We rested at the Club Andaman Beach Resort. Impressions ONLY POSITIVE!! ! The hotel was chosen for a long time: I wanted the beach to be close, and the city center next to all its shops, restaurants, clubs, parties, and, of course, “cheaper price”))) I had not been to Thailand before (more and more Turkey, Egypt), so I hope that my review will help those who are going to this country for the first time. Or for the first time on the island of Phuket.

The hotel is located on Patong Beach: it is there, as they say, the most party place in Phuket. So, lovers of a quiet and secluded holiday are clearly not in the right place ...The territory is large and very beautiful! Incredibly helpful staff! No one speaks Russian, but even with basic knowledge of English, it is quite possible to communicate with them.

The beach is across the road, small but busy.

At the exit from the hotel, on the way to the beach, there is a wonderful shop "FAMILY MARKT", such a small supermarket where you can buy everything ...Beer "SINGHA" (as a true beer lover I can say that the beer is GREAT!! ! ) there twice cheaper than on the beach))) The sea is clean, with noticeable ebbs and flows, but not as pronounced as on some other beaches.

An important factor: Patong Beach is a place protected from the tsunami, because it is located, as it were, in a huge lagoon !! ! During the last tsunami, the buildings here were almost not affected, except for the windows shattered on the ground floors!!!

The food that hardworking Thais carry along the beach is delicious and no different from a restaurant! I strongly advise women to buy COCONUT OIL: it is also sold on the beach in small dark bottles. Very good for tanning: it lays down more evenly and lasts longer!
Restaurants in Patong for every taste: here are Russian cuisine (“Ksyusha's”), and Italian, and Indian (we liked it very much! ), And UAE cuisine, etc ....The restaurant "SAVOI" cooks the best seafood! As far as we heard, food in small "diners" is no worse than restaurant food and is three times cheaper, but we decided not to experiment. Dinner for two, consisting of a hot (boo-o-o-big dish for each! ), some salad, some cakes and, of course, SINGHA beer, costs somewhere around 500-700 baht (t ie approximately 500 rubles). In SAVOE it is more expensive, but freshly caught lobsters, crayfish and crabs are painfully good))) We ate exotic fruits and reveled in “fresh” (200 gr of any freshly squeezed juice - 20 baht, i. e. 15 rubles !! ! ) ...

Dollars-euro, by the way, were immediately changed to baht. There are a lot of exchangers in Patong! However (just in case! ) Rubles are not accepted ANYWHERE!!!
They didn’t dare to rent a car: in Thailand, left-hand traffic is also very chaotic !! ! We traveled long distances in tuk-tuks, local buses without windows or doors.

We visited the Thavorn Palm Beach Hotel, which we were supposed to go to, but it did not grow together: they refused. And they realized that, fortunately, they refused ..... It takes 15 minutes to get to the nearest civilization from this hotel by “tuk-tuk” !! ! Although the hotel itself, or rather its “five-star” part, made an impression: a very beautiful area!


Now about excursions. We were on a sightseeing tour (free, included in the price of the tour), on a Thai massage, on a transvestite show and on the Phi Phi Islands. For everything, about everything they gave about $ 500 for two. The Phi Phi Islands are just a fairy tale…. Some incredible beauty...You will lose a lot if you don't go there...The transvestite show left a strong impression: amazing costumes and scenery!! ! Worth seeing!!!!
Well, Thai massage is a different story… No one else, anywhere and will ever give you such a massage. However, it is better to do it not on the beach, but in a recently built large SPA center (ask your guide) or, at worst, in massage parlors, which are many in Patong.

In general, to say that we are satisfied with the trip is to say nothing!! ! Thailand is some kind of eternal holiday))) Next year, God willing, we will certainly fly again)))

If you have any questions - write, I will answer everyone and with pleasure: tanda007@yandex. en
HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY!! ! Tatiana, Alexander.
