В стране где много диких обезьян In a country where there are many wild monkeys

REAL REVIEW, read to the end; -)
Hooray! We're flying to heaven! We flew through the operator Delta-Travel (Kyiv), the meeting party in Thailand Orhid Travel-in Bangkok was met with a garland of orchids and a radiant smile. We were satisfied with the organization of the rest, even the transsexual guide in Bangkok did not overshadow our impressions of the capital and the country as a whole. The fact is that the guide speaks Russian so that we did not feel the difference between his Russian and Thai. Despite the so-called "rainy season", we took a chance and went at this time - and did not regret it a bit, I want to tell everyone "Well, there is NO RAIN SEASON IN THAILAND" - the maximum that awaits you is a short rain at night (you can see on photos-weather class! ), so pack your bags and run to Thailand before ours come running there, because in winter there will be nowhere for an apple to fall, and now you have the opportunity to visit the beauties of this country calmly, without crowds and fuss.
And now a few words about Bangkok - a city of contrasts - skyscrapers around, and below the Troyeshchina market, trade + constant stench, at first it was embarrassing, then they got used to it. In Bangkok, we lived in the Bangkok Palace Hotel, the hotel is so-so for 3, but you can live for 2 days, one big plus is being in the center, they are constantly cleaned, there are no insects, cockroaches. We ate in Bangkok at the Siam Paragon shopping center, I recommend the Fudji sushi bar, tasty and inexpensive + nice interior. In the city itself, there are many shopping centers where everything is $1, as well as Thai massage, which is $5 there, and $10 in resorts. Next we went to about. Phuket is a rather large island - distances are akin to Kyiv, the most lively coast is the western one, beaches: Patong, Karon, Kata. We rested on Katya beach, very pleasant, a paradise for surfers, and the resort itself is lively, but not overly noisy like Patong, which is 10 minutes away. ride.

We were very pleased with the hotel - in Thai style, with good landscaping, with 2 pools, one of which allows you to travel around the hotel, there are rooms with direct access to the pool, the rest with access to the territory, but with fish under the balcony. The food is varied and tasty, vacationers are foreigners, apparently this is why my review on the site is the first. The hotel is excellent, clean and tidy, with polite staff, besides its Thai style allows you to fully experience the national flavor. When choosing a tour, I read reviews about it on English-language sites 100% positive, I recommend it to everyone. We took excursions to Khao Lak, KRABI from a tour operator, PHI PHI from Thais (a trip with an overnight stay on a large boat) I recommend visiting one of the national parks-Khao Lak or Khao Sok with an elephant ride, we went to Krabi by boat (20 people) organized good + Russian guide ($70 per person).
Phi Phi cost $ 35 (per person) with an overnight stay in a bungalow - there are no other hotels, Phi Phi Don is a residential island - mostly British youth and Scandinavians - a party place, Phi Phi Le island according to the movie "BEACH" only for a beach holiday , but even land in his Maya Bay - $ 6 (per person). On Phi Phi Don you will find a beach of wild monkeys, be careful, they will not stand on their own, they will immediately take away water and food, and will rush at you if you want to chat. The bungalows on the island are quite tolerable, not 5 stars, but you are provided with a clean bed, a shower and a room with a view. Do not take a tour on a big ship or a big speedboat - it's a waste of money, you will be taken past the islands, they will not land monkeys on the beach and they will not be in Maya Bay, they will throw you into the water for 30 minutes, where another hundred tourists like you from others will flounder boats.
It is better to take a ticket with an overnight stay, and then for $ 30 you will take a Thai with a boat and he will take you wherever you want, believe me, there is something to see and a one-day excursion is not enough for you. In addition, the night Phi Phi is a very lively and party island. And lastly, I recommend a direct flight Kyiv-Bangkok, since we flew through Ashgabat - a little pleasant, tiring and full of scoops at the airport, a miserable handel in the waiting area and duty free with national robes and carpets, the complete opposite of Bangkok - its airport is worth a separate story, and duty-free distance of a kilometer pleases all lovers of branded boutiques.
