізнатися як працюють їхні партнери - чи відповідальні …?) Коли літали перший раз, там і «косячити» оператору не було де, рейс був без пересадок готель один. Та звісно прилетівши ми дізналися що коштує він дешевше ніж нам озвучили…ну ми вирішили таке, самі винні – наступного разу краще дивитись ціну. Та вже тоді пунктуальність "Подорож у мрії" вражала, майже завжди пані Працівниці (я так розумію що то і була директор) не було на місці, хоча заздалегідь домовлялися про зустріч, так було майже при кожному візиті чекали якось до години – ми шутили « це певне фішка така в агенції – щасливі на часи не дивляться».
Another time it was fun, we ordered a tour, we had to join a team of 6-8 people for 3 days. We chose in detail which route to join us, chose the most interesting route for ourselves. We asked that only Ukrainians be in the group - you told us that we can't arrange it, most likely there will be Russian-speaking people from different countries. But in fact - we were met by a car with a driver and a guide and they drove us for two or three days, on a completely different route, all the most expensive tours for which we have already paid for the idea - they passed in a strange way. And on the last day there was a "circus" we were brought to some hotels and we waited there for half a day for a bus that took tourists to the airport collecting around the island, so the last day was completely transferred - got a day on the road, although the hotel could be reached by car in 4 years. So we decided - well, it happens that in general it's great that there were two.
Although they had to think - they paid for one thing, they made a reservation - they got something completely different. DO NOT GO THERE ANYMORE. But we were lazy and came to the third, lazy to look for a new agency, for which we paid. So friends, do not use this agency, look for the best !!!
Іншого разу вийшло кумедно, замовили екскурсійний тур, нас мали доєднати до команди з 6-8 осіб на 3 дні. Ми детально обирали до якого маршруту нас долучити, вибрали найцікавіший для себе маршрут. Просили щоб у групі були лише Українці – Ви нам сказали що не можемо це улаштувати, швидше за все будуть російськомовні люди з різних країн. Та за фактом – нас зустріла машина з водієм і гідом і вони нас два три дні катали, зовсім за іншим маршрутом, всі найдорожчі екскурсії за які ми по ідеї вже заплатили – вони дивним чином проминули. А в останній день був взагалі «цирк» нас привезли в якісь готелі і ми там пів дня чекали автобус що віз в аеропорт туристів збираючи по всьому острову, отже останній день перевели повністю – отримали добу в дорозі, хоча з готелю могли доїхати машиною за 4 години. Тож ми вирішили – ну таке, буває, загалом класно що були двоє. Хоча мали подумати – платили за одне, обмовляли – отримали зовсім інше. НЕ ЙДИТИ БІЛЬШЕ ТУДИ. Та ми ледачі і прийшли в третє, ліньки було шукати нове агентство, за що і поплатилися. Тож друзі не користуйтесь цим агентством, шукайте кращі !!!
I hope you find exactly your agency and all other trips will be only successful.
Надеюсь, вы найдете именно свое агенство и все остальные путешествия будут только успешными.
