Хороший сетевой отель Good chain hotel

Although we chose the hotel in a hurry, we do not regret it for a second. Cons-1. a very small wardrobe, but for many years, apart from shorts and T-shirts, they did not take anything with them, so this is not a problem for us2. Beach towels are changed only once a day3. No toothbrushes, slippers or bathrobes.
Everything else is in order - decent breakfasts (unless, of course, you eat 20 meals in the morning), by the way, breakfasts from 4-00 in the morning until 11-00, it’s also convenient when you are going on an excursion, a good pool (there is enough for children, although I don’t understand why parents keep them there all day), daily cleaning in the morning (if you hang a sticker on the door from the corridor) or in the afternoon, if you don’t, white towels thrown on the floor in the shower room are also changed every day, beach towels are changed from 4-00 in the morning at the reception, the balconies are small, but if you are not a hippopotamus, then there is a table and two chairs easy to sit at sunset, eat fruit, drink tea (kettle and mugs + sugar, coffee and tea are added daily), at the reception there is a Russian-speaking girl called Melissa, she will always tell you everything and will help, to the beach if you go left past the fountain with elephants, then go min.
20, if you leave the hotel and turn right, then along the stink river (by the way, it smells less in the morning), then at a calm pace min. 10. (an old Kata Beach sign hangs across the stinky river). Around the hotel and to the right and left every 50m. exchangers, it's better to walk around and find higher numbers, we were lucky in the first kiosk to the left - it was 35.91, we decided to change 100 dollars for a start. how many did not go to the right and to the left everywhere it was at least a penny but lower. With Visa credit cards (simple visa cards work if you made a call to your bank branch in advance and indicated your stay in Thailand), they work without problems, but stumbled upon such a thing, if you pay in shops or restaurants, then in addition to the traditional royal commission 200 baht even from a penny, even from 10.000 baht, they take more interest from above and not small even above these 200 baht!

Therefore, having found out this immediately at the ATMs at the exit of the hotel and on the right and left right on the porch, they removed 10.000 baht and the commission was only 200 baht. (First, Melissa kindly helped how to manage it).
Special attention to ANEX with whom we flew in, there is a representative office in the hotels, Yulia and another Turk are sitting there, they don’t press much with excursions, but even if they bought from them (which we did), it’s still complete indifference to tourists. The last joke is that if you bought excursions from them in the amount of 170 dollars.
, then you will be handed a basket of fruits upon departure, when paying for the excursion they issued a check separately for fruits, they said to keep it and that they will hand it on the way to the airport, so I want to draw your attention to the fact that they really handed a box with a green papaya, a tiny pineapple, a dragon's eye, two green mangoes , the fruits in the box are all hanging out, but where they were handed over, you can buy everything you want and add neatly to the box, here was a trap - literally everything that was sold there was three, and what was twice as expensive as you would have bought near the hotel, but the box was already in their hands and everyone rushed to fill it, buy scotch tape and pack it there, the girls from Aneh loudly announced that they would not have to pay extra for the weight of these fruits if they were overweight at the airport, everyone almost believed, but ...
on registration, an explanation with a representative of Thai laws, even in good English, did not have any effect, and only those who did not hand over their check, but simply presented it for issuance, calmly passed the weighing of these boxes, so my advice is not useless. And also about our tour operators so beloved in the Russian Federation, of course, we were informed about the postponement of the flight in advance, but no one said that we were flying back not from Phuket, but from Krabi, this is a surprise for us, so read the information more carefully about the departure, and the representatives themselves calmly told us that if you yourself get to the airport by taxi, you can check in the room as expected by 12-00 and then after dinner you can take a taxi yourself, and only by a lucky chance we all did not scatter around the numbers in the hope of more half a day to swim, and out of the corner about Krabi and found out that it was almost four hours to go to this airport !!

In short, it was not a flight, but torture, another silence in the face of the girl Katya at the airport quickly wished us a happy journey, explained how you enter the building after the inspection, look for TVs at the registration desks with your flight number, and ...tests for suckers began , firstly, there are no electronic racks at all in this airport, cardboard boxes with numerous names just hang above the ceiling, when our flight number finally appeared on the general board in the center of the hall three hours later, the people, children, the elderly were all already like boiled vegetables from chaotic movements around the hall with luggage from rack to rack, and almost brutalized our tourists simply fell down under the onslaught of each other and their own carts. That the escort was so busy that she didn’t even get off the bus and drove off, was it difficult to wait for the registration to start and calmly lead people to the right counter ?? ? I wanted to kill this Aneh at that moment.
To whom my experience is useful, please note that the children need to buy something to eat on the road, since there was nothing else to eat at the intermediate stop after three hours of travel except for TOM YAM, sharp like cholera, before they paid for it themselves, well, still soda and juices for cash .
And we really liked the sea, though once we came at low tide. and stumbled upon the famous biting plankton in the water, then found a low tide map for January on the Internet and did not repeat any more nonsense, went to the beach only during high tides or max. water, more unpleasant plankton did not come across.
