Тай в феврале Tai in February

Ride a month ago with her husband in Thailand. As usual, the hotel was chosen from Phuket, we like this island. And it does not look like a garbage dump for the thrifty - Pattaya. The choice was made mainly from the tours offered in Natalie, we have been going through them for the fifth year and so far there have been no punctures. After a week of searches, they were flattered by the INDIGO PEARL five, which is on Nai Yang. After reading the reviews, we were a little worried that the airport was nearby, but like many reviews, the ones we read turned out to be a soap bubble - well, yes, you can see how the planes land and take off, but there is no noise. The hotel has a beautiful territory, it is more correct, of course, to call it a park, you can just get lost. What I did on the third day in the evening, because I suffer from geographical idiocy, and I forgot the map of the territory by the pool. But she was rescued by a Thai knight from the servants, found and taken out))) The architecture of the hotel could be a topic for a candidate, I, as a non-specialist, cannot describe it, you must either see it live or at least in photos. Such a mix of tradition and urbanism, and as a result it’s very cool, in two weeks the eye didn’t get bored at all. The room we were given a decent area for two, forty meters. As we understood from the conversation with the inhabitants of the reception, the hotel has a sufficient number of larger rooms. At first, due to the innate breadth of my nature, I longed for stone chambers, but then, due to the well-acquired practicality of life, I coveted an additional payment. Somewhere seven hundred rubles. And it’s true, what for, it’s necessary to accumulate dust in the corners and play hide and seek. The maids, unlike the lazy Turkish floor wipers, are unusually hardworking and diligent. During the entire vacation, I never had to complain to the reception about the service staff. We did not remain in debt and left tips regularly, and Babaev's chocolates were accepted with joy by the locals. Public catering is represented by several establishments, we liked the grill the most. Sea reptiles on the coals, but with hot sauce! It's a pity that beer in Tae is not an art object, you can drink it to quench your thirst, but you can't get such a buzz as with "kö lsh" or Prague's "twelve". We had breakfast when at the hotel, when on the beach in cafes. We dined almost always in different establishments. We had dinner when at the hotel, when we also traveled. I wanted to try different things, try everything - shrimp, crabs, octopus, fish, lamb, melting rice and all this with unusual sauces, freshly squeezed juices, in the fresh air, to the sound of the ocean surf. Now here until the end of spring on a diet. ))) Of course, the Thais are the favorites of their gods, there are not many places where all the food is wonderful, unusually fresh and inexpensive. Returning after this to Moscow shawarma and dumplings is simply terrible. We took a trip to the Similan Islands, we have long wanted to. And not because of J. Bond, but simply this is one of the best sea trips. And so they mostly gave themselves to swimming and sunbathing, with breaks for massage and spa. The hotel's beach is equipped, as it should be for a five-star hotel: sun loungers, towels, umbrellas, everything is in abundance, everything glitters and sparkles in the sun. What's nice is that you don't have to break before breakfast and take a seat. Once my husband managed to negotiate with local fishermen and they took him with them, of course, they didn’t let him drag the fish out of the water, but there were enough positive emotions anyway. Not too far away there is a coral with all sorts of beautiful fish. My husband seduced me twice to visit him. I am afraid to dive at all, but even if you lie on the water, you can admire the wonderful living creatures through the glasses of the mask. And the husband dived and on the shore regretted that he was too lazy to buy an aquabox for a camera before the vacation. We bought it two days before departure, when we were shopping in Bangkok. He'll catch up on his next trip. And that we will go to Tai again, that's for sure. )))
