Отдых на Пхукете / Naithon Holidays in Phuket / Naithon

finally got around to write a review of the hotel and rest.
We chose a hotel for a long time, then we decided to refuse the trip (flood, flood, doomsday) because of the hyped black PR action against Thailand. In the end, let's go.
At customs in Bangkok, I had to fill out a bunch of forms. As a result, from landing to exit from the airport about 1 hour 40 minutes. Ukrainians pay for a visa. Russians - free of charge.
Then check-in for a domestic flight, a snack. As a result, there was 1 hour left before departure. There were 4.5 hours between planes.
All the hotels that we saw in Phuket are all unpretentious. there is no super frills, so you have to tune in to it.
The hotel itself is clean and well maintained. Swimming pool. along the edge of the hotel, parallel to the road, a stinky river flows (more precisely, a stream) with a bunch of mosquitoes.

Room - standard, double bed, air conditioning, refrigerator. given on the ground floor with a swimming pool. at first they were upset, the noise, the din of vacationers. but then realized that the location is convenient. left the room closed the door and swim under the windows. suddenly something went to do something about it. no need to go to the other end of the hotel. Mosquitoes get out at night.
At first it was interesting, but then it got boring. there is no movement. all the action was in Patong. We took a taxi a couple of times (there are no tuk-tuks near the hotel) and paid 1.700 baht (1.500 back). the next time they took mopeds and drove around the island without a license for 300 baht / day + 60 baht for gasoline, you fill it yourself. Enough to travel around the island all day. Their traffic police never stopped us. although we drove generally crazy compared to the locals. When you wake up, check the brakes immediately and change the bike if they are bad. The road to Patong passes through a serpentine...
Where can you relax / see:
- Central Festival shopping center: cool shops, things / equipment there are 10-30% less than in Kyiv. Restaurant Sisler on the second floor. 700 baht marbled meat + inlim salads (buffet). Sushi restaurant Zeon or Zen on the ground floor next to the supermarket. The sushi is really big and delicious. the prices are the same as in Kyiv, which was very surprising.
- small and large waterfall in the park
- Patong. Simona show (show-transfestites. 100% all transfestivals. differ from girls in leg size - 43-44th : ) ). . .
You can go on a free sightseeing tour if you want to lose half a day and like to buy all sorts of garbage like dietary supplements, snake drugs for $400, etc. one plus from it you are taken to a souvenir shop - row everything there. lower prices will not be .
I want to note that you can eat on the beach and in the hotel (10-15% more expensive than on the beach due to taxes). On the beach I want to mention the BAMBO restaurant. the steward of this restaurant is a boy in the image of BOB MARLEY, a big bow and respect to them. Everything was top notch. ordered akala - grilled and fried like you lick your fingers.
To sum up: the rest was worth it. want to go a few more times
